Step 1 · Website Checklist

What do you need for a cab & taxi service website?

Your website needs four kinds of content, plus hosting. Open each list and tick what you have ready.

Why should travellers book your cabs?

  • 1. Write a clear headline

    Say where you pick up and where you go, in one line, like “Bagdogra and NJP pickups to Darjeeling, Gangtok and Kalimpong, 24x7”. Put a Book a Cab button beside it.

    Checklist

    See our AI Website Builder

  • 2. Show what makes you different

    Give 3 reasons near the top: drivers who know every hairpin bend to Darjeeling, a name board waiting at arrivals, or a fixed fare agreed before the trip starts.

    Checklist

  • 3. Write your About section

    Say when you started, how many cars you began with and who runs the bookings desk. A traveller landing at night wants to know a real person is behind the number.

    Checklist

  • 4. Show your numbers

    Share counts you can back up: cars in your fleet, years on the hill routes, airport pickups done and trips to Gangtok each season.

    Checklist

  • 5. Use a logo and fleet colours

    A plain, bold logo that reads from across an airport arrivals hall. Use it on car stickers, name boards and fare receipts.

    Checklist

    See our Business Logo Maker

Which rides do you offer?

  • 1. List your routes and fares

    Give each route a fare by car type, like Bagdogra to Darjeeling by sedan or Innova. Say if it is one way or a round trip, and what is extra.

    Checklist

    See our AI Website Editor

  • 2. Show your cars

    Give each car a block with a real photo, seats, bags it takes and whether it has a carrier on the roof. Families with luggage pick the car first.

    Checklist

  • 3. Add sightseeing packages

    List day plans, like Darjeeling local with Tiger Hill at sunrise, or a 3 day Gangtok tour. Name the stops, the hours and the car.

    Checklist

  • 4. Explain how a booking works

    Walk travellers through it, from sending the flight or train number to the driver's name and car number the evening before.

    Checklist

  • 5. Add your payment options

    Take a small advance by UPI for outstation and multi-day trips. Say when the rest is paid and what you refund if plans change.

    Checklist

    See our UPI Payments on Website

How can travellers trust your cabs?

  • 1. Introduce your drivers

    Add each regular driver's first name, years on hill roads and languages, like Nepali, Hindi, Bengali and English. A photo helps travellers spot them at arrivals.

    Checklist

  • 2. Show reviews from travellers

    Add 3 to 5 real reviews that name the trip, like “Waited 2 hours for our late flight, no extra charge”. Use first names, with consent, and link to your Google reviews.

    Checklist

  • 3. Show your permits and papers

    Say that every car has a yellow commercial number plate, a valid tourist permit, a fitness certificate and commercial insurance. Add your GST number if you have one.

    Checklist

  • 4. Explain safety on hill roads

    Say how you keep trips safe, like no night driving on landslide-prone stretches in the monsoon, regular brake checks and a rested driver for every long trip.

    Checklist

  • 5. Answer common questions

    Answer what travellers ask first: “Can your car go to Gangtok or do we change at Rangpo?”, “Is Tiger Hill included?”, “Do you wait if our flight is late?”. Clear answers also help Google and AI assistants describe you.

    Checklist

    See our Automatic Website SEO

How can travellers reach you?

  • 1. Add a ride booking form

    A Book a Cab button on every page. Ask for the pickup point, drop, date, time, flight or train number, number of people and bags.

    Checklist

    See our Leads, Orders & Appointments

  • 2. Add phone, WhatsApp and email

    Show your phone and WhatsApp at the top of every page, with a tap-to-call button. Travellers stuck at a station call, they rarely fill a form.

    Checklist

  • 3. Clearly show your location

    Add your stand or office on Sevoke Road, a landmark and a Google Map, so walk-in travellers and hotel staff can find you.

    Checklist

  • 4. Add your booking hours

    Say if your desk answers 24x7 or only for pre-booked night pickups. Show the first and last pickup times at Bagdogra airport.

    Checklist

  • 5. Add your social media links

    Link your Instagram, Facebook and YouTube in the menu or the footer. Travellers like to see the road before they book.

    Checklist

  • 6. Offer your website in local languages

    Show your routes, fares and car details in Bengali, Hindi and Nepali, so families from Kolkata and other states read what the fare covers.

    Checklist

    See our Multi-language Website

How to host and maintain your website?

  • 1. Choose a domain name

    This is your website address, like himalayanwheels.in. Use your service name, and add “cabs” or “Siliguri” if the name is taken.

    Checklist

    See our Domain Name Generator

  • 2. Put your website on hosting

    Hosting keeps your website online, so a family can book a 5 am airport drop from Kolkata at midnight.

    Checklist

    See our Website Hosting & SSL

  • 3. Turn on SSL

    SSL puts a lock next to your web address and keeps pickup addresses, flight numbers and phone numbers safe when travellers send them.

    Checklist

    See our Website Hosting & SSL

  • 4. Make your website open fast (CDN)

    A CDN keeps copies of your website in many cities, so it opens fast on a weak signal in an airport queue or on a hill road.

    Checklist

    See our Website Hosting & SSL

  • 5. Keep backups of your website

    A backup is a saved copy of your website, made every day, so your routes, fares and car pages are never lost.

