Pune to Mumbai - Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Pune to Mumbai cab ride take?
The journey takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours via the Mumbai-Pune Expressway under normal conditions. However, entering Mumbai can add 30-60 minutes depending on your destination within the city and the time of day.
What is the best time to leave Pune to avoid Mumbai traffic?
To avoid heavy Mumbai traffic, we recommend starting from Pune either very early morning (before 6 AM) or mid-morning (after 10 AM). Avoid entering Mumbai during the 8-10 AM and 6-9 PM rush hours for a smoother arrival.

Is the old highway route via Khopoli an option?
Yes, you can opt for the old highway (NH-48) which passes through Lonavala and the scenic Khandala ghat section. It takes longer (about 3.5-4 hours) but is a more scenic drive. Let us know your preference while booking.

Toll charges on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway are approximately INR 300-400 one way for cars. These are payable by the passenger at the toll plazas and are not included in the cab fare.
