Pune to Mumbai is the reverse of India's busiest expressway corridor, and the direction where timing matters more. The 95 km expressway section from Chandani Chowk to Kalamboli is quick at any hour; the last 30 to 50 km inside Mumbai are what decide whether the trip is three hours or five. A fixed one-way fare with a chauffeur who does this run daily removes the guesswork, and the price on this page is the price you pay plus tolls.
Route description
Pickup anywhere in Pune — Hinjawadi, Baner and Wakad join the expressway at Chandani Chowk; Koregaon Park, Viman Nagar and Kharadi add 30 to 45 minutes across the city first. The expressway climbs through the Lonavala ghat, drops past the Khalapur food plaza and ends at Kalamboli in Navi Mumbai. From there the route splits: Sion–Panvel Highway and the Eastern Freeway for South Mumbai and BKC; the Thane–Belapur road or the new Atal Setu for Navi Mumbai, Andheri and the airport. Airport drops go to Terminal 2 at Sahar or Terminal 1 at Santacruz; tell us the terminal when booking.

How early should I leave Pune for a flight from Mumbai airport?
For a domestic flight, leave Pune at least five and a half hours before departure on a weekday and six and a half on a Sunday evening; for international, add an hour. The expressway is predictable; Mumbai's last stretch is not. Our chauffeurs know the Atal Setu and Eastern Freeway options and pick the faster one on the day.
Is the fare the same to Navi Mumbai, Andheri and South Mumbai?
The published fare covers a drop anywhere within Mumbai city limits, including Navi Mumbai, the airport and South Mumbai. Drops beyond city limits, or a second stop, are quoted separately.
Can the cab wait while I finish a meeting and bring me back?
Not on the one-way fare, which is for a single drop. For a same-day return we quote a round trip on the outstation structure instead; ask on WhatsApp with your timings.
Does the fare include the expressway toll?
No. Tolls and parking are charged at actuals on top of the fare and itemised on the invoice. The expressway toll is roughly ₹320 to ₹420 one way for a car.

Outstation trips are billed per kilometer with a minimum of 300 KMs per calendar day. The per-km rate depends on your vehicle type and city of pickup. Driver allowance is charged per day. Toll, parking, interstate taxes, and GST at 5% are added at actuals. Contact us for an exact quote for your dates.

The base fare covers vehicle hire (per-km rate × total kilometers) and driver allowance. Toll charges, parking fees, interstate permit taxes, and GST at 5% are charged at actuals and itemized on your invoice.

Calendar days — Day 1 starts when the vehicle departs from our garage. Each calendar day carries a minimum of 300 KMs. For example, a 3-day trip has a minimum billing of 900 KMs regardless of actual distance covered.
What is driver allowance and night halt?
Driver allowance is a daily charge covering the driver's meals and incidentals during outstation duty. Night halt is an additional charge when the vehicle is retained overnight. Both vary by city — contact us for specifics.
