“The cab arrangement was simple, with the pickup point, driver details, and route shared before travel. The Srinagar Airport Drop arrangement was convenient and removed the need to negotiate transport again during the trip. A useful part of the service was that the driver called shortly before reaching our hotel. The private vehicle worked well for our group because reasonable stops could be coordinated directly with the driver. We were satisfied with the punctuality, vehicle comfort, and straightforward communication throughout the trip.”
