The passengers are surprised when they learn that it is no ordinary taxi and that they are on national television with the unique opportunity to win a grand cash prize of Rs. 20,000/- en route to their respective destination. To win, a passenger only needs to give the right answers to questions asked by Cash Cab anchor cum driver - Munish Makhija. The questions get progressively challenging with each correct answer as does the cash prize. Incorrect answers get a strike - and three such strikes will see passenger(s) out of the cab and on the road irrespective of the distance remaining to their actual destination! Passengers get two lifelines in case they do not know the answer to a particular question. They can either stop and ask strangers on the street or call a friend for help.
