Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025
Taxis

Prepaid taxi services are the most common and recommended option. You can find the official prepaid taxi counter inside the arrivals hall, which offers fixed, government-approved fares to popular destinations like Siliguri, Darjeeling, Gangtok, and Kalimpong, eliminating the need for negotiation. App-based ride-hailing services like Uber and Ola also operate in the area, though availability can sometimes be inconsistent directly at the airport.

Rental Cars

Car rental at Bagdogra Airport typically refers to hiring a car with a driver (a chauffeured service) rather than self-drive. Numerous local tour operators and travel agencies have counters in the arrival area where you can book a vehicle for local sightseeing or multi-day trips to the surrounding hill stations. It is advisable to book in advance, especially during peak tourist season. True self-drive rental options are very limited in this region.

Public Transportation

Public transport is a budget-friendly but less direct option. Public buses are available from the main road (NH31) outside the airport entrance, connecting to the Tenzing Norgay Bus Terminus in Siliguri. From this bus stand, you can find frequent connecting buses and shared jeeps/taxis to major destinations like Darjeeling and Gangtok. Auto-rickshaws are also available for short-distance travel to Siliguri, but you must negotiate the fare beforehand.
