About the Vadodara to Mumbai Airport journey
This is one of the long ones. 425 km on NH48, the Mumbai to Ahmedabad highway, around 7h 5m of driving, and it is usually done either as an overnight departure or an early start so the bulk of the distance is covered before the traffic builds. Drivers take a proper rest break rather than pushing straight through, and that is already built into the 7h 5m rather than added to it.
For a flight out of Mumbai Airport, we normally set the pickup about five hours before departure on this route. That leaves room for the drive, the check in window and a margin for the approach road.
Leaving Vadodara
Vadodara is our home yard, so cars start from here rather than driving in empty to collect you. Pickups anywhere inside the city, from Alkapuri and Fatehgunj to Gotri and Waghodia Road, cost the same.
Traffic through Genda Circle and the station area is heaviest between 9am and 11am. For an early flight we set off before that window rather than trying to beat it.
Arriving in Mumbai Airport
Because BOM sits inside the city rather than outside it, the approach is the slow part. For an international departure we plan to arrive three hours ahead and leave room on top.
The overnight run from Gujarat is the most common way people do this, arriving in the early morning ahead of a mid morning flight.
