Pune airport chauffeur service: met at Lohegaon, or at Mumbai and driven down the Expressway
Pune Airport at Lohegaon is a civil enclave with a new integrated terminal six kilometres from Koregaon Park, and a large share of Pune's international travellers still fly through Mumbai and come down the Expressway. RUTZ.IN meets flights at both, with a name board at the arrivals exit, the aircraft tracked from departure and the fare to any Pune address fixed before you pay.

The terminal
Lohegaon: one terminal, and where the chauffeur waits
Pune Airport is a civil enclave at the Lohegaon air force station on the eastern side of the city, and its new integrated terminal, opened in March 2024, handles the domestic flights and the handful of international services through one building. The chauffeur waits at the arrivals exit beyond the baggage hall with a name board, in the zone the airport allows for private chauffeurs, and the confirmation names that point and gives the chauffeur's number. The car is in the pick-up lane for the short halt the airport permits or in the car park a few minutes' walk away, and the chauffeur takes the trolley either way; the Airports Authority of India's page for the airport is linked at the foot of this page.
The sixty minutes of waiting inside every airport fare are counted from the moment the aircraft lands. Domestic arrivals clear quickly; the international services pass the Bureau of Immigration desks in a few minutes to half an hour; baggage follows. The chauffeur waits through all of it, a passenger delayed inside the terminal is never treated as a no-show, and waiting beyond the hour is charged in fifteen-minute steps at the class's extra-hour rate. A night allowance of $50 for journeys between 10 pm and 6 am is shown on the fare before payment.
Mumbai
Arriving through Mumbai: the Expressway transfer
Most long-haul travellers to Pune land at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International, and the Expressway transfer is the airport booking the Pune desk runs most. The chauffeur meets the flight at Mumbai T2 or T1 with a name board, the flight tracked and the hour of waiting inside the fare, and drives the 150 km down the Mumbai-Pune Expressway through the Ghats to Koregaon Park, Hinjewadi or the plants in about three hours, with the tolls at cost. The journey is priced as a fixed intercity fare on the city-to-city page, and the Mumbai airport chauffeur page covers both Mumbai airports, including Navi Mumbai International, which is closer to the Expressway than the older airport. Departures are timed by the desk on the airline's cut-off and the Expressway that day, which on a monsoon evening means leaving Pune five hours before an international flight.
Navi Mumbai International, open since December 2025 on the mainland side of the harbour, is worth a word for Pune travellers: it sits nearer the start of the Expressway than the older airport at Sahar, so a flight that lands there saves the crossing of Mumbai on the way to Pune, and the desk checks the airport code on the ticket before it quotes the journey time.

The vehicles
Which car to book from Pune airport
The executive sedan, a Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5 Series, is the standard airport car for one or two passengers with two large bags, at $220 on the international card, and the car most passengers take down the Expressway from Mumbai. The luxury sedan, the S-Class or 7 Series, is $350 for a principal or a first-class arrival, and the Pune S-Class page covers it. The luxury SUV, a Fortuner, Land Cruiser or GLS, carries up to five with four bags at $280 and is the right car for a family or a journey on to the hills. The premium MPV, an Innova Hycross or Kia Carnival, carries six with five bags at $250 and is the value choice for a team. The V-Class and the group vans cover parties of six and twelve, and coaches through the network cover plant delegations. GST is added; tolls and parking are at cost; there is no meet-and-greet charge and no gratuity is expected. Every airport fare on both cards is on the rates page, and the national airport chauffeur page describes the same procedure at every airport in the country.
The calendar
Ganeshotsav, the monsoon and the Expressway
Ganeshotsav in August or September closes the old city for ten days and slows the roads from the airport to the Deccan side, which the desk plans around. The monsoon from June to September makes the Expressway through the Ghats slow and occasionally closed by landslips, and the desk watches the road as well as the flight for a Mumbai transfer, re-timing departures on the airline's advice; a flight cancelled by the airline moves the booking without charge. The December festivals and the wedding season bring their own arrivals at Lohegaon.
Booking
How to book a Pune airport chauffeur

Return transfers are booked as two legs, and the desk times a Mumbai departure on the Expressway that day. Companies book through their account coordinator and receive a monthly statement with GST on each line; the corporate accounts page explains the account. Cancellation is free more than 72 hours before the pickup, then stepped inside 72, 48 and 24 hours.

Questions
Airport chauffeur service in Pune: frequently asked
Should I fly into Pune or Mumbai?

Where is the meeting point at Pune airport?
At the arrivals exit of the integrated terminal, beyond the baggage hall, in the zone the airport allows for private chauffeurs, with a name board; the confirmation names it and gives the chauffeur's number.

Forty-five minutes to an hour and a half across the city depending on the hour; Koregaon Park is ten to twenty minutes and the Camp twenty to forty. The fare is fixed at the published class rate.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
The desk tracks the flight and the chauffeur is re-timed to the actual landing; the free hour starts then, so the delay costs nothing. A flight cancelled by the airline moves the booking to the new flight without charge.
When should I leave Pune for an international flight from Mumbai?
The desk times it on the airline's cut-off and the Expressway that day: usually four to five hours before the flight, more on a monsoon evening, and the pickup message carries the margin.
