Meghalaya taxi fares: what a seat and a cab actually cost
Published shared taxi fares for Guwahati–Shillong and Meghalaya day trips — 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.
Day trips, per person
| Trip | Per person |
|---|---|
| Shillong | ₹1,000 |
| Cherrapunji | ₹1,200 |
| Krang Suri & Phe Phe | ₹1,300 |
| Double Decker trek | ₹1,200 |
| Dawki & Mawlynnong | ₹1,500 |
Vehicle, driver, fuel, parking and tolls are included. Entry fees, boating at Dawki, trek guides and meals are paid on the day.
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.
