The engagement

Who books a private chauffeur in Kolkata

Kolkata's private-chauffeur clients are here for a reason that lasts: an executive posted to the technology belt of Salt Lake Sector V or the new offices of Rajarhat, living in Ballygunge or Alipore; a family returning for the Durga Puja fortnight in the autumn and a month of relatives; a patient and a companion at one of the hospitals on the EM Bypass for a course of treatment; a visiting academic or a foundation head with a term at the university and the institutes; a film or television production with talent on a schedule at the studios. Each wants the same chauffeur and the same car every day, so that Kolkata's lanes and hours are learned once.

The engagement is priced by the day on the international card: an executive sedan is $1,400 for eight hours and eighty kilometres, or $1,700 for a ten-hour, 300 km charter day that also covers an outstation night; a week is billed as 5.5 charter days with 1,800 km pooled, and a month as 20 charter days with 6,000 km pooled, a dedicated chauffeur and a relief chauffeur for the days off. The luxury SUV, the premium MPV and the S-Class scale from the same structure on the rates page. The vehicle is chosen once: an E-Class for a working routine, an Innova Hycross for a family, a Fortuner for the road to Santiniketan or the Sundarbans launch point, and the S-Class, which has its own Kolkata page, for a principal.

The routine

A private chauffeur's Kolkata week

Kolkata's roads reward a chauffeur who knows their hours and their one-way rules. This is what a private week tends to look like.

Monday Ballygunge to Salt Lake Sector V at 8:30 by the EM Bypass, the car waiting in the office park's visitor bay through the morning.
Tuesday A morning at a hospital on the Bypass, the chauffeur at the door for the consultation's end, lunch on Park Street, the school gate at three.
Wednesday A colleague to collect at the airport at 11 pm; the chauffeur meets the flight with the name board, ten kilometres down VIP Road, and is back at 8 for the office run.
Thursday Dalhousie for the banks in the morning before the one-way switch, a dinner in Alipore, the car parked where the valet cannot reach it.
Friday The chauffeur's day off on a monthly engagement: the relief chauffeur, briefed from the same file, takes the same car, serviced on Thursday night.
Weekend Dakshineswar and the Hooghly at dawn, Santiniketan for the day, or nothing at all, because the daily rate is charged only for the days booked.

Durga Puja

A private chauffeur for the Puja fortnight

Durga Puja in September or October is the engagement Kolkata books most, and the hardest to run well. For ten days the city closes roads around the great pandals, the crowds move through the night, the traffic police redraw the map daily, and a family home for the festival wants to see the pandals of north and south Kolkata, visit relatives across the city and reach a dinner on Park Street without spending the evening in a queue of cars. A dedicated chauffeur who has driven the Puja for years knows the police diversions, the pandal lanes that admit a car and the hours when the south is passable, and the desk briefs the household each evening from the day's traffic orders. The luxury classes and the MPVs are committed weeks ahead for the fortnight, and the events page covers the closures in detail.

The chauffeur

How the desk chooses a chauffeur for a Kolkata household

A private engagement is assigned by fit. The chauffeur holds a commercial licence and a West Bengal transport badge, a police verification certificate and a background check, as every RUTZ.IN chauffeur does; beyond that the coordinator matches the person to the household: one with hospital experience for a medical stay, one who knows the Puja diversions for a festival fortnight, one who is comfortable with children for a family, one who speaks Bengali and Hindi as well as English. The client sees the chauffeur's name, photograph and licence number before day one and can ask for a change without a reason. The briefing file carries the addresses, the routes, the preferences and any confidentiality terms; each evening the chauffeur confirms the next morning's pickup and each week the desk sends a statement of days, hours and kilometres against the pool. The national private chauffeur page describes the arrangement across India.

Seasons

When to book a private chauffeur in Kolkata

Demand follows the calendar absolutely: the Puja fortnight in September or October takes every car in the city weeks ahead; the Book Fair in January and February, the Film Festival in November and December and the Dover Lane music conference in January bring their own visitors; the wedding season from November to February takes the luxury classes. The monsoon from June to September floods the low streets of the north and the Bypass, and a dedicated chauffeur knows which. The winter from November to February is the pleasant season and the busiest; the summer is hot, quiet and the easiest time to start an engagement. For the Puja, book a month ahead; for a month at another time, two weeks; for a week, a few days. The charter builder prices any length of engagement live.

Booking

How to book, and what it costs

A single day is booked and paid on the booking page as a day package in the class you choose. A week, a month or a Puja fortnight is quoted in writing from the charter builder or the contact page, with the chauffeur proposed, the registration and the deposit terms. Corporate accounts book a private engagement for a visiting or relocating executive against the account and receive it on the monthly statement with GST shown; the corporate accounts page explains the account. Cancellation is free more than 72 hours before the first day, then stepped inside 72, 48 and 24 hours; on monthly engagements a day that is not needed is released the evening before without charge. The highway tolls to Santiniketan and Bishnupur are at cost.

Questions

Private chauffeur service in Kolkata: frequently asked

Can the chauffeur handle the Durga Puja closures?

Yes; the Puja fortnight is the engagement Kolkata books most, and the chauffeurs assigned to it have driven it for years. The desk briefs the household each evening from the traffic orders, and the household sees the pandals it wants without the queues.

What happens on the chauffeur's day off?

On engagements over six days a relief chauffeur is rostered, briefed from the same file, and takes the same car, serviced the night before.

Is the car kept at our house overnight?

On monthly engagements, yes, where there is secure parking; the chauffeur reports at the agreed hour. Otherwise it returns to the RUTZ.IN base overnight.

Can we take the chauffeur to Santiniketan or the Sundarbans?

Yes. An outstation day is billed as a charter day of ten hours and 300 km with the chauffeur's lodging inside the rate for an overnight and the tolls at cost; Santiniketan is about 160 km and the Sundarbans launch point at Godkhali about 100 km.

Which vehicle do most Kolkata households choose?

An executive sedan for a working routine, an Innova Hycross for a family and the Puja fortnight, a Fortuner for the district roads, and the S-Class for a principal; the desk suggests one from the brief.

How is a month billed?

As twenty charter days with a 6,000 km pool, a dedicated chauffeur and a relief chauffeur, invoiced once with GST shown and tolls and parking itemised at cost. Unused days are not charged.
