Chennai Airport Transportation

Just west of the seaside escape, Chennai International Airport is a great way to get to know the pristine beachside locale, whether you’re visiting for business or just on vacation with the family. Get where you need to be with ease, booking a private sedan, SUV, van, or bus for the option to come and go as you please, or consider the convenient services of a meet-and-greet, from the timely custom drop-offs of a shared ride van to on-the-go luxury only a limousine can provide.

MAA Transportation
Chennai International is also a major hub of public transportation. Get around by taking advantage of the on-site Minambakkam Train Station, or get around by utilizing the metro subway stop with the same name next-door. And don’t forget to take advantage of the always-available option of shuttles, booking with either area shuttle or sedan companies to ensure you get dropped off right in front of your hotel as well as at the time you need it, guaranteed.

Shared Ride Van
Those in need of a one-time drop-off shouldn’t look further than a shared ride van – book with local transfer service providers to make sure you get to 5-star stays like The Leela Palace and ITC Grand Chola without troubles, also considering huge amusement park resorts like the beautiful VGP Universal Kingdom.

Private Van
Carry up to a dozen passengers everywhere you go by reserving a private van for your travels, going through area shuttle providers to make sure each passenger gets their fill on fun, whether that means taking your time at the Click Art Museum or taking in the exotic tropics of Arignar Anna Zoological Park.

Private Sedan
Though the city is jam-packed with landmarks and modern getaways, finding a moment of peace is as easy as driving a couple miles. Do so by booking a private sedan from local executive sedan companies, finding ethereal lookouts at Palem Range as well as quaint views of the Bay of Bengal from the south side’s Kovalam Beach.

Local Personal Drivers
A great way to get into the underbelly of the region is by making sure you’ve got a local personal driver at your side. Look forward to the simplicity of the little things, whether that means finding the best seafood restaurants or the coolest street vendors to do some afternoon shopping, all by asking the right questions.

Private SUV
Have up to six passengers taken care of by booking a private SUV from area providers, looking forward to a range of family-friendly activities that include the famous Victory War Memorial and Chennai Rail Museum, both of which offer a slice of 20th-century Chennai life.

Taxi Cab
A city known for its heavy business due to countless convention centers, Chennai is a great place to take advantage of the speedy efficiency of a taxi. Book ahead of time to get ahead of the curve tomorrow, arriving to huge events by avoiding traffic, parking, and all potential pit stops in between.

Stretched Limousine
Experience Chennai’s opulent side with a stretched limousine as your horse & chariot, booking with local limo companies to have your chauffeur waiting outside baggage claim before you’ve even arrived. Choose between stylish eateries like Little North and Hamsa, afterward considering a cocktail at Hilton Chennai luxe lobby lounge.

Chennai Airport Shuttles

A super-sized facility with a lot to give back in terms of on-site and surrounding convenience, Chennai International is a huge airport that makes for perfect first impressions of the Tamil Nadu capital. Make sure you’re not left behind when you make it to the always-popular ground transportation area of the airport, booking a shuttle pick-up through either area shuttle or private SUV providers, taking advantage of custom drop-offs and timely pickups, whichever festive direction you’re headed.

Do a bit of research before getting a one-way trip to a particular part of town, whether that means considering what’s close to the central Thyagaraya Nagar District, home to a variety of shops & restaurants along the historic Ranganathan Street, or checking out the northwestern Anna Nagar neighborhood, famous for its quaint hotels and close access to the Chennai Rail Museum. Those in search of nothing more than a beachside escape should go casual in either the Adyar neighborhood or slightly more southern Palavakkam neighborhood, both of which offer a unique but colorful take on the Bay of Bengal.

Another great way to keep track of all the logistics is to keep vital shuttle info on your person, either by saving a photo of your reservation or printing out a confirmation email the moment it arrives. Another fun way to keep up with the boring stuff is to put a travel journal together, dedicating a couple pages for all things necessary and filling out all the rest with what you want. You can do the same with a hotel reservation to ensure everything is coordinated before you’ve arrived, from check-in time to pick-up location to everything in between.

Due to its close access to the city as well as several subway stations, finding something amazing can be extra simple for airport goers. Find an immediate sanctuary at Pallavaram Forest, located on the southeast side of the airport and offering serene trails that lead to a shrouded Buddhist temple.
