A breakdown during an outstation trip is rare with well-maintained vehicles — but knowing exactly what to do keeps you calm and gets you moving again quickly.

Immediate Steps

1. Stay calm and safe first

  • Ask your driver to pull completely off the road — ideally onto the road shoulder or a layby
  • Switch on hazard lights immediately
  • Do not stand on the highway — stay inside the car or well behind the crash barrier

2. Contact EZPZ Taxi helpline immediately Call or WhatsApp +91-9871121217 — available 24/7. Provide:

  • Your location (share live GPS location via WhatsApp)
  • Vehicle number and driver name
  • Nature of the problem (tyre, engine, accident)

EZPZ will either dispatch a replacement vehicle or coordinate local roadside assistance depending on where you are.

3. Let your driver handle the vehicle Your EZPZ driver carries basic tools and has roadside contacts. For tyre issues, most drivers can change a tyre within 20–30 minutes. For engine problems, EZPZ coordinates with local mechanics.

On Highway Stretches (NH-44, NH-48, Yamuna Expressway)

All major highways have NHAI helpline: 1033 — available 24/7 for highway emergencies. NHAI patrol vehicles operate on expressways and can assist with fuel, tyre changes, and accident reporting.

EZPZ Responsibility

EZPZ Taxi takes full responsibility for completing your journey — if a vehicle cannot be repaired quickly, a replacement vehicle is arranged. You are not stranded.

For outstation trips beyond 300 km, EZPZ vehicles undergo a pre-trip check before departure.

What NOT to Do

  • Don't accept help from strangers on highways offering to "take you to a mechanic" — this is a common tourist scam on Rajasthan and UP highways
  • Don't leave your luggage unattended in a broken-down vehicle on the roadside
