This is a trip with a deadline, so the two things that matter most come first.
The drive is 158 km. In clear conditions it takes three hours. In Mumbai's evening traffic it can take four and a half.
Our recommendation:
That feels like a lot. It accounts for a three to four and a half hour drive, plus the two to three hours the airport itself wants before an international departure. People who leave four hours before a flight are gambling on the traffic, and it does not always pay.
If your flight is early morning, you are in luck — a 3 AM departure from Pune reaches the airport in under three hours with clear roads.
Tell us your terminal when booking. They are 4 km apart with separate approaches, and arriving at the wrong one costs you 20 minutes you may not have.
If you are not sure, check your ticket or tell us your flight number and we will confirm. Airlines do move between terminals, so a booking made weeks earlier is worth re-checking a day before you fly.
Fixed one-way fares from ₹2,568, with 158 km included. Fuel and driver are in the price. Toll, parking and airport entry are charged at actual cost and shown separately.
There is no return charge on a one-way drop — you pay for the direction you travel.
Pune → Lonavala → Khopoli → Panvel → Mumbai Airport
The expressway is predictable. The last 40 km is not, and that is where the whole risk of this trip sits.
Friday and Sunday evenings are the slowest of the week in this direction.
This is where people get caught out at the kerb, so be honest about your bags.
Four people flying international with checked bags do not fit in a sedan. Book the Ertiga.
Door to door — Hinjewadi, Wakad, Baner, Balewadi, Kharadi, Viman Nagar, Magarpatta, Hadapsar, Camp, Koregaon Park, Kothrud, Deccan, Pimpri, Chinchwad and Nigdi.
Fares vary slightly by pickup point since the distance changes. Pickups from Pimpri-Chinchwad are marginally shorter than from Hadapsar.
Flying back into Mumbai? Book Mumbai Airport to Pune separately. That booking includes flight tracking, 45 minutes free waiting after landing, and a driver at the arrival gate with your name.
Landing at Navi Mumbai instead? See Navi Mumbai airport cab.
This is our highest-volume corporate route. Monthly billing, GST invoices with trip-level detail, and a named contact for escalations. For a visiting client, an Innova Crysta is the accepted standard. See corporate taxi service.
Call +91-8466847272 or use the search box above. Share your flight number and terminal — it takes ten seconds and removes the two things that go wrong on this route.
Book the night before for early-morning flights. The driver reaches ten minutes early, and you are not standing outside at 3 AM hoping.
Toll, parking and airport entry are not included. They are charged at actual cost and shown separately on your bill. The expressway toll is significant on this route.
While you are there
Questions
Six hours before a domestic flight and seven before an international one. The drive takes three to four and a half hours depending on traffic, and the airport wants two to three hours before an international departure.
Yes. Tell us your terminal when booking, since they are 4 km apart with separate approaches. If you are unsure, share your flight number and we will confirm.
A one-way drop starts at Rs 2,568 for a Wagon R, Rs 2,580 for a Swift Dzire or Aura, Rs 3,549 for an Ertiga and Rs 5,359 for an Innova Crysta. All include 158 km, fuel and driver.
Under three hours before 6 AM or after 10 PM, around 3.5 hours in the middle of the day, and four to four and a half hours in the evening peak. The expressway is predictable; the last 40 km into Mumbai is not.
No. Fuel and driver are included in the quoted fare. Toll, parking and airport entry are charged at actual cost and shown separately on your bill.
A sedan at minimum for two passengers with two large suitcases. A Wagon R takes cabin bags only. For a family of five flying with checked bags, book an Ertiga.
Yes, and early morning is the best slot on this route. Book the night before, and the driver reaches ten minutes early rather than on the dot.
Yes, door to door across Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. Fares vary slightly by pickup point since the distance changes.
Yes, though it is a separate booking. The return includes flight tracking, 45 minutes free waiting after landing and a driver at the arrival gate with your name.
Between 4 PM and 9 PM, and particularly Friday and Sunday evenings. Allow an extra hour if you cannot avoid it.
