If you are landing at Lohegaon with a group of 8 to 17 people, a Pune airport transfer by Force Urbania is one of the most comfortable ways to get everyone and their bags to the hotel, venue or office together. The Urbania rides smoother than a regular tempo traveller, has a quiet AC cabin and a proper luggage area at the back, which is exactly what tired travellers want after a flight.
This guide explains which Urbania variant to book for your group, what the fare looks like for city and outstation drops, how much luggage fits and how the pickup works at the new Pune airport terminal.
Why Choose Force Urbania for an Airport Transfer?
- One vehicle for the whole group: No splitting into three or four cabs and waiting for the last one.
- Comfortable for elders and families: Individual reclining seats, good legroom and a low step for boarding.
- Space for airport luggage: A dedicated luggage area at the rear, plus space for cabin bags inside.
- Professional look for corporate guests: A clean, modern van makes a good first impression for visiting clients and senior teams.
- Driver who tracks your flight: The driver reaches according to the actual landing time, not just the booked time.
Force Urbania Variants for Airport Pickup
Shelke Travels runs every common Urbania layout. Seating is shown as passengers plus the driver.
- 9 seater Force Urbania (9+1 Driver): Best for small VIP groups or families with lots of luggage. The extra space at the back makes heavy airport bags easy to handle.
- 12 seater Force Urbania (12+1 Driver): The most balanced choice for a family or office group of 9 to 11 people with regular luggage.
- 13 seater Force Urbania (13+1 Driver): Good for 10 to 12 people where every seat matters.
- 16 seater Force Urbania (16+1 Driver): For groups of 13 to 15 who want one vehicle.
- 17 seater Force Urbania: For the largest groups that still want Urbania comfort.
Our tip: for airport runs, book one size above your exact headcount. A 12 seater for 10 people leaves room for cabin bags and handbags that otherwise end up on laps.
Pune Airport Transfer by Force Urbania: Fare
Fares depend on whether the drop is inside Pune or outside the city.
Airport to anywhere in Pune and PCMC
A Pune local package for Urbania starts from βΉ7,000 for 8 hours and 80 km, with fuel and driver included. This covers drops to Kharadi, Viman Nagar, Koregaon Park, Baner, Hinjewadi, Wakad, Pimpri Chinchwad and most of the city. Parking and toll, if any, are extra.
Airport to outstation (Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar, Mumbai and more)
Outstation runs are billed per km with a minimum of 300 km per day:
- 13 seater Urbania: from βΉ32 per km, about βΉ9,600 for a one day trip
- 16 and 17 seater Urbania: from βΉ33 per km, about βΉ9,900 for a one day trip
Popular outstation airport transfers include Lonavala resorts (about 80 km), Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar (about 130 km) and Mumbai. Toll, parking and driver allowance are added as per actuals.
Is Urbania cheaper than booking cabs?
For a quick city drop of 6 or 7 people, two app cabs can sometimes cost less than an Urbania package. The Urbania starts making sense when the group is 8 or more, when the luggage is heavy, when the flight lands late at night with surge pricing, or when the drop is outside the city. It also saves you from managing several drivers and keeps the whole group together, which matters a lot for elders and first time visitors.
Force Urbania Luggage Space for Airport Trips
Luggage is the most common worry for airport bookings. As a simple guide:
- 9 and 12 seater: Comfortable for one large check in bag and one cabin bag per person.
- 13 seater: Fine for medium bags and cabin bags. Very large suitcases for every passenger may need planning.
- 16 and 17 seater with a full group: Best with medium sized bags. For heavy wedding or international luggage, consider a bigger vehicle or a separate car for bags.
For variant wise details with real bag counts, read our Force Urbania luggage capacity guide. Always tell us the number and size of bags at booking so we can suggest the right variant.
How Group Pickup Works at Pune Airport
Since March 2025, all flights at Pune airport operate from the New Integrated Terminal Building, and commercial vehicles are not allowed to wait in front of the arrival gate. This is how a typical Urbania pickup works:
- Share your flight number and the coordinator’s phone number at the time of booking.
- The driver tracks the flight and reaches the designated commercial pickup area before you land.
- After you collect your bags, call the driver. He will guide the group to the exact boarding point.
- For airport drops, the Urbania drops you at the departure side so you can head straight to check in.
For groups of 20 or more, an Urbania may not be enough. Our Pune airport group transfer by bus guide covers 32, 40 and 50 seater options. If you are only 3 to 6 people, a sedan or SUV from our Pune airport pickup and drop guide is more practical.
Who Books Urbania Airport Transfers Most?
- Wedding families picking up close relatives arriving together
- Corporate teams and visiting clients heading to Hinjewadi, Kharadi or Magarpatta
- Tour groups landing in Pune and heading straight to Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar or Shirdi
- Families returning from abroad with heavy international luggage
