Flight Tracking, Waiting Time & Night Pickups
We track your flight
Share your flight number when you book. If the flight is early or late, we move the pickup to match, so you don't need to message us from the plane.
60 minutes free waiting
The clock starts when your flight actually lands, not when it was scheduled. That's usually plenty for baggage at Jolly Grant. If you're stuck longer, such as with lost baggage, message the driver and we'll tell you before any extra waiting is charged.
Night pickups, same fare
We run 24x7 with no night charge. For a late arrival or a 5 AM departure, the fare is the same ₹2,000 drop or ₹2,350 pickup. For early flights we usually leave Rishikesh about 2 to 2.5 hours before departure.
How the Airport Pickup Works
- Before you land: we send your driver's name, phone number and car number on WhatsApp.
- When you land: switch your phone on and message or call the driver. Jolly Grant is a small airport with one arrivals exit, so it's easy to find each other.
- Walk out to the car: the driver directs you to where the car is waiting. Check the car number matches what we sent.
- Straight to your hotel: the driver takes you to your hotel or ashram gate in Rishikesh. For Tapovan and Laxman Jhula lanes that cars can't enter, they stop at the nearest point.
