Local Airport Information
Where the handover happens at Guwahati Airport
LGBI Airport is at Borjhar on the western side of Guwahati. For confirmed airport pickups, we coordinate a practical handover point around the airport parking / terminal access area instead of making you travel to our Chandmari office first.
Arrival pickup
📍 LGBI Airport parking / coordinated terminal-side point
Once your baggage is collected, call or WhatsApp the assigned executive. The exact meeting point may vary slightly depending on traffic movement, airport security arrangements and parking access at that time. Our team will guide you to the vehicle.
Useful: Keep the same mobile number shared during booking active after landing so our delivery executive can reach you quickly.
Starting a Northeast road trip from the airport
Airport pickup is especially convenient if your itinerary continues towards Meghalaya or other Northeast destinations, because you can begin the road journey without first collecting the car from central Guwahati. Your exact route will depend on your destination, road conditions and current traffic.

Approximate Delivery Procedure
From flight details to keys in hand
Airport delivery is coordinated around the pickup time confirmed in your booking. The process is simple, but keeping your flight and phone details updated helps avoid unnecessary waiting.
Vehicle is prepared
The car is checked and prepared before dispatch. It is then moved towards the airport according to your confirmed slot rather than being kept permanently inside airport parking.
Contact us after landing
After baggage collection, call or WhatsApp the assigned executive. We will share the practical meeting point and coordinate the final few minutes of the pickup.
Inspect & begin your trip
Complete the handover, note vehicle condition, fuel and odometer, finish the required formalities and start your Northeast road trip from Guwahati.
✈️
Flight delayed? Your airport pickup can still be coordinated.
Just keep our team updated with the latest flight status.
Delays happen frequently in air travel. We keep the policy simple and transparent for confirmed airport bookings:
✓
No extra Onroadz delay chargeWe do not add a separate delivery or late-arrival charge solely because your incoming flight is delayed.
✓
Handover is re-coordinatedShare your flight number and updated arrival status. Our team will coordinate the executive and vehicle movement based on the revised landing time.
✓
Rental timing follows the confirmed bookingYour rental timing remains according to the pickup time selected and confirmed in your booking, unless a revised timing is specifically agreed with the team.
Airport parking: If parking charges are incurred because the vehicle/executive has to enter or wait in paid airport parking due to the revised arrival time, the applicable parking amount may need to be paid separately. We will keep the handover practical and minimise unnecessary waiting wherever possible.
Choose by Route, Not Hype
You do not automatically need a 4x4 for a Northeast road trip
The right car depends on your itinerary, passenger count, luggage, season and current road condition. Many standard tourist routes in Meghalaya, Assam and Arunachal can be covered comfortably in hatchbacks, crossovers, compact SUVs or regular SUVs when conditions are suitable.
Meghalaya
Popular road trips include Shillong, Cherrapunji, Dawki and Mawlynnong. Compact cars and SUVs are commonly suitable for standard tourist routes, depending on weather and road conditions.
Cars for Meghalaya →Arunachal / Tawang
Routes through Bomdila, Dirang and Tawang are long hill drives. Ground clearance, comfort and luggage space can matter more than simply choosing 4x4 for every itinerary.
Cars for Arunachal →Assam / Kaziranga
For highway-focused Assam trips, choose based on comfort, passenger count and luggage. Our team can help match your booking with a suitable category.
Cars for Assam trips →When 4x4 can help: selected rough or seasonal routes, poor weather, slush, unpaved stretches or genuine off-road use. Before booking purely for 4x4 capability, share your exact route with us and we’ll guide you based on the itinerary.

Airport Rental FAQs
Before you land in Guwahati
Where exactly will I collect the self-drive car at LGBI Airport?
For a confirmed airport pickup, our executive will coordinate a practical meeting point at the airport parking or around the terminal access area. The exact point is shared by call or WhatsApp because airport traffic, parking access and security arrangements can change.
What should I do immediately after landing?
Collect your baggage, switch on the mobile number shared during booking and contact the assigned Onroadz executive. We’ll confirm where to meet and guide you to the vehicle.
Will I be charged extra if my incoming flight is delayed?
No separate Onroadz delay charge is added solely because your incoming flight is delayed. Keep us updated so the handover can be re-coordinated. Your rental timing remains based on the pickup time selected and confirmed in your booking unless a revised timing is specifically agreed. Any airport parking fee actually incurred because of waiting or revised arrival may be payable separately.
Do you keep the rental car waiting at the airport all day?

Can I take the rental car to Arunachal Pradesh?
Yes, subject to your confirmed booking and route. Share your planned itinerary in advance. Travellers are responsible for obtaining permits applicable to their itinerary, and our team can provide practical guidance before the trip.
Is a 4x4 compulsory for Tawang or Meghalaya?
