Short answer
Can you drop employees home after a night shift in Sanand?
Yes. We run night pickups and drops for Sanand GIDC units every night of the week. Each employee gets the driver's name, phone and car number before pickup, every car is GPS tracked, and live location can be shared with family or the plant's security desk.
A night shift is where transport problems show up first. A bus that leaves at 2:10 AM does not wait for the person still signing out; a two-wheeler ride to Ahmedabad after eight hours on a line is the most dangerous part of the day; and a woman finishing at midnight should not have to walk from a highway stop. Door-to-door cars solve those three problems, and the cost is easy to predict once you know which trips fall inside the night window.
Try your shift times
Which of your shift changes carry the night charge?
Enter your three shift change times. The bar shows which ones fall inside 10 PM–6 AM, where the 20% night charge applies.
With JavaScript on, this planner marks which shift changes fall in the night window.
A common three-shift pattern changes at 6 AM, 2 PM and 10 PM. Here the 10 PM change is inside the window, and the 6 AM change sits exactly on its edge: a pickup at 5:30 AM for a 6 AM start is a night trip, so plan those pickups as night trips too. Moving a change by 30 minutes can take a whole route out of the window, which is worth knowing before you fix the timings.
Safety
What keeps a night drop safe?
Known drivers, known cars, a tracked route and an office that answers at 3 AM. Each of these is a confirmed part of how we run, not an add-on.
Before and during the ride
- Driver's name, phone and car number sent before pickup
- GPS tracking on every car; live location shared on request
- Drivers may not change an assigned trip without office approval, and the GPS shows any change
- Female drivers available on request
- Fire extinguisher, working seat belts and a spare tyre with tools in every car
Behind the scenes
- Each driver's commercial licence checked before they drive for us
- Pre-trip vehicle check before every shift
- Rest between duties; a tired driver is replaced
- A driver with a serious complaint is taken off that company's route
- Employees can report a safety concern confidentially, directly to the owner
We can share our written safety policy with your HR or EHS team.
Worked examples
How much does a night drop cost?
Take the daytime fare and add 20% if the trip starts between 10 PM and 6 AM. For one-off bookings the ₹1,000 minimum comes first, so most single night drops from the estate cost ₹1,200 in a sedan.
| Night trip from Sanand GIDC | Daytime fare | With night charge |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan to Ahmedabad SG Highway (21 km) | ₹1,000 (minimum) | ₹1,200 |
| Ertiga to Viramgam (40 km) | ₹1,100 (minimum) | ₹1,320 |
| Innova Crysta to Gandhinagar (50 km) | ₹1,500 (minimum) | ₹1,800 |
| Sedan to Becharaji (90 km) | ₹1,620 | ₹1,944 |
| Innova Crysta to Becharaji (90 km) | ₹2,430 | ₹2,916 |
Indicative one-way drop fares on approximate distances; tolls extra. Company night routes are priced in the monthly quote, where several drops share one vehicle.

Questions & answers
Night-shift cab questions
From employees, HR and plant security teams.
When does the night charge apply?
To trips that start between 10 PM and 6 AM. It adds 20% to the fare; a ₹1,000 sedan trip becomes ₹1,200.
Can a woman employee ask for a female driver?
Yes, female drivers are available on request. Mention it when the route is set up or when you book.
Can my family see where the cab is?
Yes. Live location can be shared during the trip, and the driver's name, phone and car number are sent before pickup.
What if the shift runs late and the cab has to wait?
The first 30 minutes of waiting are free, then ₹100 an hour. Tell the driver or our office as soon as you know, so other drops on the route are not held up.
Do you take night drops for one person, not a company?
Yes. Anyone can book a night drop from the Sanand estates by WhatsApp or phone, with the same safety steps and the 20% night charge.
