Taxi service in Kashmir, from ₹2,500 a day.

Clean cars and local drivers from Srinagar to Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg, Jammu and Leh. Fuel, driver and tolls are in the price you're quoted.

Houseboats on Dal Lake

Opens WhatsApp with your details filled in. We usually reply within 15 minutes.

Ola and Uber barely run in Kashmir, and the airport prepaid counter won't take you to Gulmarg for the day. That's the gap we fill: a car and a driver for as long as you need them, at a price agreed before you get in.

From our riders

Our flight landed three hours late and the driver was still at arrivals with a sign. He'd been watching the flight status the whole time.

Meera & family · Airport transfer, April

Snow closed the road to Gulmarg. The driver suggested Sonamarg instead and we had a brilliant day, same price.

Arjun T. · Day trip, February

Innova on the Leh trip was spotless and our driver knew every chai stop on Zoji La.

Fatima R. · Srinagar to Leh, July

Fair price for a full day in Srinagar, and he waited patiently while my mother shopped for shawls.

Questions

Before you book

Can't find your answer? Ask us on WhatsApp

Do Ola or Uber work in Kashmir?

Not really. App cabs are rare in Srinagar and don't do day trips to Gulmarg or Pahalgam. Most visitors book a private taxi for the whole day, which is what we do.

How much does a taxi cost per day?

A sedan starts at ₹2,500 a day, an Innova or Ertiga at ₹3,300, and an Innova Crysta at ₹4,500. Fuel, driver and tolls are included.

What does an airport to hotel transfer cost?

To a hotel or houseboat in Srinagar: ₹1,200 in a sedan, ₹1,500 in an Innova and ₹2,000 in a Tempo Traveller.

Can I book in advance?

Yes, up to 60 days ahead. For April–June and the snow season (Dec–Feb), booking early is a good idea because cars fill up.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track flight and train arrivals and move your pickup to match. There's no extra charge for waiting on a delayed flight.

Are your drivers used to mountain roads?

Yes. All our drivers are from the valley and drive Gulmarg, Sonamarg, Zoji La and the Leh highway regularly, including in snow.

Can I rent a car without a driver?

Yes, we have self-drive cars including the Thar, Scorpio, XUV 500, Swift and Innova. Message us for rates and documents needed.

Tell us where you're going. We'll send the car.

WhatsApp or call any time. You'll speak to someone in our Srinagar office, not a call centre.
