Is a one-way cheaper than booking a return?

Per kilometre, no — a one way is priced as the run plus the empty return, because the vehicle has to come back. On busy sectors such as Guwahati to Shillong we hold a flat one-way rate that is lower than the calculation, because we usually have a return passenger.

What if we stop for lunch or photos?

Short stops are normal and cost nothing. The route pages name the stops people actually make and what each one adds to the drive. A long detour off the quoted route is billed as extra kilometres.

Can I book a cab for tomorrow morning?

Usually yes out of Guwahati and Shillong, where we hold vehicles. Hill sectors and Tempo Travellers need more notice, anything entering Arunachal needs five working days for the permit, and Tsomgo, Nathu La or North Sikkim need your ID the day before.

How do you calculate drive times?

From our own drivers running the route, in daylight, with a normal stop or two. They are not map estimates. Monsoon landslides and the Sohra descent can both add an hour, and the route pages say where.

What happens if my flight is late?

Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting from actual landing time, and the driver tracks the flight. Beyond that it is billed per hour. Tell us the flight number, not the scheduled time.

FAQ

How cab fares work

Per vehicle. You book the whole car and nobody else gets in it. The fare does not change whether two or six people travel, only the vehicle class does.
