Getting from Chennai Airport (MAA) to Puducherry takes about 2h 25min by car on an empty road (2h 25min – 3h in heavy traffic) over 148 km via NH32 and SHU88. Our private transfer costs €90 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €130 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the public arrivals area of the terminal your flight lands at — Anna International Terminal for international flights, Kamaraj Domestic Terminal for domestic flights — after baggage reclaim and, on international flights, customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Puducherry, still widely called Pondicherry, is a coastal Union Territory town south of Chennai, known for its former French quarter and seaside promenade. The road trip runs either down the East Coast Road (ECR) along the coast via Mahabalipuram and Marakkanam, or inland on the GST Road (NH 32/old NH 45) via Chengalpattu and Tindivanam. Both routes have toll plazas, and entering Puducherry means crossing from Tamil Nadu into the Union Territory.
The town is split by a canal: the French quarter, or White Town, lies between the canal and the sea, with Beach Road along Promenade Beach, while the Tamil quarter with markets and the main bus stand lies to the west. Auroville is about ten kilometres north of town off the ECR. The beach road is closed to vehicles in the evenings, so drop-offs are made on the parallel streets near the hotel.
Public transport: No direct public transport from Chennai Airport to Puducherry; the usual combination is a change in Chennai to an express train from Chennai Egmore or a long-distance bus heading south.
