You've just landed at Mumbai airport after a long flight. The last thing you want is to figure out cab booking in a busy arrival hall. We've been picking up passengers from CSIA for years — here's the complete, practical guide to getting from Mumbai airport to Pune, stress-free.
Step 1: Which Terminal Did You Land At?
CSIA has two terminals at different locations. Confirm this before we arrive:
- T1, Domestic (Santacruz): IndiGo, SpiceJet domestic arrivals. At Santacruz East off Western Express Highway.
- T2, International + some domestic (Andheri): Air India, Emirates, international arrivals. At Andheri East, near Sahar Road.
Getting picked up at the wrong terminal wastes 30-40 minutes and a lot of frustration. Share your airline name when booking and we'll confirm the right terminal.
How Our Airport Pickup Works
We keep it simple:
- Book in advance (preferred) or call us once you land — we'll dispatch immediately
- Your driver meets you at the arrivals exit with your name on display
- For international flights, we track flight status so the driver arrives after your actual landing, not the scheduled time
- We wait up to 60 minutes for free — if your baggage is delayed or customs takes time, no problem
- Drive to Pune door-to-door — you share your Pune address and we drop you directly
Mumbai Airport to Pune: How Long Does the Drive Take?
Same as the Pune-to-Mumbai route, the time varies based on when you depart:
- Midnight to 7 AM departures: 2.5–3 hours. Best window: Mumbai is quiet and the expressway is fast.
- 8 AM–11 AM: 3.5–4 hours. Western Express Highway gets heavy towards the suburbs.
- 12 PM–3 PM: 3–3.5 hours. Reasonable window.
- 4 PM–8 PM: 4–5 hours on weekdays. Mumbai evening peak is the worst time.
- After 9 PM: 2.5–3 hours. Night departures are smooth again.
If you have flexibility in your schedule, landing in the early morning and heading to Pune immediately is the best combination.

Common Questions
Can my driver wait if my international flight is delayed?
Yes. We track international flights and adjust pickup timing accordingly. If your flight is delayed by a few hours, the driver waits or arrives at the new time. We stay in touch throughout.
Is the cab air-conditioned?
All our cabs are fully AC. The driver will not turn it off on the expressway. Passengers on the return trip from a long flight usually want to sleep on the ride back to Pune after a long flight.
