Landing waves, and what the drive is like at that hour
Flights from Europe reach Mumbai in two waves. Most land late at night or in the small hours, and London has a second wave in the morning. The night landings make for the quickest drive to Pune of the whole day.
The night wave runs from about 11:20 PM (Paris) to 2:50 AM (London), with Munich at 11:50 PM, Amsterdam at midnight and Frankfurt about 1 AM. Out of the terminal 45 minutes after landing, you are on an empty expressway: land from Frankfurt at 1 AM and you can be in Pune between 4:15 AM and 4:45 AM. London's morning wave lands between about 7:30 and 11:40 AM. Those pickups leave Mumbai into the morning rush and then the Sion–Panvel traffic, so a 9 AM landing means reaching Pune in the early afternoon. Turkish flights from Istanbul land around 5:15 AM, just ahead of the morning build-up.
When flights from UK and Europe land at T2, and when you reach Pune
Book the pickup 45 minutes after the scheduled landing, for immigration, bags and customs. The drive to Pune then takes 2.5 to 3 hours.

From the aircraft to the car: immigration, belts, customs, meeting your driver
- Immigration. Have your passport and visa ready, plus the e-Arrival card QR code if you travel on a foreign passport. Indian passport and OCI holders enrolled in the government's Fast Track Immigration programme (FTI-TTP) can use the e-gates.
- Baggage. The screens in the hall show your belt.
- Customs. Use the green channel if you have nothing to declare and the red channel if you do. Under the Baggage Rules, 2026, goods worth up to ₹75,000 come in duty-free for residents, tourists of Indian origin and foreigners on a non-tourist visa, and up to ₹25,000 for tourists of foreign origin, plus one new laptop for each passenger aged 18 or over. Up to 2 litres of alcohol and up to 100 cigarettes can come under that allowance, and family members cannot pool their allowances (CBIC traveller guide).
- Arrival hall. Walk out of the arrival hall to the multi-level car park, where the airport keeps pre-arranged transport.
- Level 5, general parking. Your driver meets you here. Call him on the number we sent on WhatsApp and he will guide you to the car.
How long from landing to the car? Mumbai airport does not publish an immigration time. We plan 45 minutes from the scheduled landing to walking out of the arrival hall, which covers immigration, the belt and customs on a busy international bank. If you travel on a foreign or OCI passport, file the e-Arrival card before you fly: travel guides report that passengers who arrive without one are sent to kiosks near immigration to fill it in, which adds time at busy hours.
Give us a pickup time about 45 minutes after your scheduled landing, and your flight number. We track the flight, and if it lands late the pickup moves with it. The first 30 minutes of waiting are free, counted from the scheduled pickup time. The driver's name, phone number and car number reach you on WhatsApp before pickup. Flow based on the CSMIA arrival guide.
Paperwork before you fly, and other tips
- Night landings are routine for us: about half of our T2 pickups happen between 10 PM and 6 AM, at the same fixed fare as the daytime.
- Foreign passport holders, OCI cardholders included, must file an e-Arrival card online within 72 hours before landing, on indianvisaonline.gov.in/earrival or the Su-Swagatam app. One form covers up to five family members. That includes British and European passport holders of Indian origin.
Which car for your bags
Orbitmiles measures these in the real cars rather than quoting boot litres. A “large check-in bag” is a standard 23 kg airline case; a “cabin bag” is a 7 kg carry-on.

| Citroën EC3 from ₹2,700 | 4 | 2 large check-in bags + 2 cabin bags | Best for light luggage, solo travellers and day trips. Fits 2 large check-in bags plus 2 cabin bags. For 4 large check-in bags, choose the Kia Clavis EV. |
| MG ZS EV from ₹3,200 | 4 | 2 large check-in bags + 2 cabin bags | Best for business travel and couples who want a premium SUV. Fits 2 large check-in bags plus 2 cabin bags. For 4 large check-in bags, choose the Kia Clavis EV. |

Flying in from UK and Europe: common questions
About 45 minutes after the scheduled landing, so 3:35 AM. With an empty road you should be in Pune between 6:05 AM and 6:35 AM.
The pickup falls after midnight: 12:25 AM, next day. Book that date and time, add the flight number in the notes, and we check it against the flight so the driver comes on the right night.
We track the flight number you give us, and the scheduled pickup moves with a delay, so the 30 free minutes of waiting start from the new time. If the airline puts you on a different flight, send us the new flight number on WhatsApp and we move the booking to it. Cancellation is free more than 4 hours before pickup.
At Level 5 general parking in the T2 multi-level car park. After customs, walk out of the arrival hall to the car park and call the driver on the number we sent on WhatsApp before pickup; he will guide you to the car. He does not come inside the terminal.
Night drives are routine for us: about half of our T2 pickups happen between 10 PM and 6 AM. Our drivers are background-checked, the driver's name, phone number and car number reach you on WhatsApp before pickup, so you know who is coming, and the car goes straight from Level 5 to your door with only the stops you ask for.
No. The fare is the same at 2 AM as at 2 PM: fixed, from ₹2,700, with the expressway toll included. Our three electric cars pay ₹0 toll because they are exempt in Maharashtra, and the hybrid Innova Hycross's toll is already inside its fare.
Yes. The fare includes a 15-minute refreshment break if you want one, and the expressway has food courts along the way. See expressway food courts and rest stops.
The driver's name, phone number and car number reach you on WhatsApp before pickup, so save them before you fly.
