Hyderabad · Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD)
Kokapet to Hyderabad airport
Kokapet is 28 km from the airport and the drive holds almost flat across the day — 34 minutes at 5am, 29 at 9am, 30 at 7pm.
It is one of the few places in Hyderabad where the morning is faster than the small hours, because the Kokapet ORR ramp is a minute away and the ring road does the rest.
What it costs
Quoted for Kokapet 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 shortest local-road segment of any Hyderabad locality on this site.
Where the car meets you
In Kokapet and Narsingi
Project and tower name. Neopolis is still building out and the road names on maps do not always match the signage on the ground.
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
A metro corridor from Raidurg to Kokapet Neopolis is in the plan, running via Nanakramguda Junction and Wipro Circle. It is at report stage and construction has not begun, so it is not affecting the road yet.

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
Is Kokapet a good place to fly out of early?
Yes, and it is nearly as good in the middle of the day. Thirty-four, 29 and 30 minutes at 5am, 9am and 7pm on the same route.
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.
