After a long flight, the last thing you want is to search for a taxi. A pre-booked, chauffeur-driven car means someone is ready when you land at Chennai International Airport. This guide explains how an airport transfer in Chennai with Sri Ram Cars works, and how to choose the right car.
Quick answer
- Share your flight number when you book, so the chauffeur can track the flight.
- Early or late landing? The pickup time moves with the actual landing time.
- After you land, the chauffeur calls you and guides you to the car at the arrival pickup area.
- Choose by group size: a sedan for 1 to 3, an MPV for families, a van for groups.
- Booking for a guest? Share their name and number, and we coordinate with them directly.
How a chauffeur-driven airport pickup works
- Book: send the date, flight number, number of travellers and bags, and the drop address.
- We track the flight: the chauffeur follows the flight status and adjusts the pickup time.
- You land: the chauffeur calls you once you are out and guides you to the car.
- Ride: a clean, air-conditioned car takes you straight to your hotel, home or office.

Landing in Chennai soon?
Send your flight number, the number of travellers and the drop address. We confirm the car and the exact price before you book.
Booking a pickup for a guest or a delegation
Companies and families often book pickups for someone else: a client, a speaker or relatives arriving for a wedding. Share the guest’s name, phone number and flight, and we coordinate with them directly. For regular company travel, see our corporate car rental service.
Timing and traffic tips
Chennai traffic changes a lot through the day, so allow extra time for drops to the airport, especially in the morning and evening rush. Many international flights land late at night or very early in the morning. Tell us the flight when you book, and we plan the pickup around the actual landing time.
Tip: for departures, share your flight time and we suggest a pickup time that leaves enough margin for traffic and check-in.
Beyond the airport
Many travellers keep the car for the rest of the day for meetings, or continue straight to Pondicherry, Mahabalipuram or Tirupati. See outstation car rental for trips from Chennai.
