Monthly Cab Rental & Corporate Cab Service in Kolkata

A monthly cab rental in Kolkata gives you a dedicated car and driver for a fixed period (usually 26-30 days), billed as a single package instead of trip-by-trip fares. It is the most economical option for daily office commutes, regular client visits, or families needing a reliable car every day across areas like Salt Lake, New Town, Park Street, Howrah and Behala.

Whether you are a working professional commuting from Garia to Sector V, a company running staff transport, or a visitor staying in the city for a few weeks, a monthly arrangement removes the daily haggling and surge-pricing headaches. Below we explain exactly how these packages work, what they cost in 2026, and how to choose the right plan.

How monthly cab rental works in Kolkata

Unlike a one-off booking, a monthly cab rental is a contracted package. You commit to a fixed number of days, hours per day and kilometres per day, and the operator assigns a dedicated vehicle (and often the same driver) for the duration. There are three common models:

• Fixed package (km + hours capped): The most popular format. For example, 10 hours and 100 km per day, 26 days a month. Anything beyond the cap is charged as extra-hour and extra-km.
• Unlimited-km local plan: A flat monthly rate for running anywhere within Kolkata municipal limits (roughly within 30-40 km of the city centre), with a daily hour cap. Good for sales teams criss-crossing the city.
• Driver-only / car-only: If you own a car, you can hire just a monthly driver. If you have staff but no vehicle, you take car plus driver.

Fuel is usually included in the package rate for “all-inclusive” plans, while some corporate contracts bill fuel separately at actuals. Parking, toll, state taxes and night allowance (typically for duty past 10-11 pm) are charged extra unless agreed otherwise. Always confirm these in writing before you start.

What a typical day looks like

A standard Kolkata monthly package runs 10 or 12 hours a day. A common Salt Lake or New Town corporate shift, for instance, has the cab report by 9 am, cover office runs and client meetings, and release the driver by 7 pm — comfortably inside a 10-hour window. Weekly offs and Sunday duty are pre-agreed; many companies keep the car on a 6-day week and pay extra for Sunday use.

Indicative monthly pricing in Kolkata (2026)

Pricing depends on the car type, the daily km/hour cap and whether fuel is bundled. The ranges below are indicative all-inclusive monthly rates (driver plus fuel) for a typical 26-day, 10-hour, ~100 km/day local plan.

Fares are indicative for 2026 and vary by season, traffic conditions, contract length and fuel prices. Longer contracts (3-6 months) and multi-car corporate fleets usually attract a discount.

Common extra charges

• Extra km: Roughly Rs 11-15 per km beyond the daily cap (hatchback to sedan); Rs 16-20 for SUVs.
• Extra hours: Around Rs 120-200 per hour depending on car type.
• Night allowance: Rs 250-400 per night for duty past 10-11 pm.
• Outstation use: If the cab goes beyond city limits, outstation per-km rates plus driver night charges apply.
• Tolls, parking, state border tax: Billed at actuals.

Corporate cab service: how it differs

Corporate cab service in Kolkata is built around employee transport, client mobility and event logistics for companies in hubs like Sector V Salt Lake, New Town (Rajarhat), Park Street, Camac Street and the SDF/Webel IT belt. The key differences from a personal monthly rental are:

• Fleet contracts: Multiple cars on a single agreement, often a mix of sedans for executives and SUVs/Tempo Travellers for group movement.
• Employee pick-up & drop: Route-based shuttle service for staff, especially for early-morning and night shifts where ETS (employee transport service) compliance matters.
• GST invoicing & credit terms: Monthly consolidated GST invoices, with 15-30 day credit cycles instead of upfront cash.
• Verified drivers & duty slips: Police-verified drivers, uniform standards, daily duty slips and trip logs for audit.
• Dedicated coordinator: A single point of contact and a backup-vehicle promise so a breakdown never strands a shift.

Safety and compliance for night shifts

For women employees on late shifts, Kolkata-based IT and BPO firms typically require GPS-tracked vehicles, a no-last-drop policy for solo female staff, and a security escort or marshal on certain routes. A serious corporate operator will provide live tracking dashboards and panic-button-equipped cars. Always confirm these features when comparing vendors.

Monthly rental vs daily booking: when does it pay off?

If you book a cab on most working days, monthly almost always wins. Consider a daily Salt Lake-to-Park Street commute (about 12-14 km each way). On metered or app cabs you might spend Rs 350-500 round-trip per day, which is Rs 9,000-13,000 a month for just two trips — with no car available in between for errands. A monthly hatchback or sedan package at Rs 35,000-45,000 keeps the car with you all day, every working day, often working out cheaper per hour of availability.

The break-even logic:

• Go monthly if you need the car 4+ hours a day, 20+ days a month, or want the same trusted driver daily.
• Stick to per-trip if your usage is occasional or unpredictable.
• Choose an hourly local package for one-off full-day city use — see our Kolkata local sightseeing plans.

Many monthly clients also use the same car for weekend getaways. If your plan allows outstation use, the dedicated car can run to Digha, Mandarmani, Shantiniketan or the Dooars — check our outstation cab options for the per-km add-on rates.

Tips to get the best monthly cab deal

• Right-size the cap: Don’t pay for a 12-hour/150 km plan if your real usage is 8 hours/60 km. Track a week of normal travel first.
• Lock fuel terms: Prefer all-inclusive if fuel prices are volatile; choose fuel-at-actuals only if your daily km varies wildly.
• Ask for the same driver: A consistent, route-familiar driver saves time daily and improves safety.
• Get a backup-vehicle clause: Essential for corporates so no shift is missed during servicing.
• Sign a clear contract: Define km/hour caps, weekly off, night allowance, outstation rate and notice period in writing.
• Negotiate on length: A 3 or 6-month commitment usually trims 5-10% off the monthly rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a monthly cab rental in Kolkata?

A standard all-inclusive monthly package covers the car, driver and fuel up to a daily cap (commonly 10 hours and around 100 km a day for 26 days). Tolls, parking, night allowance and any outstation running are charged extra.

How much does a monthly cab cost in Kolkata?

Indicative 2026 monthly rates run about Rs 32,000-40,000 for a hatchback, Rs 38,000-48,000 for a sedan, and Rs 62,000-85,000 for a full-size SUV like an Innova, for a typical 26-day local plan. Final cost depends on the km/hour cap, fuel terms and contract length.

Is monthly rental cheaper than booking cabs daily?

If you need a cab 4 or more hours a day on 20-plus days a month, a monthly plan is usually cheaper and far more convenient, since the dedicated car stays with you all day instead of being booked trip by trip.

Do you offer corporate cab service with GST invoicing?

Yes. Corporate clients get fleet contracts, employee pick-up and drop, police-verified drivers, GPS tracking, a dedicated coordinator, backup vehicles and consolidated monthly GST invoices with credit terms.

Can the monthly cab be used for outstation trips?

Yes, if your contract allows it. Travel beyond Kolkata city limits is billed at outstation per-km rates plus driver night charges, on top of your monthly package, for destinations like Digha, Shantiniketan or the Dooars.