    Checklist

    See our Website Hosting & SSL

  • 6. Keep your website up to date

    Change fares when fuel prices move, add a new Innova, and post road closures in the monsoon. Pick a website you can edit from your phone.

    Best campaign for a taxi service

    Campaign
    Search, shown in Siliguri and the cities travellers come from
    Where?
    At the top of Google search results, marked “Sponsored”, when someone searches for a taxi from Bagdogra, NJP or Siliguri to the hills.
    Who?
    People in Kolkata, Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Guwahati who search for hill trips, and people in Siliguri searching for a cab now. Set this under Locations, and under Location options choose “Presence or interest”, so people planning a trip from far away see it.
    Targeting tips
    • Locations: Siliguri, plus 4–5 cities your travellers fly or ride in from
    • Keywords: “Bagdogra airport taxi”, “NJP to Darjeeling cab”, “Siliguri to Gangtok taxi”, “Darjeeling sightseeing car”
    • Negative keywords: driver job, self drive, bike rental, bus ticket, train ticket, toy train
    • Ad schedule: run it all day, as travellers book late at night after fixing flights
    • Budget: ₹300–₹1,000 a day, more from March and September. Give it 2 weeks before changing anything
    • Ad text: name your routes and car types. No “cheapest taxi in Siliguri” claims
    Why?
    A traveller searching for a Bagdogra taxi has a flight booked and needs a car. A Search ad reaches them at that moment.

    Checklist

  • 2. Run Instagram and Facebook adsOne timeOngoing

    Meta ads show the hill roads and your cars to families while they plan a holiday on Instagram and Facebook.

    Best campaign for a taxi service

    Targeting tips

    • Message: a ready first line, like “Fare for a 3 day Darjeeling trip?”
    • Placements: leave on automatic
    • Budget: ₹200–₹600 a day, 6 weeks before summer and the Puja holidays
    • Ad: a reel of the road to Darjeeling, with the fare per car

Step 5 · Online Rules

Online rules to know

A taxi service holds travellers' phone numbers and pickup addresses, and drives on routes that need permits. Follow these rules on your website and on every trip.Reviewed November 2026. We check these every year. This is a guide, not legal advice.

  • Get consent for pickup and ID details

    All businesses

    Tell travellers why you ask for their phone, pickup address, flight number and any ID copies needed for area permits in Sikkim, and get their consent. Share them only with the driver or permit office that needs them, and delete them after the trip.

    Rule: Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023

  • Show the full fare, not a teaser

    All businesses

    Say what a fare includes, like tolls, parking, driver allowance, night charges and waiting time, and whether it is one way or return. Show photos of your own cars, and never claim to be “Siliguri's No. 1 taxi”.

    Rule: Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and CCPA Guidelines on Misleading Advertisements, 2022

  • Run only commercial cars with valid papers

    Cab & Taxi Service

    Every car that carries paying travellers must be registered as a transport vehicle, with a yellow number plate, a permit from the transport authority, a fitness certificate and commercial insurance. Private white-plate cars cannot be hired out.

    Rule: Motor Vehicles Act, 1988

  • Get a tourist permit for trips across states

    Cab & Taxi Service

    A taxi that takes tourists out of West Bengal needs a permit that covers the trip, such as the All India Tourist Permit, applied for online on Parivahan. Sikkim also checks outside taxis at its border, so confirm its entry rules before you sell a Gangtok trip.

    Rule: All India Tourist Vehicles (Permit) Rules, 2023

FAQs

Cab & taxi service website FAQs

Which permit do my cabs need for trips from Siliguri into Sikkim?

A taxi that takes tourists out of West Bengal needs a permit that covers the trip, such as the All India Tourist Permit, applied for online on Parivahan under the All India Tourist Vehicles (Permit) Rules, 2023. Sikkim also checks outside taxis at its border. Confirm its entry rules before you sell a Gangtok trip, and say on your website if travellers change cars at Rangpo.

What should my fare page say about tolls, parking and night charges?

Say what each fare includes, like tolls, parking, driver allowance, night charges and waiting time, and whether it is one way or return. Show photos of your own cars and avoid claims like “Siliguri's No. 1 taxi”. The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and CCPA Guidelines on Misleading Advertisements, 2022 cover this.

How do I show up when travellers search "Bagdogra airport taxi"?

Give airport pickups their own page with fares by car type, and put your road and city in your website title. Set up your Google Business Profile with “Taxi service” as the main category. A Google Search ad for “Bagdogra airport taxi” also reaches travellers who have just booked a flight.

When do Darjeeling and Gangtok cab bookings peak?

April to June brings families from the plains, so post your package fares by March. Cars sell out again in October for the Puja holidays and in late December, so take advances early and say which dates are full. In the monsoon, push Dooars day trips and say when the parks close.

Can my booking form ask travellers for ID copies?

Only when a trip needs them, such as an area permit in Sikkim, and only with the traveller's consent. Say why you need them, share them only with the permit office or driver, and delete them after the trip. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 covers this.

Which listings should a taxi service be on besides Google?

List on Justdial, Sulekha, Tripadvisor, Apple Business Connect and Bing Places. Use the same name, address and phone everywhere, and link back to your website. Hotels and homestays in Darjeeling and Gangtok also send bookings, so share your link with them.
