Who AlaGo are
AlaGo is passenger transport in Almaty in a Toyota Hiace minibus with 13 seats and a driver. The driver meets your guests, drives the vehicle and is responsible for the trip, from pickup at your door to the drive back late in the evening. The whole cabin is for your group alone.
We drive people to weddings and corporate events, meet flights at the airport, and head into the mountains and on long routes across Kazakhstan. The full list of what we do is on our services page.
A driver you can call: what it gives you
When you book a minibus, you trust the driver with your family, your wedding guests or your colleagues. That is why you talk to the driver directly, without a dispatcher: changing a stop, the departure time or the route takes one call.
AlaGo’s drivers know from experience the roads of Almaty, the region and long-distance routes: mountain switchbacks, overnight drives, the highway to Astana and Shymkent.
