Book Outstation, Local & Airport Cabs

Shillong's roads are a category of their own — Laitumkhrah's steep lanes, the pine-lined stretch along Ward's Lake, and the climb from Police Bazar up to Shillong Peak all demand a driver who knows where the hairpins tighten and where the fog rolls in without warning. That's exactly what TransRentals' chauffeur service in Shillong is built for. Whether you're a family arriving at Umroi Airport after a delayed SpiceJet hop from Kolkata, a wedding party moving between a church in Nongthymmai and a reception at a Lumdiengjri banquet hall, or a government officer posted at the Main Secretariat who needs a reliable car for the Guwahati–Shillong NH-6 run, a trained local chauffeur takes the wheel so you don't have to think about the Umiam bypass or the Shillong Bypass junction at 11 PM. Our chauffeurs are background-verified residents who drive these roads daily — they know that Police Bazar one-ways reverse in the evening, that the road to Mawphlang gets slick after September rain, and that parking near Don Bosco Square during the Cherry Blossom Festival in November is a battle best left to someone who's done it before. For visitors doing the Sohra (Cherrapunji) circuit — Nohkalikai Falls, Mawsmai Caves, the double-decker root bridge at Nongriat — a chauffeur for the full day is almost non-negotiable. The 54 km stretch from Shillong to Sohra looks short on the map but takes 2.5–3 hours each way in the monsoon, and the last thing you want after a wet trek is to drive back through Laitryngew in the dark. Monthly packages are popular with Meghalaya Secretariat staff, hospital consultants at NEIGRIHMS, and families whose children attend schools in Laitumkhrah and Nongthymmai — one driver, one car, fixed monthly cost, no parking headaches.

Why Choose Us

  Our chauffeurs are locals who handle Laitumkhrah's steep lanes, the Shillong Peak climb and the Umiam Lake bypass daily — no first-timer hesitancy on the city's 15%+ gradients.

• Monsoon-ready driving

  June–September in Shillong means slick roads, poor visibility on NH-6 and sudden landslides near Mawlai. Our drivers are trained for wet-season braking and know which routes to avoid after heavy rain.

Tips

• If you're doing the Sohra–Nongriat root bridge trek, book your chauffeur for 12 hours, not 8 — the 3,000-step descent and climb alone takes 4–5 hours.
• During monsoon (June–September), avoid scheduling Sohra or Dawki trips on the same day as a Guwahati airport drop — landslides on NH-6 near Mawlai can add 2+ hours.
• For Guwahati airport transfers, leave Shillong by 5 AM if your flight is before 11 AM — the NH-6 truck traffic through Nongpoh builds up fast after 7 AM.
• Shillong's Police Bazar one-way system reverses around 4 PM; tell your chauffeur your exact pickup point (e.g., near Khyndailad or Don Bosco Square) to avoid a 15-minute loop.
• If you're visiting Mawlynnong or Dawki, ask your driver to start by 6:30 AM — the Umngot River boat queue at Dawki gets long after 10 AM on weekends.
• Book a chauffeur for wedding days at least 3 weeks ahead, especially in November–December when Shillong's wedding season peaks alongside the Cherry Blossom Festival.
