Hyderabad · Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD)
LB Nagar to Hyderabad airport
At 25 km, LB Nagar is the shortest airport distance of any locality on this site. It is not the fastest, because the route runs through the southern city rather than around it.
Thirty-five minutes at 5am, 48 in the evening peak.
What it costs
Quoted for LB Nagar 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
Southern city or the eastern ring road
Either LB Nagar through Santosh Nagar and Chandrayangutta to Mailardevpally and Aramghar, or out to the Pedda Amberpet ORR ramp and round the southern arc.
The city route is shorter and signalised. The ring-road route is longer and free-flowing. The chauffeur picks on the day.
Where the car meets you

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
It is only 25 km. Why does it take 48 minutes in the evening?
Because the short route is a signalised city route and the free-flowing route is longer. There is no version of this trip that is both short and fast at 7pm. The fare is ₹1,200 either way.
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.
