    Raj C.Google review
  • “The most important thing is that they come before the schedule time. The fare is also reasonable. Overall I got best service evertime I booked them. I suggest everyone to use Smarto Cabs only for airport pick up and dropping.”
    Bivash R.Google review
  • “Had a great experience with Smarto Cabs. Booked for a drop off at the Borjhar airport and the cab arrived before the time. The ride was good and the driver was very polite. The price was very much reasonable.”
    Arindom B.Google review
  • “Had a very comfortable and pleasant ride from airport to the city on Nov 28 2024. The cab was clean and well maintained. The driving was professional and the well mannered driver reached us to our destination in good time. The reasonable fare charged is a major plus point. Overall a nice experience and I will definitely avail the services of Smarto Cabs as and when required for commuting to and from the airport. My best wishes for their continued success.”
    Dhruba B.Google review
  • “I used Smarto Cabs first time, for airport drop. On time pick up, neat and clean vehicle, smooth drive, no time wasting or diverting to longer routes and timely drop. I would use regularly. Very happy for their service. Thanks.”

When do Smarto hotel bookings start?

Smarto hotel bookings begin on 15 November 2026. Until then you can look around, and booking opens on that date.

Can Smarto book hotels in Shillong, Cherrapunji and Guwahati?

Yes, and anywhere else in India or abroad. The Shillong and Cherrapunji stays on this page are the ones our journeys use most.

Can I book just a hotel, without a cab or package?

Yes. Book only the stay, or add an airport ride or a whole trip and we plan them together.

What hotel budgets do you cover?

From five-star hotels to clean, comfortable three-star and budget rooms. Tell us your budget and we suggest stays that fit it.

How do I get hotel options and rates?

Use the planner at the top of this page or message us on WhatsApp. We send a few options with their rates, and you choose.

Do I need ID to check in to a hotel in Meghalaya?

Yes. Carry a photo ID: hotels in Meghalaya register every guest. Meghalaya does not need an Inner Line Permit for Indian visitors.

Is the price I'm quoted the price I pay?

Yes. Every Smarto quote is all-in and our cab fares are fixed: no surge for rain, rush hour or a 2 AM pickup, and nothing added at the end.

Is Smarto available 24x7 during the trip?

Yes. Our team is on call 24x7 on WhatsApp and phone (+91 70990 13815), from the first pickup to the drop home.
