Lonavala is no ordinary hill station, but a weekend getaway and an absolute favourite amongst Maharashtrians. Located in the Sahyadri mountains on the Mumbai Pune Expressway, just 65 km from Pune; it attracts travellers from everywhere, honeymooners from different corners of India and trekking enthusiasts or school children, but especially on occasions when the monsoon rains are at their peak and the entire landscape around the region looks even more spectacular with its waterfalls and ghats.
But popularity also brings problems. App-based cabs apply heavy surge pricing on Friday evenings and Saturdays. Shared buses get packed well in advance. Last-minute travel plans fall apart. Our Pune to Lonavala taxi service is built to solve all of this — no surge, no waiting in queues, no uncertainty. Whether you need a Pune to Lonavala cab for a solo trip, a private family outing, or an office team picnic, booking takes under 5 minutes — just call or WhatsApp us directly.
The road journey to Lonavala from Pune is 65 kms on Mumbai Pune Expressway(NH48) and it takes about 1-1.5 hours normally with a taxi-this being the shortest and most accessible hill station vacation destination from Pune. The expressway is a wide, toll gate facilitated highway with clear, smooth lanes, not many traffic signals and has great Sahyadri sights throughout on your uphill ride.
Upon alighting the expressway, it takes you a very short part of the old Pune-Mumbai road into the Lonavala town. While on the old highway you'll pass through places such as the Khopoli exit, the famous Bhor Ghat region, the viewing points before Khandala. Our drivers know both the expressway and the old highway perfectly and can structure the drive to your tastes or add a scenic ride if you like.
In case your point of origin is west Pune (Hinjewadi, Baner, Wakad, Aundh), we factor in an extra 20 to 30 mins for your ride on the city roads to the expressway. However if your picking up point is Pune Airport or a very near to the express way entry point like Katraj, Warje, Swargate then we quickly reach to highway and accordingly your driver departure timing fixed by us.

This route connects a busy city with a beloved hill station — and the travellers on it are as varied as the reasons they go.
Lonavala turns into a lush, waterfall paradise from June to September that people from Pune adore. So, what’s the catch? Nearly every app-based cab you call on rainy Friday evenings triples its rates. This is where our Pune to Lonavala cab wins – a fixed price, rain or shine. Once you’ve been stung by surge pricing, you rarely revert to using app cabs for this particular route.
Many IT companies based in Pune organize weekend team outings and offsite meetings in Lonavala's resort and conference facilities. Arranging transportation for 8-20 individuals is quite a task unless you can get it arranged all on one call. Our Tempo Traveller & multi-cab option allows the entire team to travel together – and the travel desk of the concerned company doesn’t have to chase multiple drivers the day of the event.

Lonavala is the starting point for treks to Rajmachi Fort, Lohagad, Visapur, & Tikona, some of Maharashtra's most well-known trekking spots.

Real experiences from real travellers who've done this route with Tap2Tour.
"Booked a one way cab from Pune to Lonavala on a Saturday morning during monsoon. Every Uber was showing 3x surge. Tap2Tour quoted the same rate as always — driver was on time, Dzire was clean, and we reached Bhushi Dam without any stress. Exactly what we needed."
"Our office team of 9 used their Tempo Traveller for a Lonavala offsite. One cab, everyone together, no splitting into groups. Driver waited at the resort all day and brought us back in the evening. Highly professional, would book again for the next team outing."
"Booked an Innova for 6 of us — parents, kids, and in-laws — for a family trip to Lonavala. The driver was patient, knew all the good stops, and made the ghat section feel very safe. My parents especially appreciated how smooth and comfortable the whole journey was. Best Lonavala cab service we've tried."
