Airport transfer in Visakhapatnam: chauffeur pickup at Visakhapatnam International Airport
Visakhapatnam International Airport is a civil enclave at the naval air station INS Dega, about 12 km west of the city and 14 km from RK Beach. The terminal sits inside a naval station, which shapes the pick-up, and the chauffeur runs the Beach Road hotels, the port and steel-plant gates, and the ghat road to Araku.

Airport transfers in Visakhapatnam
Because the airfield belongs to the Navy, the arrangements are slightly different from a city airport: photography is restricted around the terminal, the pick-up bay is outside the terminal gate rather than at the doors, and the chauffeur waits at the single arrivals exit with a name board and walks the passenger to the car. The Novotel at Varun Beach is about 10 km and 20 to 25 minutes; The Park on Beach Road and the Four Points by Sheraton are 8 to 11 km; RK Beach itself is about 14 km and 30 minutes. Rushikonda and Madhurawada, the technology hills to the north-east, are about 20 km by the Beach Road, and Simhachalam temple is 28 km from the airport by the devasthanam's own figure.
Routes and drive times from VTZ
Industrial arrivals go the other way. The Visakhapatnam Steel Plant and the Gajuwaka industrial belt, the port and the naval dockyard, and the pharmaceutical units at Parawada lie south and west of the terminal, and a passenger with a plant meeting can be driven straight there with the car held at the gate; port and naval-area passes are the passenger's to arrange and the chauffeur carries the paperwork. Visakhapatnam Junction on the Howrah-Chennai line is in the city, and Duvvada station serves the trains that bypass it. Vizianagaram, 60 km from the airport by its district administration's figure, is the nearest large town to the north.
Practical notes for VTZ
There are no tolls between the airport and the city; terminal parking is paid by the chauffeur and itemised. Night arrivals shorten the Beach Road run to about 20 minutes, but the naval-gate procedure does not change, so the chauffeur allows the same buffer. For departures, leave the Beach Road hotels about 40 minutes before you want to be at the terminal, Rushikonda about 50 minutes, and Gajuwaka about 35. Navy Day on 4 December and the Fleet Review put ships off Beach Road and crowds on it, and Visakha Utsav follows over the New Year; airport runs during those days use the inner roads. Araku passengers are met at the terminal and driven straight into the ghats.

Questions
Airport transfer in Visakhapatnam: frequently asked
