Guwahati airport (GAU) is the usual gate for Meghalaya. A Leafyinn cab meets you after baggage, then takes the Shillong road without a city detour unless you ask for one.
Late-night arrivals are common on Delhi and Bengaluru connections. After 9 pm, night waiting is ₹250 per hour — we do not leave you bargaining at the kerb. Airport pickup starts from ₹2,500. If the flight slips, the driver holds — tell us the PNR.
The first stretch is flat Assam highway; the climb starts after Jorabat. Families with children often prefer an Innova or similar SUV so the last hour is less cramped. Couples usually take a sedan unless monsoon fog is forecast.
You can add a short Umiam stop if you land before dusk. After dark we skip the viewpoint and go straight to the stay. That is a local call, not a brochure promise.
Common questions
Where does the driver wait at GAU?
At the arrivals kerb after you exit baggage. We share the vehicle number and driver phone before you land. Airport pickup starts from ₹2,500.
What does a GAU to Shillong cab cost?
Airport and city pickup both start from ₹2,500 (sedan ₹3,500, Ertiga ₹4,500, Innova ₹5,500). After 9 pm, night waiting is ₹250 per hour.
What if my flight is delayed?
Message the desk or the driver. Waiting time for delayed flights is built into airport transfers; we do not restart the meter from zero.
Can the same cab stay for a Meghalaya circuit?
Yes. Airport-to-Shillong is often day one of a Shillong–Sohra–Dawki circuit. Ask for a multi-day hire when you inquire.
