Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

Prepaid taxi services are available at a dedicated counter in the arrivals hall, offering fixed rates to various city destinations. App-based ride-hailing services like Uber and Ola also operate from the airport, providing a convenient alternative. The journey to Guwahati city center typically takes 45-60 minutes, depending on traffic.

Rental Cars

Several local car rental agencies offer both self-drive and chauffeur-driven vehicles. Counters for these services can be found in the arrival area of the terminal. It is highly recommended to book in advance, especially for self-drive options, to ensure availability.

Public Transportation

The Assam State Transport Corporation (ASTC) operates an air-conditioned Volvo bus service. These buses connect the airport to key locations in Guwahati, such as Paltan Bazar (near the main railway station) and the Inter-State Bus Terminus (ISBT). This is the most economical transportation option, with buses running at regular intervals throughout the day.

Gateway to NE India ? Posted by on December 8, 2018

Seriously ? This airport serves several NE states and it looks like a second tier airport in Africa where I’ve lived for some years.
No lounge, no fast lane, not even a bar ???
Did Assam turn into a dry state ;-)
a foreigner so not a major annoyance to me but Sad for the millions of NE Indians using it ...
