5. Status of SupremeCar & Commercial Vehicle Policy

Regulatory

Role as a Technology Intermediary: SupremeCar operates as a technology and communication platform connecting travelers with verified driver partners. SupremeCar does not operate vehicles or directly employ drivers as transport carriers. The legal contract of carriage is established directly between the Driver and the Passenger.

Commercial Vehicle Requirement (Yellow Number Plates)

SupremeCar operates for commercial passenger transport. Vehicles offering rides on the platform must hold valid commercial registration (yellow number plates) in compliance with the Indian Motor Vehicles Act and regional RTO regulations. Private registration vehicles (white number plates) are not permitted to earn commercial fares. Drivers operating unauthorized vehicles do so at their sole legal and regulatory risk.

6. Booking Service & Trip Confirmations

Bookings

Drivers publish ride schedules specifying departure date, pickup points, travel route, destination, cost contribution per seat, and available seating capacity.

  • Passengers book seats by clicking “Book Ride” and submitting the required passenger details.
  • Upon transaction authorization, SupremeCar transmits a digital Booking Confirmation via SMS, Email, or WhatsApp.
  • Once the confirmation is issued, a legally binding agreement for the ride is deemed established between the Passenger and the Driver.
  • SupremeCar reserves the right to restrict the number of bookings per user to maintain service integrity.
