Eco Rent a Car is partner to provide cab service. I will rate 5/5 for the service. Driver is professional and present on time for pickup and drop. Eco car also provided updated info about driver and car via whatsapp and SMS. No hassle in getting service.

I am asking not answering. As it is also Visa signature and sapphire too and all benefits are given by Visa not by bank so may be all benefits are also provided to Indie Debit card as both are same. If yes please answer.
No that doesn't have. I doubt that this benefit is through VISA, but if it is, banks can choose which benefits they want to offer.

So pick up/ drop between Bangalore airport and Bangalore is excluded?
If its below 40km then it will be covered. Otherwise they will take extra charges for difference of distance.
