## What do people book local cabs for in Ahmedabad?

Most local bookings are station and bus-stand transfers, office meetings across the city, hospital visits, shopping and family functions, and a car for the whole day when there are many stops.

| Local trip | Booking tip |
|---|---|
| Railway station (Kalupur, Sabarmati, Maninagar) | Give the train time; we plan the pickup |
| Geeta Mandir bus stand | Share the bus arrival time and your coach number |
| Meetings across the city | Book the car for the day so it waits between meetings |
| Hospital visit | Mention the hospital gate or block for drop-off |
| Wedding or family function | Book early; several cars may be needed at once |

## How does full-day hire work?

For a full day you keep one car and one driver for all your stops. The fare is the kilometres driven times the per-km rate, plus waiting after the first free 30 minutes at any stop, tolls and parking.

Tell us your plan for the day, roughly where you are going and when you will be done, so we can send a car that suits it. For a fixed number of hours, ask about our hourly and half-day local packages; their prices are given on request. If the day ends with a drive out of the city, the same car can continue as an outstation trip.

## How is a local fare worked out?

Distance times the per-km rate, plus anything extra on the way. Ask for an estimate when you book: give us the pickup, the stops and the drop and we tell you the expected distance and fare.

- **Rate:** ₹12/km sedan, ₹13/km Ertiga, ₹18/km Innova Crysta.
- **Waiting:** first 30 minutes free, then ₹100 an hour.
- **Tolls and parking:** paid at actual cost.
- **Night:** 20% extra between 10 PM and 6 AM.

## Which car is best for a local ride?

A Swift Dzire sedan suits up to four people and is the cheapest at ₹12/km. Choose an Ertiga for five or six people, and an Innova Crysta for seven or for a long day with guests.

For a family function or a group outing with more than seven people, ask for a Tempo Traveller or bus; it is quoted on call. Our Tempo Traveller guide (https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/blog/tempo-traveller-group-van-ahmedabad.html) explains when a group van makes sense.
