Heading from Shirdi to Pune? The distance is about 190 km and you're looking at around 4 hours in the car. The road follows NH48 or NH4 (the western Golden Quadrilateral leg) for the bulk of the journey. Sedan pricing starts at ₹2,552, and there are larger options for families.
190 km separates Shirdi from Pune, and you're looking at roughly 4 hours of road time on NH48 or NH4 (the western Golden Quadrilateral leg). The expressway cuts through the Western Ghats foothills, one of the nicer drives in the region. You pay 25% online to lock the cab, the rest in cash or UPI at the end. No surge, no surprises. There's a Sedan for couples, an Innova for families, and a Tempo Traveller for the whole party.
Route notes, tolls and stops
1 toll plaza (around Rs. 160 total). All tolls and state taxes are included in your Sairgah upfront fare, so you pay nothing extra to the driver. Coastal and ghat stretches can be slippery in the monsoon (July to September); drivers plan accordingly.
Sedan, SUV or Tempo Traveller?
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹2,552. Step up to an SUV like an Innova or Ertiga if you've got six people or a lot of bags, or a Tempo Traveller (12–17 seats) for bigger groups and wedding or corporate travel. Every vehicle is AC, cleaned before the trip, and driven by a verified, GPS-tracked driver. Pickup is available from surrounding areas too — Shrirampur, Kopargaon, Rahata and the like.
Pricing — no surprises at drop
The number you see when you book is the number you pay at the end. That covers fuel, toll tax, state entry tax, the driver's meals, GST and parking — built up from the 190 km distance at the vehicle's per-km rate plus the driver's daily allowance. There's no "toll extra, sir" at the end of the trip. Short routes may carry a minimum-km floor.
One-way vs round trip on this route
Two ways to book: a one-way drop, where you're not charged for the driver's return if they can pick up another fare back; or a round trip, where the driver waits and brings you home. One-way usually costs less if you're flying or training back. Round trip makes sense if you want the car with you at Pune for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
What you get: drivers who've actually done this route before, live GPS tracking, free cancellation up to four hours out, and a fare that doesn't change between booking and drop. Book here or ping us on WhatsApp.
