Hyderabad · Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD)
Ameerpet to Hyderabad airport
Ameerpet is 36 km from the airport and has the second-largest peak swing of any Hyderabad locality on this site: 41 minutes at 5am against 72 at 7pm.
Thirty-one minutes. If your flight is in the evening, the honest advice is to leave earlier than feels necessary.
What it costs
Quoted for Ameerpet Metro Station on 1 August 2026. Your exact pickup address will shift it a little, which is why the button above gives you the real number for your trip.
Shoffr does not have surge pricing, so this fare is the same at 5am as it is at 7pm. It changes only if you add a stop or alter the route. What changes with the hour is how long the drive takes.

The route
City to the PVNR Elevated Expressway
Ameerpet through Panjagutta and Masab Tank to Mehdipatnam, onto the PVNR elevated expressway, down at Aramghar to NH-44 south.
Every minute of the variation is in the first eight kilometres. The expressway itself does not change.
Where the car meets you
In Ameerpet
A landmark rather than a pin. The Ameerpet main road is dense enough that a GPS pin and a place a car can actually stop are two different things.
At Rajiv Gandhi International Airport
Shoffr picks up from Point D, just past the Uber bay.
Collect your luggage and call your chauffeur. He brings the car to Point D and loads the bags. Fifteen minutes of waiting is included on every airport pickup.
Departures drop is at Level E, the upper forecourt. Cars may pull up to set down but not wait.
What is happening on this route
Ameerpet is on the published diversion route for the Banjara Hills Road No. 2 flyover works, in force since February 2026 with no end date announced, so it carries traffic that is not normally there.
As of February 2026The Panjagutta and NIMS stretch has drain works at Model House.
As of July 2026
Flying out of Hyderabad
The ring road is the reason the west side is predictable
The Outer Ring Road is grade-separated with no signals, a 120 kmph limit and an 80 kmph minimum in the fast lanes, and two- and three-wheelers are banned from it. Any locality whose route is mostly ORR — Gachibowli, Financial District, Kokapet, Manikonda, Kondapur — varies by only a few minutes across the whole day. Localities that cross the city do not.
2026 is a heavy construction year
The IIIT Junction flyovers on the IT corridor, the KBR Park package through Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills, the Mehdipatnam multi-level flyover at the mouth of the expressway, and the Uppal elevated corridor are all live at once, with completion dates from December 2026 to December 2028. Each locality page below says which of these sits on your route.
Charging is not a constraint here
There is a fast-charging hub at Shamshabad next to the airport with more than a hundred charging points, and a charger inside the airport car park. Our cars leave for your trip charged; the hub is what lets us run an all-electric airport fleet without ever asking you to wait.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the evening so much worse from Ameerpet?
It is a city crossing at the hour the city crosses itself, and the flyover works nearby push extra traffic through it. We charge ₹1,400 whether the drive takes 41 minutes or 72. What we ask is that you leave earlier.
Where exactly will the car be at Hyderabad airport?
At Point D, just past the Uber bay. Collect your luggage and call your chauffeur — he brings the car to Point D and loads the bags.
Does the fare change at 5am, or in the evening peak?
No. Shoffr does not have surge pricing, so the fare is fixed whatever time you travel. It changes only if you add a stop or alter the route.
Which car will I get?
A BYD e6 — a silent, Innova-sized electric SUV that seats 4 adults with 4 large suitcases. Same car every time, so you know what is arriving.
What happens if my flight is late?
Share your flight number when you book and we will do our best to keep the car waiting for you. Fifteen minutes of waiting is included and a small charge applies after that. If the delay starts to affect other guests' trips, we may have to cancel.
Can I book at short notice?
We suggest booking three to four hours ahead, and further ahead during peak hours. Shoffr is pre-booked only — there is no car-in-three-minutes button.
