From the Howrah Bridge to the Victoria Memorial, and from the Shobhabazar Rajbari to the Shaheed Minar, Kolkata is a city of many attractions. It is little wonder that the land of poetry, literature, theatre and advanced thought attracts many a visitor. It is also a leading centre of commerce and trade, and has developed many great institutions of learning over the years as well.
However, travelling in Kolkata when you are part of a group is an exercise in patience. The city’s roads are unable to keep up with the high traffic volumes, and public transport is quite unreliable. If you are part of a group of visitors that are in the city for sightseeing or business, then you will need a dedicated vehicle to take you around. The best thing to do is to choose a mini bus rental in Kolkata.
The pricing varies as per the seating capacity of the bus and whether the bus is an AC or non-AC one. At the moment, we offer these seating capacities for hired mini buses in Kolkata:
- 15 Seater Minibus
- 18 Seater Minibus
- 20 Seater Minibus
- 21 Seater Minibus
- 22 Seater Minibus
How a Mini Bus Rental Works
A rented vehicle is a better option than hiring a fleet of cars, or private cabs/autorickshaws to commute in Kolkata. In a city as crowded as this, you don’t want to be stuck in a cacophony of traffic and air pollution while you try to reach your destination. Instead, a mini bus hired/rented in Kolkata offers an easy, comfortable and safe commute. You can reach your destination in comfort and silence, and even catch up on your rest (if on a long journey outside the city).
Not only is it a cost-effective solution, but a practical one as far as groups are concerned. You can arrange for a mini bus for rent/hire in Kolkata depending on the group size. Generally, it is a great solution for groups of 15 to 20 people.
