Looking for a Kothrud to Mumbai cab with a fixed fare and a driver who actually picks up the phone? Shelke Travels is a local Pune operator with our office a few minutes away in Karve Nagar, so the car reaches Kothrud Depot, Paud Road, Ideal Colony or Mayur Colony on time, even for a 3 AM airport pickup. We drop you anywhere in Mumbai: Mumbai Airport T1 and T2, Navi Mumbai Airport, Thane, Vashi, Dadar, Bandra, Andheri, Powai or South Mumbai.
Choose from 10 cars, from an AC hatchback to the Innova Hycross. You pay one way only, every charge is listed in your quote before you confirm, and the driver name, number and car details come to your WhatsApp before pickup.
These are our starting fares for a Kothrud to Mumbai taxi in 2026. One way means you pay only for your drop, not for the car coming back empty to Pune. Round trip is charged per km and suits people who need the car in Mumbai for a meeting, a hospital visit or a family function and want to return the same day or the next.
Your final quote depends on the exact drop point, pickup time and luggage. Toll, parking and night charges, if any, are written in the quote before you book, so there is no surprise at the end of the trip.

Fares updated November 2026 for pickup from Kothrud. Prices can change on festival dates and long weekends. Call or WhatsApp 84840 68364 for the exact fare for your date.
A simple rule our drivers follow: choose the car by luggage first, then by the number of people. Two adults with two large suitcases for an international flight are more comfortable in an Etios than a Dzire. A family of five going to a wedding in Thane with gifts and bags needs at least an Ertiga. Here is what each car does best on the Kothrud to Mumbai run.
4 + Driver, 2 to 3 bags. Our most booked car for couples, students and solo trips to Mumbai Airport.
₹2,580 one way
4 + Driver, 3 bags. Bigger boot than the Dzire, a smart pick for long stays and overseas flights.
₹2,899 one way
6 + Driver, 3 bags. Best value for a small family going to Thane, Navi Mumbai or a Mumbai wedding.
₹3,399 one way
6 + Driver, 3 bags. Quiet, fuel efficient and easy on parents and senior citizens.
Call for fare
7 + Driver, 4 to 5 bags. Captain seats and a smooth ride for corporate guests and family trips.
₹4,999 one way
7 + Driver, 4 bags. Premium hybrid for business travel and VIP airport transfers.

The biggest advantage of starting from Kothrud is Chandni Chowk. Since the Chandni Chowk flyover project was completed, a car from Kothrud reaches the Mumbai Bengaluru Highway in a few minutes instead of crawling through Paud Road or University Road. From there the driver heads north past Baner, Wakad and Tathawade and joins the Mumbai Pune Expressway at Kiwale near Dehu Road.
On the Expressway you pass Talegaon, Lonavala and Khalapur. Since 1 May 2026, cars use the new Missing Link between Kusgaon and Khopoli, which skips the old Khandala ghat and saves around 25 to 30 minutes on a normal day. After Khalapur the route splits. Kalamboli and Panvel lead to Navi Mumbai Airport, Vashi and Thane, while Sion and the Eastern Express Highway lead to Mumbai Airport, Dadar, Bandra and Andheri. For South Mumbai, drivers often take Atal Setu from the Navi Mumbai side to skip the Sion and Dadar traffic.
Most of the time on this trip is lost inside Mumbai, not on the Expressway. Friday evenings, Sunday evenings and long weekends are the slowest, so share your flight or meeting time and we will plan the pickup with a safe buffer.
| Drop Point | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Navi Mumbai International Airport | 115 to 120 km | 2 to 2.5 hours |
| Vashi, Kharghar, Belapur, Panvel | 120 to 130 km | 2.5 hours |
| Thane | 145 km | 3 hours |
| Chembur, Ghatkopar, Powai | 145 to 150 km | 3 to 3.5 hours |
| Mumbai Airport (T1 / T2) | 150 to 155 km | 3 to 3.5 hours |
| Dadar, Bandra, Andheri, BKC | 155 km | 3 to 3.5 hours |
| CSMT, Churchgate, Colaba | 165 km | 3.5 to 4 hours |
| Borivali, Kandivali, Malad | 170 km | 3.5 to 4 hours |
Approximate times in normal traffic using the Missing Link. Peak hours in Mumbai can add 30 to 60 minutes.
You have three real options from Kothrud. MSRTC Shivneri buses stop near Vanaz, trains leave from Pune Junction and Shivajinagar, and a private cab picks you up from your gate. For one person with a small bag, the bus or train is cheaper. Once you are two or more people, carry luggage or have a flight to catch, a cab usually works out better, because there is no auto to the station, no waiting and no second taxi in Mumbai.
| Option | Door to Door | Luggage | Timing | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private cab (Shelke Travels) | Yes, from your gate | As per car size | Any time, 24x7 | Families, airport drops, senior citizens |
| Shared cab | No, fixed pickup point | Limited | Leaves when seats fill | Solo travellers on a budget |
| Shivneri bus | No, from the bus stop | One or two bags | Fixed timetable | Single traveller, light bags |
| Train | No, from Pune Junction or Shivajinagar | You carry it | Fixed timetable, booking needed | Daily commuters to Dadar or CSMT |
| Feature | Shelke Travels | Typical App Cab |
|---|---|---|
| Fare | Fixed quote shared on WhatsApp | Can change with demand and time |

