Taking elders and children to Rajkot from Somnath

A calmer family cab plan from Somnath to Rajkot: seats, stops, and what to tell Madhuli Taxi before pickup.

Families do not fail the Rajkot trip on the highway. They fail it in the last lane, with an elder who needed the car closer and a child who needed a stop an hour earlier. Rajkot Hirasar is the usual airport for a Somnath trip. The city itself is a hub, not a temple town.

Ask for the Ertiga when five or six of you are travelling. Put the person who gets carsick in the front, and say so in the note. Late landings still reach Somnath, but they will miss the evening aarti.

Most airport runs are a direct transfer. A city halt belongs in the first message.

The Somnath driver can wait between gates. That is the point of a local desk. Send the hotel name and a mobile that someone in the car will actually answer.
