One way taxi
Chennai to Hyderabad cab, one way
Chennai to Hyderabad is a full day on the road, about 630 km, and a one-way drop taxi is how a lot of families move between the two cities: one car, all the luggage, no train waitlist. You pay for the one side you travel, and the driver's return isn't billed to you.
We'll pick you up from your home or office anywhere in Chennai, Chennai Airport, Central or Egmore station, Tambaram, Velachery or OMR, and drop you at any address in Hyderabad or Secunderabad: the airport at Shamshabad, HITEC City, Gachibowli, Kukatpally, Dilsukhnagar or your home.
Every car is air-conditioned, cleaned before the trip and driven by someone who knows this road. The fare is fixed per kilometre and confirmed before you leave, with no surge and no night charge added at the end.

Route
The road from Chennai to Hyderabad
- Chennai
- Nellore
- Ongole
- Addanki
- Miryalaguda
- Narketpally
- Hyderabad
The usual route is NH16 to Ongole, then across through Addanki and Miryalaguda to the Vijayawada–Hyderabad highway: about 630 km, or 11 – 12 hours with breaks. Via Vijayawada on NH16 and NH65 is about 690 km but four-lane the whole way, and some drivers prefer it for night runs. Because the trip crosses a state border, the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana permits apply and are added at actual cost.

Tips for the trip
- Leave Chennai by 4–5 a.m. to reach Hyderabad by evening, with breakfast at Nellore and lunch near Ongole or Addanki.
- Shifting house or carrying a lot of luggage? An Innova or a carrier on the SUV makes the trip much easier.
- For elders or small children, consider a night halt at Vijayawada and finish the drive the next morning.
- Tolls are paid by FASTag and the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana permits are added at actual cost, so there's nothing to pay on the way.
