About This Route
Heading back to Chennai after a Puducherry break? The Pondicherry to Chennai drive follows the scenic East Coast Road along the Bay of Bengal, and a private cab lets you leave when you are ready rather than around bus or train timings. TaxiMint is based in Puducherry, so this is the journey we arrange most often.
Most bookings on this route are a one-way drop for the return leg — you pay for one side only — with the drop at a Chennai address, at Chennai Central or Egmore for an onward train, or at Chennai International Airport (MAA) for a flight. Share your pickup point in Puducherry and the TaxiMint team confirms availability and fare by call or WhatsApp.
For a Chennai Airport drop, tell the team your flight time when they call and the pickup is planned with enough margin for the road and for check-in. Two roads carry this traffic: the East Coast Road along the coast through Mahabalipuram, or NH32 inland through Tindivanam, which is usually the quicker of the two — the driver takes the one that suits your timing. A sedan handles a couple with flight baggage; choose a seven-seater for a family with several bags.
- Pickup from White Town, the Ashram quarter, Lawspet, Muthialpet and Auroville, and from hotels and guesthouses across Puducherry.
- One-way drop for the return leg to Chennai — pay one side only.
- Drop at Chennai International Airport (MAA), timed to your flight.
- Drop at Chennai Central or Egmore for onward trains.
- East Coast Road along the coast, or the faster inland NH32 via Tindivanam.
