Our chauffeurs know the optimal routes considering time of day and traffic conditions.
For airport drops, we recommend pickup times based on your flight schedule and current traffic conditions. The journey to the airport via VIP Road can vary based on traffic, and our experience helps ensure timely arrivals.

Local Car Rental - 8 Hours / 80 Kilometers Package
Kolkata's local car rental service is ideal for business meetings across the city's IT parks and industrial zones, exploring Kolkata's colonial and cultural heritage, shopping expeditions, medical appointments, or any full-day travel needs. Our standard package provides 8 hours of chauffeur-driven service with 80 kilometers of travel, offering flexibility for comprehensive daily activities.

Additional kilometers beyond 80 and hours beyond 8 are charged at transparent, predetermined rates clearly specified in your booking confirmation.
