Patiala to Delhi Airport Taxi Service

From Patiala, the quickest way to Delhi is the short run to Rajpura, where the car joins NH44 and stays on it nearly to the airport. Door to terminal it is roughly 250 km and about 5 hours, which means an evening pickup covers most late-night international departures.

Patiala's two airport choices

Patiala is about an hour and a half from Chandigarh airport and about 5 hours from Delhi. For a domestic trip or a flight to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, Chandigarh is often enough, and our Patiala to Chandigarh airport cab handles that. For Canada, the USA, the UK, Europe or Australia, Delhi's Terminal 3 has far more flights and airlines, so most overseas travellers from Patiala make the longer drive.

Who we drive from Patiala

• Families from the city and the villages around Nabha, Samana and Rajpura, flying out to visit children settled abroad.
• Students from Punjabi University, Thapar Institute and the city's colleges heading abroad for further study, or flying home to other states.
• Visitors who came for a wedding, or to pay respects at Gurdwara Dukh Niwaran Sahib, and now need to catch a flight back.
• Government and business travellers on domestic trips where the Delhi timing works better.

The route

Patiala to Rajpura is a short drive. At Rajpura the car joins NH44 and soon crosses into Haryana near Shambhu. From there it runs through Ambala, Karnal, Panipat and Sonipat. Murthal, near Sonipat, is where most people stop for tea or a quick meal. In Delhi, the driver picks whichever approach to the airport is clearest at that hour.

Driving at night on this stretch

Most Patiala departures for long-haul flights happen in the evening, which means the car is on NH44 after dark. The highway carries heavy truck traffic at night, especially around Rajpura and the Shambhu border. Our drivers know this stretch well and keep a steady pace rather than racing. If anyone wants to sleep, an Innova's middle row is the better choice; the driver will keep the music low and the stops short unless you ask for more.

Setting the pickup time

Plan to reach Terminal 3 about 3 hours before an international flight, and about 2 hours before a domestic one. From Patiala, allow around 6 hours from pickup to terminal. For example:

• International at 2 AM: leave Patiala around 5 PM.
• International at 5 AM: leave around 8 PM.
• Domestic at 9 AM: leave around 1 AM.

Flights change, so send us the flight number and we will confirm the timing a day before.

Pickup across Patiala

We collect from anywhere in the city, including the old city around Qila Mubarak, Leela Bhawan, the bus stand and the railway station, the university areas, and housing colonies on the outskirts. Villages in the district are covered too; send a WhatsApp location so the driver can find you.

Car sizes

For one or two passengers with two bags, a Swift Dzire, Honda Amaze or Toyota Etios is plenty. Families flying abroad with four or five large suitcases need the space of a Toyota Innova, Innova Crysta or Mahindra Marazzo. Groups seeing someone off can travel in a 12-seater or 17-seater Tempo Traveller. Every car is air-conditioned.

What to have ready when you call

At Delhi airport

The driver drops you at the departure gate for your terminal and helps with the luggage. Family can ride back to Patiala in the same car. If you are receiving someone, the driver waits at arrivals, and you get his name and number on WhatsApp before the trip.
