The honest comparison
Is a car worth it for Mandarmani?
There's no train to Mandarmani — the nearest station is Contai, then 30 km of autos with your luggage. That missing railway line is why the beach stays peaceful, and why a car is simply how you go: resort-door drop on the beach road, and no hunting for transport on that dark, unlit stretch at night.
There isn't one.

Highway drop only.
Chaulkhola stop; the 15 km beach road after that is your problem — and it's unlit at night.

The in-between legs — home → station, station → hotel, and back — simply don't exist. Local roaming just adds kilometres at your rate, and the car stays yours after you reach.
