We are a taxi stand in Jalandhar district — not a booking portal.
Waheguru Taxi Service runs from Malsian in Shahkot, between Jalandhar and Nakodar. Our own cars, our own drivers, and one number that answers.
Get a fare for your route
Send your pickup and drop — we reply with the full fare, car type and pickup time.
No advance · 24×7 · Pay after the trip
Four promises, and they are the whole business
None of these are clever. They are simply the things that go wrong most often when people book a taxi, and we decided not to do them.
The fare is fixed before you travel
You get one number in writing on WhatsApp before the car moves, and that is the number you pay. Toll, state tax and parking are billed at actual against the receipt — we do not round them up.
No advance
Nothing is taken to “confirm” a booking. You pay after the trip, in cash or by UPI. The only exception is a small advance on multi-day holiday packages, where a car is blocked for days.
One driver for the whole trip
On round trips and multi-day journeys the driver does not change. You explain the plan once. The evening before, you get his name and the car number.
Your booking is never passed on
It is our car and our driver, every time. There is no third party in between, which is why the number you message is the number that answers on the day.
Waheguru Taxi ServiceMalsian, in Shahkot — and that is not a detail
The base sits between Jalandhar and Nakodar, on the road towards Moga. It means pickups in this belt reach you faster, and it means the person answering the phone knows the road you are asking about — which junction is dug up, how long the Nakodar run really takes on a mela day.
You can be picked up anywhere: Jalandhar, Nakodar, Shahkot, Sultanpur Lodhi and Moga.
Everything is booked through the same number
Illustrative images note: the hero background and the portrait above are AI-generated stand-ins. The loaded Innova further down is a real photograph of the business. Replace the two stand-ins with the owner’s own photos before launch.
Build note: this page should carry the owner’s own words — when the stand started, who drives, how many cars. Those facts have not been confirmed yet, so nothing has been invented here. Add them before launch.
This is the car, loaded for a run — not a picture from a brochure
Four suitcases on the carrier and the boot still usable underneath. That is what a family of six with real luggage actually needs on a seven hour drive to Delhi, and it is the reason we ask for your bag count before we suggest a car.
Tell us how many people and how many bags. We will tell you honestly whether a Dzire will do, or whether you want the Innova.
Our own Innova · PB 01C 6230Our own area — Jalandhar district, and the tehsils around Malsian
We are not a Punjab-wide brand with a franchise in every city. We are a taxi stand in one district, and this is honestly how far that reaches. Each of these towns has its own page with its local routes on it.
Being from one district instead of everywhere is the point, not a limitation. A driver who grew up on the Nakodar road knows which lane floods after rain, which turning has no name board, and whose house the family means when they say “behind the gurdwara”. An aggregator’s driver sent up from Ludhiana knows none of that, which is why those bookings get cancelled at the last minute in villages.
Four cars, and the one you are quoted is the one that comes
No bait-and-switch. If we quote you an Innova and an Innova is not free that day, we tell you before you agree — we do not send a Dzire and argue about it at the door.
The Innova in that photo is the owner’s own car, loaded for an actual run, registration and all. It is not a picture from a brochure or a stock library. That is deliberate: if a taxi website will not show you its real car, ask yourself why.
Half our work is somebody’s family in Canada, the UK, Italy or Australia booking for people at home
Nothing about the way we work was designed for NRI families. It just turns out that a local stand with a fixed quote and no advance is exactly what somebody eight thousand miles away needs.
You are trusting a stranger with your parents. That is the actual transaction, and we treat it that way. Give us your number as well as theirs. The driver rings you when he has picked them up and again when they are inside the terminal or at the door. If your mother is travelling alone, say so when you book.
No advance means you are risking nothing. Not a rupee moves until the trip is finished. There is no card to enter, no deposit, no UPI to a stranger before a car has turned a wheel. This is the single most common way people get cheated booking from abroad, and we simply removed it.
One fixed quote, agreed before you travel. Not a per-kilometre meter that grows, not a toll surprise, not a night charge added at four in the morning. One figure, in writing on WhatsApp, and that is the figure paid.
