In the realm of extraordinary transportation experiences, India never ceases to amaze. Before this Skoda Slavia taxi, we featured a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a multi-crore luxury sedan, which was also used as a taxi. For those unaware, the Rolls-Royce Phantom taxi is owned by Bobby Chemannur, a renowned billionaire and businessman, who has introduced an unparalleled tourist package that offers customers free rides in a Rolls-Royce Phantom VII LWB.

Back in 2020, a video surfaced featuring the distinctively golden-wrapped Rolls-Royce Phantom taxi. This eye-catching vehicle, owned by Bobby Chemannur, stood out from the crowd with its shimmering exterior. The video also revealed an interesting twist—the billionaire Bobby Chemannur assumed the role of the taxi driver for this exceptional Rolls-Royce Phantom taxi. This unexpected sight showcased Bobby’s passion for providing an unparalleled experience to his customers.

Bobby Chemannur did this gig as a marketing stunt and offered a tourist package that provided the opportunity to enjoy a ride in the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII for free. By purchasing a holiday package from Oxigen Resorts, customers not only received a 2-3 night stay but also a generous 300 km of complimentary Rolls-Royce transportation.
