A private car can follow the Jashore–Khulna section of the N7 corridor.
The old article gave a fixed taxi cost of BDT 2,000–3,000 and a fixed 55-minute travel time. Those figures are not retained because rental prices and road travel times are variable and were not verified from a current primary source.
Before hiring a vehicle, agree on:

- pickup point;
- Khulna drop-off point;
- whether tolls or parking are included;
- whether the trip is one-way or round-trip.
