Arriving in Mumbai from UAE: Force Tempo Traveller with driver

International flights arrive at Terminal 2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (BOM). Check your boarding pass on the day. Allow time for immigration and baggage, which can take an hour or more at busy times, and tell us when you will really be out.

Your driver waits at arrivals. If you are travelling with family, tell us the number of people and bags so we send the right size of vehicle.

India is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of the UAE all year, because neither uses daylight saving time. With a short flight and such a small shift, there is no jet lag to plan around, so you can start the same day.

Families flying from the UAE often travel as a group with a lot of luggage. Choose by passengers and bags together: the 9 seater and 12 seater suit small family groups with a suitcase each, and the 17 seater suits larger family groups.

If you are close to a vehicle’s capacity, go up a size.

Visa rules depend on your passport, not on the country you fly from. Check the current Indian rules for your nationality on the official Indian government e-Visa portal, and carry your passport and visa approval. Every booking includes a professional driver, so you do not need an international driving permit.

Most international visitors book a 12 seater or 15 seater for family groups and a Maharaja luxury tempo traveller for comfort-first trips. Smaller parties choose the 9 seater. Fares are quoted in Indian rupees with a written fare before you travel; see the full fleet and airport transfers.
