Timing your Puducherry Airport (PNY) ride
Reach the airport at least two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international one; tell us the flight time and we will work out the leave time.
The streets around White Town are narrow and often one-way, so we pick up from the nearest drivable point and call you with the exact spot.
- We run 24 hours, so 3 AM and midnight pickups are routine.
- Share your flight number or time in the booking and we will confirm the driver the evening before.
- Pickups from the airport: the driver waits at arrivals and calls you when you land.
- Luggage-heavy? An SUV or Innova takes more bags than a Sedan.
