Mumbai Airport Transfer — From BOM Chhatrapati Shivaji

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport serves one of the world's most congested cities. It sits in the middle of Mumbai's northern suburbs, so every journey, whether to a South Mumbai hotel or to the offices of the Bandra Kurla Complex, means working through the city's notoriously dense traffic. A LocalsRide fixed-price transfer takes the guesswork out of a metered fare that climbs in every jam.

Transfer Times from Mumbai Airport

In light traffic, Andheri and the western suburbs are 15 to 25 minutes from BOM, the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) 20 to 35 minutes, and Bandra West 25 to 40 minutes. South Mumbai (Colaba, Fort, Nariman Point) runs anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes and depends heavily on the hour, so leave extra time for an evening arrival. The Eastern Freeway and the expressways help, but Mumbai traffic stays unpredictable.

Terminals at Mumbai Airport

Terminal 1 (T1) handles domestic flights for IndiGo and SpiceJet. Terminal 2 (T2), a vast and architecturally striking building, serves all international flights and most major domestic carriers, Air India among them. The two terminals share a site but have separate drop-off and pickup points, so confirm yours when booking.
