Shirdi to Thane cab: the route guide
Around 225 km separate Shirdi and Thane: close enough to cover in a morning, far enough that a bus or train means timetables, changes and carrying bags. A one-way cab takes you door to door on your own schedule.
Allow around 4 hours 30 minutes for the drive, plus time for a break or two. Fares start at ₹2,499 for a Hatchback and go up to ₹6,799 for the Tempo, and that is the price of the whole car, however many of you are in it. Fill the Tempo with 16 people and it works out to about ₹447 each, including GST.
In short: 225 km, about 4 hours 30 minutes, from ₹2,499 for the whole car.
What the Shirdi to Thane fare covers
The fare includes the car, the driver, fuel and the driver's allowance. Tolls and parking are paid on the way, at actual cost.
- The price is for the whole car and is fixed when you book; it does not change with traffic, time of day or the number of passengers.
- GST of 5% is added at checkout, and each car's fare breakdown above shows it before you pay.
- Distance added beyond the booked route is charged at ₹11 to ₹30 a km, depending on the car. A stop that adds no distance is not a detour.
- Nothing is charged for the car's journey back once it has dropped you.
Which car suits your group
Pick by the number of people first, then check the bags: a car that seats everyone but cannot take the luggage makes for an uncomfortable trip.

Tips for a smoother ride
- Count the bags before you choose. The booking form asks how many you have, so the car that turns up has room for them.
- Keep some money handy for the road. Tolls and parking are not in this fare; carry a little cash or a UPI app to pay on the way.
- Give an exact pickup point. A building name, gate number or landmark saves a phone call at the start of the trip.
- Use the note for the driver to mention a planned stop on the way or anything else they should know.
- Travelling in the monsoon? Between June and September rain can slow the highways, so add a little extra time.
- Share your trip details. The driver's name and cab number reach you by SMS before pickup; forward it to someone at home, especially for a late-night ride.
One way or round trip?
Both come with a driver; the difference is whether the car stays with you. A one-way cab drops you at Thane and heads back on its own, so you pay for one direction only. It suits anyone staying on, moving home or returning another way.
A round trip keeps the same car and driver with you and brings you back, which is the better booking for a day visit or a stay of a day or two.
Returning another day? One-way cabs from Thane to Shirdi start at ₹2,499, and you can see those fares here.