| Driver | Does the Pune Mumbai run every week | May be new to the route |
| Early morning pickup | Driver assigned the night before | Depends on who accepts |

| Bigger groups | Urbania, tempo traveller and buses too | Not available |
Kothrud is a big area, and the pickup time from Kothrud Depot is different from Karishma Chowk. Share your society name or nearest landmark and the driver comes straight to your gate. These are the places we pick up from every week for Mumbai trips:
Starting from another part of the city? Our Pune to Mumbai cab page covers pickups across Pune. If you are closer to our office, book the Karve Nagar to Mumbai cab.
Our office is at Shop No. 4, Barate Complex, Karve Nagar, a short drive from Kothrud. Call, WhatsApp or walk in.
For a Mumbai drop you pay for the drop, not for the car coming back empty to Pune.
Our drivers do Pune to Mumbai almost every day and know the Missing Link, airport terminals and good food stops.
We plan back from your flight time and add buffer for Mumbai traffic, so early pickups are never a guess.
From an AC hatchback to the Innova Hycross. You book the exact car, not just a category.
Driver name, phone and car number on WhatsApp before the trip. Clean AC cars checked before every outstation run.
One way drop. The most booked option. The car picks you up in Kothrud, drops you in Mumbai and returns. You pay only the one way fare.
Round trip. Useful when the car has to wait in Mumbai for a few hours or stay overnight. It is charged per km from Kothrud and back, with driver allowance for overnight trips.
Mumbai Airport drop. For a domestic flight from T1 or T2, leave Kothrud about 5 to 5.5 hours before departure. For an international flight, leave 6 to 6.5 hours before. Navi Mumbai Airport is closer, so 4 to 4.5 hours before a domestic flight is usually enough. Our Pune to Mumbai Airport cab page has more airport details.
Coming back? Book a Mumbai to Pune cab or a Mumbai Airport to Pune taxi and we will drop you home in Kothrud.
For 8 or more people, two cabs often cost more than one bigger vehicle, and the group gets split on the road. A Force Urbania or tempo traveller keeps everyone together, and for weddings or society trips a bus works out cheaper per head.
One way fares start at ₹2,299 for an AC hatchback, ₹2,580 for a Swift Dzire or Aura, ₹2,899 for a Toyota Etios, ₹3,399 for a Maruti Ertiga, ₹4,499 for a Toyota Innova and ₹4,999 for an Innova Crysta. The final fare depends on your drop point, date and pickup time.
Mumbai is about 145 to 170 km from Kothrud by road, depending on where you are going. Mumbai Airport is about 150 to 155 km and Navi Mumbai Airport is about 115 to 120 km.
Usually 2.5 to 4 hours. The new Missing Link on the Expressway, open since May 2026, saves around 25 to 30 minutes. Traffic inside Mumbai is the main thing that changes the time.
It is a one way cab. You pay only for the drop from Kothrud to Mumbai, not for the car coming back.
Round trips are charged per km: ₹13 per km for a Dzire or Aura, ₹14 for an Etios, ₹15 for a Rumion, ₹20 for an Innova Crysta and ₹24 for an Innova Hycross. A minimum km per day and driver allowance apply. Call us for the exact amount for your plan.
The Expressway toll for a car is about ₹320 one way at current rates. Toll, parking and any night charges are clearly mentioned in your quote before you confirm, so you know the full amount upfront.
Leave about 5 to 5.5 hours before a domestic flight and 6 to 6.5 hours before an international flight. For Navi Mumbai Airport, 4 to 4.5 hours before a domestic flight is usually enough.
Yes. Navi Mumbai International Airport is about 115 to 120 km from Kothrud, around 2 to 2.5 hours by cab. Share your flight time and we plan the pickup.
Yes, we run 24×7. For pickups between midnight and 6 AM, book at least a day before so the driver is assigned the night before.
