What time should you leave for an early flight?
Count back from the time you must be at the airport: the drive time for your route, plus a margin. Early-morning roads are usually clear, but leave room for the unexpected.
| Flight | At the airport by | Leave Becharaji (110 km) | Leave central Ahmedabad |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6:00 AM domestic | 4:00 AM | About 12:45 AM | Ask us for your area |
| 7:30 AM domestic | 5:30 AM | About 2:15 AM | Ask us for your area |
| 9:00 AM domestic | 7:00 AM | About 3:45 AM | Ask us for your area |
Suggestions only; check your airline's check-in time. The Becharaji drive is about 2 hours 50 minutes.
How much does the night charge add?
The 20% night charge applies to driving between 10 PM and 6 AM. On the Becharaji to airport drop, tolls, parking and the night charge are extra on top of the ₹1,700 or ₹2,500 sedan fare; from Ahmedabad city, 20% is added to the per-km fare.
For a flight late in the morning, a pickup at 6 AM or later avoids the night charge. For a dawn flight, the charge is usually worth it to arrive on time. See the night charge.
What makes an early pickup go smoothly?
Pack the night before, keep your phone on, and wait at a gate the driver can reach. Share a WhatsApp location pin if your address is hard to find in the dark.
- Driver's number: save it as soon as it arrives.
- Wake-up check: the driver can call when leaving for your pickup, if you ask.
- Family updates: we can share the car's live location so family can see you reached the airport.
