Expressway or the Old Highway?

Two main roads connect Vadodara and Ahmedabad: the Ahmedabad–Vadodara Expressway (NE1) and the older NH48 via Anand and Nadiad. Your driver will choose based on your pickup and drop points and the traffic that day.

	Expressway (NE1)	Old NH48
Best for	Fast, direct travel; airport and station drops	Stops in Anand or Nadiad on the way
Traffic	Access-controlled, fewer slowdowns	Passes through towns and junctions
Tolls	Tolled	Has its own toll plazas
Food stops	Food plazas on the route	Many roadside restaurants

If you want to stop at Anand for Amul Dairy, a college, or a relative’s home, just say so when booking. The one-way fare is based on the route and drop point you agree on.

Pickup Areas in Vadodara

We pick up from anywhere in Vadodara city and nearby areas. Common pickup points include:

• Central Vadodara: Alkapuri, Sayajigunj, Race Course, Fatehgunj and the railway station area.
• South and west: Manjalpur, Akota, Vasna Road, Gotri and Gorwa.
• East and outskirts: Waghodia Road, Harni (near Vadodara airport), Makarpura and the GIDC areas.
• University and hostels: the MS University campus and nearby PG accommodation.

Pickups from the Expressway end (around Harni or Waghodia Road) usually get onto the road quickly. From older parts of the city, allow 15–25 minutes extra for traffic, especially in the evening.

Drop Areas in Ahmedabad

The Expressway reaches Ahmedabad on the south-eastern side of the city, close to the SP Ring Road. That affects how long the last part of the trip takes.

• Eastern Ahmedabad — Maninagar, Vastral, Odhav, Vatva, Naroda: quickest to reach once you leave the Expressway.
• Central and old city — Kalupur station, Ashram Road, Navrangpura, CG Road: allow extra time inside the city during office hours.
• Western suburbs — SG Highway, Prahlad Nagar, Satellite, Bodakdev, Bopal, Shela: the driver may use the SP Ring Road to avoid the city centre.
• North — Chandkheda, Motera, the airport, Gandhinagar and GIFT City: often reached via the Ring Road; add some time and distance.

Timing Your Trip for Flights and Trains

Catching a flight from Ahmedabad

For a domestic flight, aim to reach the airport about 2 hours before departure; for international, about 3 hours. Add the 1.5–2 hour drive plus a buffer for city traffic. Our guide on how early to book an airport cab has more detail. Tell us your terminal (T1 or T2) so the driver drops you at the right one.

Catching a train

Ahmedabad Junction (Kalupur) is in the busy old-city area, so allow extra time for the last few kilometres. If your train also stops at Maninagar or Sabarmati, one of those may be easier to reach depending on where you board.

Best times to travel

• Early morning (5–7 a.m.) is usually the quickest window.
• Weekday evenings (roughly 6–9 p.m.) see heavier traffic at both city ends.
• Sunday evenings can be busy with people returning to Ahmedabad after the weekend.

Who Uses This Route

Business commuters

Many professionals live in one city and work in the other, or travel to Ahmedabad for meetings, client visits and bank or government work. A one-way taxi lets you work on the way, and you can book the return to Vadodara separately when your meetings are over.

Students and families

Students moving between Vadodara and Ahmedabad colleges often travel with heavy bags at the start and end of term. An Ertiga holds more luggage than a sedan. Families shifting homes or visiting relatives find a door-to-door drop easier than a bus or train with bags.

Hospital and appointment visits

If you are travelling to Ahmedabad for a medical appointment, a door-to-door cab avoids changing transport with a patient. Mention any mobility needs when booking.

On the Day of Travel

1. Confirm the pickup point: share a landmark or a map pin on WhatsApp, especially in housing societies with several gates or large campuses.
2. Keep your phone reachable: the driver may call when he is close or if he cannot find the gate.
3. Share the exact drop address: a full address with the society or building name avoids confusion at the Ahmedabad end.
4. Keep valuables with you: laptops, documents and jewellery are better kept in the cabin than in the boot.
5. Check the car before leaving it: phones, chargers and spectacles are the items most often left behind.

Late-Night and Early-Morning Journeys

Because we operate 24 hours, you can book a pickup at any time — useful for early flights, late trains, or reaching Ahmedabad after a long working day in Vadodara. The Expressway is usually quiet at night, so late journeys tend to be quicker. Tell us the time you want to arrive rather than only the pickup time, and we can suggest a sensible start.

For women travelling alone or families with young children at night, share the trip details with someone at home and save the driver’s number before the journey begins.

One Way or Same-Day Round Trip?

If you are going to Ahmedabad and coming back the same day, compare a one-way taxi each way with a round-trip booking.

• Two one-way taxis work well when you have a long gap — a full day of meetings, or an unknown return time.
• A round trip suits multiple stops across Ahmedabad, as the car stays with you and moves you between places. Round trips are billed per km with a daily minimum and driver allowance; check the taxi tariff to compare.
• For several hours of errands inside Ahmedabad after you arrive, you can also add a local package (8 hours / 80 km) — ask us when booking.
