Force Urbania Rental meets visitors from the USA at Mumbai airport with a driver and a written fare. Flights from the US east coast to Mumbai take about 16 hours nonstop, and longer with a connection. You land in a city that is busy at almost every hour, so the first drive matters. This guide is about that drive and the first days after it.
Times below are typical, not guaranteed. Mumbai traffic changes the journey more than distance does, which is why we plan pickups around your real landing time.
Landing at Mumbai airport
Mumbai’s airport is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (BOM), and international flights arrive at Terminal 2. Check your boarding pass on the day.
Immigration and baggage can take an hour or more. Your driver waits at arrivals and tracks your flight, so a late landing does not change the plan.
The drive from the airport
The airport is in the north of the city, and most hotels are south of it. The drive often takes 45 minutes to two hours depending on the hour and the destination, and rain can make it slower still.
That range is why it helps to tell us your hotel before you land: the driver can pick the best route for the time of day, and you know what to expect.
Flights and the time difference
India is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of UTC with no daylight saving. From US Eastern time that is 9 hours 30 minutes in summer and 10 hours 30 minutes in winter. Build a slow first day around that.
Your first days in and around Mumbai
A local rental by the day suits Mumbai well, because one driver can take you between sights without parking or hailing a ride each time.
If you plan to travel on from Mumbai, tell us the destination and dates when you enquire. We do not publish Mumbai routes yet, so we quote them individually, and a single driver can cover the whole trip.
