Airport Transportation in Hyderabad

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Hyderabad takes you from Shamshabad to hotels, offices and homes in HITEC City, Gachibowli and the Financial District, Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills, the old city around Charminar, and Secunderabad.

Hyderabad Airport Transfers

Hyderabad airport transfers start outside the arrivals exit, where your driver waits with a name board after baggage claim and customs, since only passengers may enter the terminal. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for your vehicle is agreed before you fly, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.

Each Hyderabad airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, office, apartment or home in HITEC City, Gachibowli, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, the old city or Secunderabad. Going on to Warangal or Vijayawada? Enter the address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered for that route.

Hyderabad Airport Shuttle

Our Hyderabad airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a bus that stops along the way into the city. It leaves as soon as you have your bags, with room for suitcases and strollers, and suits families, groups and business teams heading to HITEC City or the Financial District.

Landing at Hyderabad Airport

Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD), also called Shamshabad Airport, is south of Hyderabad, and GMR runs it. All flights use one integrated terminal, with domestic flights on its eastern side and international flights on its western side.

On international flights you go through immigration, then baggage claim and customs, before the arrivals hall; domestic passengers go straight to baggage claim. Only ticketed passengers may enter the terminal, so pre-booked drivers wait outside the arrivals exit, on the arrivals ramp and in the parking zones in front of the building.

India is on Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30) all year and uses the rupee.

Entry requirements and local notes

Visa and e-Arrival Card. Most foreign visitors need an Indian visa or e-Visa, and Hyderabad accepts e-Visa arrivals. Foreign nationals, including OCI cardholders, must also complete the online e-Arrival Card within 72 hours before landing; paper arrival cards are no longer used.

Terminal entry. Only ticketed passengers may enter Indian airport terminals, so your driver cannot wait inside; look for the name board outside the arrivals exit.

Hyderabad, India. This page is for Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD) in Hyderabad, India, not Hyderabad in Pakistan. The old Begumpet Airport in the city no longer handles scheduled passenger flights.

Rupees and UPI. India uses the rupee. ATMs and currency exchange are in the terminal, and cards and UPI payments are widely accepted.

Hyderabad Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Hyderabad Airport?

Outside the arrivals exit, holding a name board, after baggage claim and customs. Only ticketed passengers may enter the terminal, so drivers cannot wait inside.

How far is Hyderabad Airport from the city?

The airport is in Shamshabad, about 24 km (15 miles) south of Hyderabad. The drive to Banjara Hills, HITEC City or Gachibowli usually takes 45 minutes to over an hour, depending on traffic.

Can you take me to HITEC City, Gachibowli or the Financial District?

Yes. We drive to hotels, offices and apartments across HITEC City, Madhapur, Kondapur, Gachibowli and the Financial District.

Can you take me to Banjara Hills or Jubilee Hills?

Yes. We drive to hotels and homes in Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Can you take me to Secunderabad or the old city near Charminar?

Yes. We drive to Secunderabad, including its railway station, and to hotels and homes in the old city around Charminar. Where lanes are too narrow for a car, your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

Can you take me to Warangal or Vijayawada?

Warangal and Vijayawada are far outside Hyderabad. Enter the address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered for that route; if it is not, contact us before you fly.

Do you drive to apartments, homes and vacation rentals?

Yes. Give the full address, the building or gated community name and any gate details, so your driver can reach the right entrance.

Which terminal will I arrive at?

Hyderabad has one integrated terminal. Domestic flights arrive on its eastern side and international flights on its western side, so give your flight number when you book.

Do you pick up from late-night and early-morning flights?

Many international flights land at Hyderabad late at night or in the early morning. Book with your flight number, and your driver is scheduled for your actual landing time.

Should I buy a ride from people offering cars at Hyderabad Airport?

There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and a meeting point before you land. If someone approaches you outside arrivals, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.

What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.

Can I book a ride back to Hyderabad Airport?

Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip from your hotel, office or home, and give your flight number and departure time, so the pickup leaves time for Hyderabad traffic, check-in and security.

What do I need to enter India at Hyderabad Airport?

Most foreign visitors need an Indian visa or e-Visa. Foreign nationals, including OCI cardholders, must also complete the online e-Arrival Card within 72 hours before landing.
