Quick take: Guwahati's airport (Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International) is on the city's western edge, about 12 km from our pickup in Maligaon. You can come to us by cab and ride away on a bike (₹999/day) or scooty (₹799/day), take our 7-seater car (₹2,799/day), or skip driving altogether with a private car and driver, from ₹2,900/day.

Option 1: Rent a bike, scooty or car

  1. Book before you fly. Send us your flight date and the vehicle on WhatsApp, so it's ready.
  2. Take a cab to Maligaon. App cabs and prepaid taxis run from the airport. Our pickup is about 12 km away.
  3. Ride or drive away. You get a full tank, helmets for bikes and scooties, and no security deposit on the vehicle (only a deposit for the fuel, settled when you return).

Flying out? Return the vehicle at Maligaon before your agreed time, then take a cab to the airport. Leave plenty of buffer for traffic.

Option 2: A private car with a driver

If you've just flown in with luggage, a private car with a local driver is the easy way to start: no cab to the pickup, no driving on unfamiliar roads, and the bags stay in the car. Popular first trips:

  • Shillong: about 100 km, 3–4 hours. Land in the morning and you can be there by afternoon.
  • Meghalaya: Shillong, Cherrapunji, Dawki and Mawlynnong over 3 to 5 days.
  • Kaziranga: about 220 km, for a safari the same afternoon if you land early.
  • Tawang: two days each way via Bomdila and Sela Pass.

Tell us your flight time when you book and we'll plan the start of the trip around it.

Private cars with a driver

Landing late?

Pickups start from 7 AM. If you land in the evening, stay the night in Guwahati and start fresh, or collect your rental that evening at no extra cost: the rental still starts the next day.

FAQs

How far is your pickup from Guwahati airport? About 12 km, in Maligaon, by cab.

Can you deliver a rental bike to the airport? No, self-drive pickup and drop are only at our Maligaon location.

Can I go straight from the airport to Shillong? Yes. By private car with a driver it's the simplest way, or collect a rental at Maligaon first; Shillong is about 100 km.

What do I need to rent? A valid driving licence (original and a photocopy) for the vehicle. No age limit and no security deposit on the vehicle.
