Limo service in Kolkata: luxury sedans every day, vintage and stretch cars for the winter wedding

Everyday limo

The limousine classes Kolkata books every day

The everyday limo in Kolkata is the luxury sedan, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW 7 Series, with a senior chauffeur: the car the Oberoi Grand or the Taj Bengal sends to Dum Dum, the car a tea or steel chairman takes to Dalhousie, the car a film-festival guest takes to Nandan. It is joined by the Mercedes-Benz GLS for a family with luggage or the road to Santiniketan, the V-Class for six who want to travel together, and the executive sedan for the working end of the same standard. All are priced from the published cards: the S-Class is $2,600 for the airport transfer with an hour of waiting, $300 an hour with a four-hour minimum, $2,200 for the eight-hour day and $2,700 for the charter day; the international card bills $350, $300 an hour, $2,200 and $2,700.

The bookings are the Dum Dum arrival by the Bypass to Park Street or Alipore, the evening by the hour for dinner on Park Street and a club, the day for a principal's meetings between Dalhousie and Sector V, the talent car for a Tollygunge shoot, and the highway to Santiniketan in the rear cabin. The Kolkata S-Class page and the Kolkata luxury chauffeur page go into the class and the chauffeurs.

The event day

How the desk runs a Kolkata occasion car

A wedding car or a premiere car is a piece of choreography, and the desk plans it with the family, the publicist or the planner in the weeks before.

Kolkata limousine bookings cluster around the wedding season and the Puja fortnight, and both need the same thing: a chauffeur who can reach an address the shortest way is closed. The desk plans the approach the evening before from the day's traffic orders, holds a standby car where an entrance cannot be late, and prices the engagement per event with the dressing itemised. Outside those weeks the same classes do airport arrivals from the Bypass and evenings across the Maidan.

• The brief The vehicle, the venue, the timings for the arrival and the departure, the photographer's or the publicist's wishes and any decoration, taken by the coordinator in one conversation.
• The quote The car, the hours, the decoration allowance of $200 to $1,000, any second vehicle or escort, and the deposit, in writing, with the deposit following the published cancellation schedule.
• The site check The club gate, the hotel porte-cochere and the one-way approach at that hour, checked before the day, because a stretch does not fit every Kolkata lane and a vintage car does not like a long wait in traffic.
• The day The chauffeur arrives early in a dark suit, the car is staged where the camera wants it, the timing is held, the coordinator is on the phone throughout and a standby vehicle is held.
• The departure The car waits as long as the function runs, and the guest fleet follows the run sheet the planner agreed.
