Pickup procedure & driver waiting policy
- Flight tracking: We monitor the flight and update the driver’s ETD.
- Arrival signboard: The driver meets you at the arrivals exit with a placard (name/TripCosmos.co) when requested.
- Waiting window: Standard complimentary waiting time is included (usually 30–45 minutes) to account for immigration and luggage. Extended waiting may be chargeable — we’ll tell you at booking.
- Luggage & hotel help: Drivers assist with luggage and can guide you to early check-in options if your hotel supports it.
If your flight is delayed, send a quick WhatsApp to our dispatch and we’ll adjust the pickup accordingly. For very late-night arrivals we ensure the driver is briefed about safe, well-lit pick-up areas.
Arrival tips for Godowlia & old city access
- Hotel selection: Choose hotels that list Godowlia or Godaulia as landmarks; this avoids extra navigation time inside narrow lanes.
- Gate/drop preference: Many hotels prefer a nearby main-road drop with porter service to handle last stretches into lane-accessed properties. Tell the driver if you want to be dropped right at the hotel gate or at the main road.
- Luggage & local rickshaw: Some heritage hotels are down narrow alleys—drivers can park and help arrange a small rickshaw/cart for the final short stretch if needed.
- Ghats & aarti: If you plan to head to Dashashwamedh Ghat or Assi Ghat immediately, inform dispatch so the driver can guide to nearest parking and avoid closure timings during aarti.
- Cash & payments: Most drivers accept UPI/online payments; keep small change for local tips or quick purchases.
