Mumbai Airport taxi prices

Unfortunately, local Mumbai Airport taxi drivers don’t offer a flat rate fes. Instead, your fee will be calculated using a taximeter based on distance traveled.

Here are the current Mumbai Airport taxi rates:

Day rates:

Base fee (incl. 4.00 km): €1.17 (INR 99)

Per kilometer price: €0.25 (INR 21)

Waiting time per hour: €1.42 (INR 120)

Night rates:

Everyday between 22:00 and 04:00.

Base fee (incl. 4.00 km): €1.17 (INR 99)

Per kilometer price: €0.22 (INR 19)

Waiting time per hour: €1.42 (INR 120)

With this in mind, the average cost of the journey from Mumbai Airport to the city center is around €9 (INR 700), making it much cheaper than a lot of major cities. Having said that, it’s worth keeping in mind that the local drivers may add extra costs for things such as the number of passengers, traveling at night and excess luggage.

If you choose to take a “cool” taxi which is an air-conditioned option from the airport, you’ll need to prepay for your ride at the taxi kiosks in the Arrivals Hall. Cool taxis tend to be more expensive than black and yellow taxis.

To enjoy the peace of mind of a set-rate fee, we suggest booking your taxi from Mumbai Airport in advance.

Useful tips for getting a taxi from Mumbai Airport

  1. Black and yellow taxis are fitted with taximeters that will calculate your fare, whereas cool taxis are prepaid at the taxi kiosks in the Arrivals Hall.
  2. Wheelchair-accessible taxis are available on request. The best thing to do is report to the information desk at the airport or book your transport in advance to avoid delays.
  3. All payments must be made in the local currency – Indian Rupees (INR).
  4. Don’t accept a ride from a random driver inside the airport's Arrivals Halls. They are unlikely to be licensed and you could be overcharged.
  5. Booking a private transfer in advance during rush hour can save you time.
  6. Tipping is not obligatory but is always appreciated. In a taxi, rounding up to the nearest 10 or tipping your driver €0.50 (INR 20) is acceptable.
  7. If you’re traveling in a black and yellow taxi with a taximeter, ensure that your driver resets the meter before your ride begins.
  8. Though Mumbai taxi drivers speak English, it’s worth writing down your destination address to make communication easier.
  9. You typically can’t pay for your Mumbai Airport taxi by credit card. Therefore, we recommend carrying cash in the local currency to pay for your fare (if you haven’t prepaid already).
