Meru Cabs — Driver misled passenger to bill more

Address:	Bangalore, Karnataka, 560077
Website:	Www.merucabs.com

I boarded a Meru Airport taxi from Bangalore Airport @ 1.10 AM on 26th November. The driver started the cab and asked my location after few minutes on the one way exit. I told him the drop location, which is my residence near Kannuru (should be around 20+ kmts ). He informed me that the "company" has informed him not to take the straight route as it is unsafe at night and took a complete round through Ring Road. My bill was 984 Rupees. It usually costs me 350 bucks max! There was no bill, I unfortunately did not note the number as I was too tired. My drop was around 2.10 AM. I called Meru call center and they informed that the company has not informed drivers about avoiding routes for night time "safety" - he just conned me !
I would like to get a refund, I believe the driver throughly cheated me by misleading and taking advantage of the hour of travel!!