The same number, for years. Not a new driver from an app each visit. Families who used us for one airport run three years ago message the same thread when they land again. Jab bhi kaho, aa jayega — and that only means something if the number still works, which is why it has not changed.
We know the village addresses. Malsian, Shahkot tehsil, Jalandhar district. Not a call centre in another city. “Behind the gurdwara, ask for Balbir Singh’s house” is an address our driver can find at five in the morning.
Who we are, where we are, and when we answer
Everything a person reasonably wants to check before handing over a family member for a six hour drive.

About the business
Are you an app or a taxi stand?
A taxi stand. There is no app and no booking desk in between. You send a WhatsApp message or make a call, and a person answers — one of the people who own the cars.
Where are you based?
At Malsian in Shahkot, inside Jalandhar district, between Jalandhar city and Nakodar. We pick up across the district; you do not come to us.
Is my booking handed to another operator?
No. It is our car and our driver every time. That is the main difference between us and the portals that appear alongside us in search results.
Which areas do you cover?
Jalandhar, Nakodar, Shahkot and Malsian, Sultanpur Lodhi and Moga directly, plus the villages around them. Outstation trips run across Punjab and to Delhi, the hills and Katra.
What are your working hours?
24×7. Airport runs between 3 and 5 AM are our most common booking, and there is no night charge in the quote.
How do I know the fare will not change?
Because you have it in writing before the car moves. Ask on WhatsApp rather than by phone and you keep the quote on your own screen.
What makes you different from the other taxi services in Jalandhar?
Three things, and they are checkable rather than slogans. We are one stand in one district, so the driver who comes is from your belt and knows village addresses. You get one fixed quote before you commit, not a meter. And you pay nothing in advance — not for an airport run, not for a week in the hills. Most of the operators competing with us do at least one of those differently.
Are you a 24 hours taxi service in Jalandhar?
Yes, genuinely, not as a line on a website. A large share of our work is airport runs leaving between midnight and four in the morning, and the number you booked on is the number that answers at that hour.
What is your address and contact number?
Waheguru Taxi Service, Malsian, Shahkot tehsil, Jalandhar district, Punjab. Phone and WhatsApp on 98143 11886 — one number for everything, and it does not change.
Do you own your cars or are they arranged from somewhere?
The Innova pictured on this page is the owner’s own car, photographed loaded for a real run. The rest of the fleet is ours or belongs to drivers we have worked with for years and can answer for personally. Your booking is not sold on to whoever bids lowest.
Do you have a licence and are the drivers experienced?
The cars are commercially registered and the drivers hold commercial licences. More to the point, they are men from Shahkot and Nakodar who have driven the Delhi, Katra and Himachal roads for years — not app drivers doing an unfamiliar route for the first time.
Can I meet you or see the car before booking?
Yes. We are at Malsian and people from the surrounding villages simply come and ask. If you are booking a wedding or a long holiday and want to see the car first, say so and we will bring it round.
Do you charge more at night or on mela days?
The quote you are given already includes night hours. On big mela and Gurpurab days — Baba Sodal, the Sultanpur Lodhi Gurpurab, Maghi — the roads are slow and cars get booked out early, so book ahead. What we do not do is quote you one figure and revise it because the day turned out busy.
Why do you not publish a rate list?
Because a printed rate is either too high for a short run or too low for a long one, and the operators who print them usually make the difference back somewhere else. You get one fixed quote for your actual trip, before you commit, and that is what you pay.
Can I book for my parents from abroad?
Yes, and that is a large part of what we do. Send the trip on WhatsApp from Canada, the UK, Italy, Australia or anywhere else. No advance is asked for, and the driver will keep you informed at both ends.
Who is the best taxi service in Jalandhar?
Nobody honest can answer that about themselves, so here is what to check instead, whoever you ring. Do they give you one fixed figure in writing before you commit, or a per-kilometre estimate? Do they ask for an advance? Will the person who picks up on the day be the person you booked with? Can they find a village address without a pin drop? We built Waheguru Taxi Service to answer yes, no, yes and yes — and if another stand near you answers the same way, use them.
98143 11886 — the same number, every time
No advance. The rate is agreed before you travel. You pay after the trip.
