Mumbai to Pune - Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Mumbai to Pune cab ride take?
The journey takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours via the Mumbai-Pune Expressway under normal traffic conditions. During weekends or holidays, travel time may increase to 3.5 to 4 hours due to heavier traffic.
What is the toll cost on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway?
The toll charges on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway are approximately INR 300-400 one way for cars. These charges are payable separately by the passenger and are not included in the cab fare.
Can I stop at Lonavala on the way to Pune?
Absolutely! Lonavala is a popular hill station located midway on the expressway. You can request a stopover to visit Bhushi Dam, Tiger's Leap, or grab some famous Lonavala chikki. A brief halt can be arranged at no extra charge.
Is it better to travel on the Expressway or the old Mumbai-Pune highway?
The Expressway is faster, smoother, and safer compared to the old highway (NH-48). The old highway passes through several towns and has heavier truck traffic, making the expressway the strongly recommended option.
Are airport pickups available for this route?
Yes, RiccoRide provides pickups from both Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and Pune's Lohegaon Airport. You can specify your pickup point while booking, and the driver will meet you at the arrivals gate.
What if I have excess luggage?
Sedans can accommodate 2-3 medium suitcases comfortably. For extra luggage, we recommend booking an SUV which offers significantly more boot space. Let us know your luggage requirements while booking for the best vehicle recommendation.
