I have the controller like the below:

public ActionResult Save(string input, string name) {
    //Some code
    return PartialView();
}

And I need an ajax call to this controller method and pass the two arguments input and value

And my ajax call is like the below:

$.ajax({
    url: '/Home/Save',
    type: 'POST',
    async: false,
    dataType: 'text',
    processData: false,
    data: "input=" + JSON.stringify(data) + "&name =" + $("#name").val(),
    success: function (data) {
    }
});

I am unable to pass the value to the name parameter. The value in the name parameter is becoming null.

You're making an HTTP POST, but trying to pass parameters with the GET query string syntax. In a POST, the data are passed as named parameters and do not use the param=value&foo=bar syntax. Using jQuery's ajax method lets you create a javascript object with the named parameters, like so:

$.ajax({
  url: '/Home/SaveChart',
  type: 'POST',
  async: false,
  dataType: 'text',
  processData: false,    
  data: { 
      input: JSON.stringify(IVRInstant.data), 
      name: $("#wrkname").val()
  },
  success: function (data) { }
});

I believe that by default, forms with a POST method to submit a URI string in the body of the message.

In addition to posts by @xdumain, I prefer creating data object before ajax call so you can debug it.

var dataObject = JSON.stringify({
                    'input': $('#myInput').val(),
                    'name': $('#myName').val(),
                });

Now use it in ajax call

$.ajax({
          url: "/Home/SaveChart",
          type: 'POST',
          async: false,
          dataType: 'json',
          contentType: 'application/json',
          data: dataObject,
          success: function (data) { },
          error: function (xhr) { }            )};

function final_submit1() {
    var city = $("#city").val();
    var airport = $("#airport").val();

    var vehicle = $("#vehicle").val();

    if(city && airport){
    $.ajax({
        type:"POST",
        cache:false,
        data:{"city": city,"airport": airport},
        url:'http://airportLimo/ajax-car-list', 
        success: function (html) {
             console.log(html);
          //$('#add').val('data sent');
          //$('#msg').html(html);
           $('#pprice').html("Price: $"+html);
        }
      });

    }  
}

I did that with helping from this question

jquery get querystring from URL

so let see how we will use this function

// Read a page's GET URL variables and return them as an associative array.
function getUrlVars()
{
    var vars = [], hash;
    var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
    for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
    {
        hash = hashes[i].split('=');
        vars.push(hash[0]);
        vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
    }
    return vars;
}

and now just use it in Ajax call

"ajax": {
    url: '/Departments/GetAllDepartments/',                     
    type: 'GET',                       
    dataType: 'json',                       
    data: getUrlVars()// here is the tricky part
},

thats all, but if you want know how to use this function or not send all the query string parameters back to actual answer

  dataType: "json",
  success: function (data) {
     response($.map(data.d, function (item) {
         return { value: item }
     }))

      alert("Error");
