Meghalaya taxi fares: what a seat and a cab actually cost
Published shared taxi fares for Guwahati–Shillong — per seat by vehicle, what is included, and how full-cab pricing works.
Fares in Meghalaya are usually quoted at the roadside and vary by who is asking. Here is what a booked seat costs, published.
Guwahati ↔ Shillong, per seat
| Vehicle | Seats | Per seat |
|---|---|---|
| Hatchback (Swift / WagonR) | 4 | ₹750 |
| Sedan (Dzire / Aspire) | 4 | ₹750 |
| Ertiga | 6 | ₹800 |
| Innova | 7 | ₹900 |
| Tata Sumo | 8 | ₹700 |
Flat per seat — no front-seat premium, no back-seat discount. Tolls are included. Luggage beyond one bag and night charges, where they apply, are itemised before you pay.
Taking the whole cab
Book every seat on a vehicle and a flat discount comes off the total. For three or more people this is often cheaper than three separate seats plus the inconvenience of sharing.
