Travelling to or from Pune Airport with a group needs more planning than a normal cab booking. Families carry extra luggage, corporate teams arrive together, and large groups need vehicles that can accommodate everyone without splitting into too many cabs.
A well-planned Pune Airport group transfer saves time, reduces confusion and keeps everyone together. Shelke Travels provides airport pickups and drops for families, corporate teams, wedding groups, NRIs and outstation travellers with cars, tempo travellers, Force Urbania and buses.

What Is a Pune Airport Group Transfer?
A Pune Airport group transfer is a pre-booked vehicle service between Pune Airport, also known as Lohegaon Airport, and a hotel, home, office, event venue or another city. It is designed for groups who want to travel together in one vehicle instead of booking several separate cabs.
You can book it for:
- Airport pickup after landing
- Airport drop before departure
- Hotel-to-airport transfer
- Office-to-airport transfer
- Airport-to-Mumbai or outstation travel
- Round-trip airport transfer
For a pickup, the driver tracks the flight, meets the group after landing and helps with luggage. For a drop, the vehicle reaches the pickup point on time and ensures the group reaches the airport before check-in.
Who Needs a Group Airport Transfer?
Group airport transfers are useful for more than just large families. They are commonly booked by:
- Families returning from a holiday
- Corporate teams attending meetings, conferences or offsites
- Business guests arriving for client visits
- Wedding families and wedding guests
- College or school groups
- Pilgrimage groups travelling to Shirdi, Nashik or other destinations
- NRIs arriving with family and multiple suitcases
- Event teams attending exhibitions or seminars in Pune
For corporate teams, one pre-booked vehicle is often more professional and cost-effective than arranging separate app cabs for every employee.
Best Vehicles for Pune Airport Group Transfer
The right vehicle depends on passenger count, luggage, comfort requirement and destination.
| Vehicle | Best For | Passengers | Luggage Capacity | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swift Dzire | Solo traveller, couple, small family | 4 | 2–3 bags | Budget airport transfer |
| Toyota Etios | Small family or business traveller | 4 | 2–3 bags | Comfortable sedan transfer |
| Maruti Ertiga CNG | Small family with luggage | 6 | 3–4 bags | Family airport pickup |
| Toyota Rumion CNG | Family or small group | 6 | 3–4 bags | Airport-to-hotel transfer |
| Toyota Innova Crysta | Senior citizens, VIPs, corporate guests | 6–7 | 4–5 bags | Premium comfort transfer |
| Toyota Innova Hycross | Corporate executives, VIP guests | 6–7 | 4–5 bags | Luxury business transfer |
| 10-Seater Car | Medium family or small team | 8–10 | 5–6 bags | Group travel in one vehicle |
| Tempo Traveller | Families, corporate teams, wedding groups | 9–20 | 6–12 bags | Best all-round group transfer |
| Force Urbania | Premium corporate and family group travel | 13–17 | 8–10 bags | Comfortable premium transfer |
| 32-Seater Bus | Large corporate or event group | 30–32 | Large luggage space | Team and event transfers |
| 50-Seater Bus | Very large groups | 45–50 | Large luggage space | Bulk airport shuttle |
Shelke Travels offers cars from Swift Dzire to Innova Hycross, along with Force Urbania, 32-seater and 50-seater buses for group travel.
Best Vehicle for Families
For families, comfort, luggage space and safety matter more than just seat count. A family of four with two large suitcases may not fit comfortably in a small sedan, especially after an international flight.
Best Options
- Swift Dzire or Toyota Etios: Ideal for 2–4 passengers with light luggage.
- Ertiga or Rumion: Best for 4–6 passengers with 3–4 bags.
- Innova Crysta: Recommended for families with senior citizens, children or extra luggage.
- Innova Hycross: Best for families who want a premium and spacious ride.
- Tempo Traveller: Suitable for joint families or groups of 8–15 people.
Shelke Travels’ airport cab rates start from ₹13 per km for Swift Dzire, ₹15 per km for Ertiga/Rumion, ₹20 per km for Innova Crysta and ₹24 per km for Innova Hycross.
Family Transfer Example
A family of six landing at Pune Airport with four large suitcases should choose an Ertiga, Rumion or Innova Crysta. If the family has 8–10 members, a tempo traveller is more comfortable because everyone can sit together and luggage can be stored properly.
Best Vehicle for Corporate Teams
Corporate airport transfers need punctuality, professional presentation and easy coordination. Whether employees are arriving for a conference, client meeting, training programme or company offsite, a single group vehicle keeps the schedule organised.
Best Options
- Innova Crysta or Innova Hycross: Best for senior management, client pickups and VIP guests.
- Tempo Traveller: Best for teams of 9–20 employees.
- Force Urbania: Best for premium corporate travel, leadership teams and client delegations.
- 32-Seater Bus: Best for medium-sized corporate teams or conference groups.
- 50-Seater Bus: Best for large employee movements, events and bulk airport shuttles.
For corporate teams landing in Hinjewadi, Kharadi, Viman Nagar or Magarpatta, a tempo traveller or Force Urbania is usually the most practical option. Shelke Travels also provides Force Urbania rentals in Hinjewadi and Pimpri-Chinchwad for corporate group transfers.
Corporate Transfer Example
If 14 employees are arriving at Pune Airport for a two-day offsite, one 17-seater tempo traveller is usually better than four separate cabs. It reduces pickup confusion, keeps luggage together and allows the team to travel as one group.
Best Vehicle for Large Groups
For groups above 20 people, booking multiple tempo travellers or a bus is more efficient than arranging many small cabs.
Recommended Options
- Two tempo travellers: Suitable for 20–35 passengers.
- Force Urbania + tempo traveller: Good for a premium group with support staff.
- 32-seater bus: Suitable for corporate teams, event groups and medium-sized delegations.
- 50-seater bus: Best for large families, wedding guest shuttles, corporate events and bulk transfers.
Shelke Travels provides Force Urbania, 32-seater buses and 50-seater buses, making it suitable for both medium and large group airport transfers.

Tips for a Smooth Airport Pickup or Drop
- Book at least one day in advance; for festivals, long weekends and wedding season, book two to three days ahead.
- Mention the exact number of bags while booking, not only the number of passengers.
- For domestic flights, plan to reach the airport about two hours before departure.
- For international flights, keep a three-hour buffer.
- During Pune peak hours, especially 8:30–11:00 AM and 5:30–8:30 PM, add extra travel time.
- Save the driver’s number as soon as you receive it.
- For early morning drops, ask for a reminder message the previous night.
- If travelling to Mumbai Airport, book a direct Pune-to-Mumbai Airport cab or tempo traveller instead of changing vehicles midway.
