Hyderabad · Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD)
Secunderabad to Hyderabad airport
Secunderabad is the longest run of any central locality — 38 km, and the whole of the city between you and the airport. Forty-six minutes at 5am, 76 at 7pm.
Thirty minutes of variation on the same trip. If you are catching an evening flight out of Secunderabad, the departure time is the decision that matters, not the car.
What it costs
Quoted for Secunderabad Railway 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.
How long it takes

The route
City to the PVNR Elevated Expressway
Secunderabad down through Begumpet and Panjagutta to Masab Tank and Mehdipatnam, onto the PVNR elevated expressway, down at Aramghar to NH-44.
There is no ring-road option from Secunderabad that saves time. The trip is a city crossing, and it is priced and timed as one.
Where the car meets you
In Secunderabad
If you are connecting from a train, note that the Platform 1 side of Secunderabad station has no parking during the redevelopment — it is pick-up and drop only. The Platform 10 side basement gives 15 minutes free. Tell us which platform you arrive at and the chauffeur meets you on the right side.
At Rajiv Gandhi International Airport

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.

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
I have a train arriving at Secunderabad and a flight out. How much time do I need?
Take 76 minutes as the evening-peak driving time and add the station walk. If your train is late, tell us — we move the pickup and the fare does not change.
Can the car come inside the station?
To the Platform 10 side basement, yes, where there is a 15-minute free window. The Platform 1 side has been pick-up and drop only since the redevelopment started.
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.
