Mumbai Airport to Lonavala Cab Service

HireCab offers a dedicated cab service from Mumbai airport to Lonavala for passengers arriving at the airport. The driver will meet the passengers in arrivals and will take them out with no trouble at all.

This is ideal for passengers who have travel plans to head straight to the hills and do not intend to stop in the city. Instead of dragging heavy bags around town, they can just relax in a cab and enjoy the expressway without interruptions. Airport pickup fares are the same as our standard one-way rates above – no separate airport surcharge.

One Way and Round Trip Cabs by HireCab

A one-way Sedan costs ₹2,500; if you're returning the same day, book a round trip at ₹4,300 instead of two separate one-way cabs. It's the same driver on the way back too, which many travellers prefer since they already know who's driving them.

Comfort and Flexibility on the Road

Flexibility in itinerary is definitely an advantage of travelling by HireCab. Travellers can take breaks along the way to stretch their legs or just enjoy the views. The drivers are flexible and would fit their timings accordingly.

The journey between Mumbai and Lonavala is one of beautiful sights. Tiger Point or Bhushi Dam are the places where travellers will commonly stop to take photographs. These short stops change the ride from transportation into an experience. During the monsoon, waterfalls come down the rocky cliffs along the way; in winter, morning mist adds its own charm to the drive.

Where to Stop for Food on the Way

Many families like to leave Mumbai early and have breakfast on the highway. The food mall near the Khalapur toll plaza is the most popular halt – clean washrooms, plenty of parking and food counters for every taste. Closer to the ghat, Khopoli is famous for its vada pav, and there are tea stalls near the expressway exits if you just want a quick cutting chai.

Your HireCab driver knows all these stops well, so just tell him where you'd like a break. Short halts like these don't add any extra charge – the fare stays the same.
