Pleasant Pondicherry drive on ECR

“Lovely coastal drive to Pondicherry. The driver suggested a nice beachside breakfast stop. Took off half a star only because pickup was ten minutes late, but he called ahead to inform. Overall a good experience.”

The 165 km drive takes about 3 hr 15 min, depending on traffic, weather and how many breaks you take. Your driver plans sensible stops so you arrive relaxed.

Is this a one-way fare or a round trip?

What if my flight is delayed?

Just share your flight number when you book. Your driver tracks the flight and waits at arrivals with a name board — a delay never means a missed pickup or an extra charge.
