Minibus with driver for any occasion
A minibus with a driver for a wedding, a corporate event, a trip to the Chundzha hot springs or a day around Almaty.
A minibus with a driver for the city and beyond
AlaGo is passenger transport in Almaty in a Toyota Hiace with a driver, for a specific occasion: a flight, a toi (a Kazakh celebration), a conference or a trip out of town. We drive around the city, Almaty Region and all of Kazakhstan, as well as to Kyrgyzstan and Russia. The cabin seats 13 passengers and has air conditioning, a multimedia system, reclining seats and an electric door. A big group has plenty of room even on a long road.
A 13-seat minibus handles any job: meeting guests at the airport, forming a wedding convoy, taking a team to a conference or driving a family to a lake for the weekend. There’s no need to find a separate carrier for each occasion; we send a Toyota Hiace with a driver on weekdays and holidays alike.
What transport we provide
- Airport transfer: meet and greet with a name sign, help with luggage and a pickup for any flight, 24/7; from the train: Almaty railway station transfer.
- Weddings and celebrations: kudalyk and uzatu (traditional Kazakh wedding ceremonies), the registry office and the guests’ ride home from the banquet hall: a neat arrival, a clean cabin, a smartly dressed driver and waiting between ceremonies.

- Intercity trips: Balkhash, Alakol, Chundzha, Kapchagay, Bishkek and other destinations with no change of vehicle, at a fixed price per trip.

Pickup outside the city, paid parking and extra waiting time are paid separately; on day trips, national park entrance fees and the local off-road vehicle to Kaindy Lake are paid on site.

How many people fit in the minibus?
13 passenger seats. All 13 ride if they travel light; if everyone has a large suitcase or bulky gear, we take up to 9 passengers; tell us what you’re bringing when you book. The price is for the vehicle, so the more of you there are, the less the trip costs each person.
There are more than thirteen of us — what can we do?
A larger group can go in two back-to-back runs if time allows, and if everyone needs to leave at once, you can book a second minibus for your date. Tell us the number of people and the date. We’ll tell you which option suits you better.
Do you work at night and on weekends?
Yes, 24/7, with no days off: early departures, night arrivals, taking guests home late after a toi. We fix the pickup time when you book, the same on weekdays and weekends.

Yes. Intercity trips across Kazakhstan: Astana, Karaganda, Shymkent, Turkestan, Semey, Ust-Kamenogorsk; to Kyrgyzstan: Bishkek, Issyk-Kul, Karakol; to Russia: Omsk, Novosibirsk and further by arrangement. We price by destination; at the border, every passenger needs an ID document.
