Hyderabad · Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD)
Kondapur to Hyderabad airport
Kondapur is 31 km from the airport and unusually stable across the day — 33 minutes at 5am, 39 in the evening peak. That six-minute spread is the smallest of any locality on the west side, because the car drops onto the ORR early and stays there.
It is a good place to fly from. It is a harder place to be picked up in, because the local roads around Botanical Garden narrow and the chauffeur needs a precise address.
What it costs
Quoted for Botanical Garden 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
Outer Ring Road, western arc
Kondapur main road to the Gachibowli–Miyapur road, onto the ORR at Nanakramguda, then south to the Shamshabad interchange.
Almost the whole trip is on the ring road, which is why the spread between the quietest and busiest hour is so small.
Where the car meets you
In Kondapur
Give the apartment name and block. Kondapur's inner lanes are tight and a car circling to find a gate at 4am wakes the whole building.
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
Kothaguda Junction, on the way out of Kondapur, is a documented waterlogging point in monsoon and slows movement toward Botanical Garden. It is the one thing that turns a predictable Kondapur run into an unpredictable one.
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
Is Kondapur a reliable early-morning departure?
As reliable as Hyderabad gets. Thirty-three minutes at 5am against 39 in the evening peak, because the route is on the Outer Ring Road for most of its length and the ring road has no signals.
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.
