Many transportation options are available, including:

Taxi

Taxis are readily available and the fastest transportation option. It takes around 20 minutes to reach the city center, depending on traffic conditions. Ride-hailing services are also available and can be a better alternative since regular taxis may lack taximeters and you may need to negotiate fares beforehand.

Car Rental

There are multiple car rental companies in the city center, most of which are local providers. Driving in Ahmedabad can be challenging for visitors due to heavy traffic and inconsistent adherence to traffic rules. Therefore, renting a car with a driver is often recommended. It takes about 20 minutes under normal traffic conditions.

Bus

Bus routes to the airport are operated by both the municipality and private companies. You can take bus routes 105 and 101 from Lal Darwaja Bus Station or bus routes 16 and 06 from the main railway station. The journey takes approximately 20 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Due to potential overcrowding, this option is not recommended for passengers with heavy luggage.
