Early airport drop, no stress

“I had a 6am flight from Coimbatore. Driver confirmed the night before and was waiting outside at 3:45am sharp. Smooth ride, polite, and the fare was exactly what was quoted on WhatsApp. This is how airport taxis should work.”

Sorted our whole TN temple trip from abroad

“As an NRI I was nervous arranging transport from Dubai. One WhatsApp number handled everything — Trichy airport pickup, the Chettinad and Thanjavur temples, then a Madurai drop. Drivers were on time every single day.”

Chennai Airport to Thanjavur taxi — FAQs

Common questions about fares, timing and what's included.

How much does a Chennai Airport to Thanjavur taxi cost?

A one-way Chennai Airport to Thanjavur taxi starts from ₹5,230 in a sedan, with SUVs and Innovas priced a little higher. The fare is fixed for the 345 km trip — tolls and driver allowance included — and confirmed on WhatsApp before you travel.

How long does the Chennai Airport to Thanjavur journey take?

The 345 km drive takes about 7 hr, 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?

This is a one-way drop, so you only pay for the Chennai Airport–Thanjavur direction plus a modest driver allowance — far cheaper than a round trip if you aren't returning the same car. Round trips can also be arranged on request.

What types of cars are available?

You can choose a sedan (4 seats) for couples, an SUV or Innova (6–7 seats) for families and luggage, or a Tempo Traveller (12 seats) for groups. Tell us your passenger count on WhatsApp and we'll suggest the right vehicle.

Are tolls, parking and driver bata included?

Yes. The fare we quote is all-inclusive — tolls, parking and the driver's bata are built in, along with the airport entry fee. There are no extra charges at the end of the 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.
