Yes. Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels picks up and drops staff at the SMG plant and vendor units at any hour. Every car has GPS, the driver's name, phone and car number are sent before pickup, live location can be shared with your coordinator, and female drivers are available on request. Trips between 10 PM and 6 AM carry a 20% night charge. - **24/7**: Night runs - **+20%**: Night charge - **GPS**: On every car - **On request**: Female drivers Night transport is where companies set their own rules, and we follow them: some want the driver to wait until the employee is inside, some want the women on a route dropped first or last, some want a call to the coordinator when the last drop is done. Write the rules into the route plan and the driver gets them with the route. Employees can also report a safety concern confidentially, directly to the owner. Drivers may not change an assigned trip without office approval, and the GPS record shows any change. ## Which of your runs fall in the night window? Enter the shift-end and pickup times. The night charge applies to trips that start between 10 PM and 6 AM. ## How does a night drop run? The same five steps every night. - **Roster before the cut-off.** HR confirms who leaves at which time. - **Driver details out.** Name, phone and car number to staff and coordinator. - **Pickup at the gate.** At the time agreed; GPS tracking from the start. - **Drops in agreed order.** Following your company's drop rules. - **Last drop reported.** The office calls or WhatsApps the coordinator if anything is delayed. ## Night-shift questions From HR teams and staff. ### Is there an extra charge at night? Yes, 20% on trips that start between 10 PM and 6 AM. ### Can a woman employee get a female driver? Female drivers are available on request; ask when you set up the route. ### Can our coordinator see where the car is? Yes, live location can be shared, and companies can get a login to the GPS tracking portal. ### What if a car breaks down at night? We send a backup car, typically within about an hour for a plant shift, and inform your coordinator right away. ### What checks do your drivers go through? Each driver's commercial driving licence is checked before they drive for us, and drivers are briefed on safe driving and customer service before company routes. ## Related pages - [Three-shift transport plan](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/becharaji-plants/shift-transport.html): Routes for every shift change at the plant. - [Daily staff up-down](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/becharaji-plants/daily-staff-transport.html): Fixed routes for staff, every working day. - [Urgent cab, any hour](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/becharaji-plants/urgent-cab-24x7.html): Last-minute trips by phone or WhatsApp, 24/7. - [Transport for women employees](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/women-employee-transport.html): The safety steps in detail (Sanand guide; same practice here). **Short general answers in our [Knowledge Hub](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/)** - [Can you arrange late-night drop-off services for employees finishing their shifts?](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/employee-transport/late-night-drop-after-shift/) - [What measures do you take to ensure employees are dropped off safely?](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/answers/safety-and-tracking/safe-drop-off-for-employees/) **Written by [Vaibhaviba Bhavsinh Solanki](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/author/vaibhaviba-bhavsinh-solanki.html)**, owner of Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels: GST and MSME registered, 8+ years in business, with our branch at Hansalpur Circle next to the SMG plant and an Ahmedabad office in Ghatlodiya.
