Need a cab from Ahmedabad to Surat today, tomorrow, or for a fixed date next month? Krishna Cab Services runs one-way and round-trip taxis on this route every day, with sedans, SUVs, and Innova Crysta cars ready for pickup from your home, office, the airport, or the railway station. Fares are fixed before you travel, drivers know the NH-48 route well, and bookings can be done by phone, WhatsApp, or through our online form.
If you’re comparing prices, checking travel time, or just want to know what’s included in the fare, everything you need is on this page. Book once you’re ready, or read on first.
This is one of the more travelled intercity routes in Gujarat, connecting the state’s largest city to its diamond and textile hub. Business travellers use it for same-day meetings, families use it for weekend visits, and a good number of passengers use it as a connector to catch a flight or train out of Surat. Whatever the reason, the requirements are usually the same: a car that shows up on time, a driver who knows the way, and a fare that doesn’t change at the last minute.
We’ve been running taxis on Gujarat’s intercity routes for years, and Ahmedabad to Surat is one of the busiest ones we handle. It’s a route with heavy corporate traffic, a steady flow of families visiting relatives, and travellers connecting to Surat’s textile and diamond markets, so we keep a full fleet ready rather than booking cars on demand from a third party.
Every trip includes a driver who knows the highway, GST-compliant invoicing if you need it for business travel, and a fare that’s confirmed before the car leaves. No last-minute add-ons at drop-off. If tolls or parking apply, we tell you upfront, not after.
You can book a sedan for two to three people, an SUV for a family with luggage, or an Innova Crysta if you’re travelling in a group of six. All cars are cleaned between trips and checked for maintenance on a regular schedule, not just when something breaks.
Fare depends on the car you choose and whether you’re booking one way or round trip. Here’s a general idea of what to expect:
Vehicle Type | One Way Fare (Approx.) | Round Trip Fare (Approx.) | Seating |
Sedan (Dzire/Etios) | ₹3,000 – ₹3,500 | ₹5,500 – ₹6,500 | 4 |
SUV (Ertiga) | ₹3,800 – ₹4,300 | ₹7,000 – ₹8,000 | 6 |
Innova Crysta | ₹4,500 – ₹5,200 | ₹8,500 – ₹9,500 | 6-7 |
These are approximate figures — actual fare depends on your pickup point, the date you’re travelling, and whether you need the driver to wait at the destination. Toll charges and parking are usually billed separately unless you’ve booked an all-inclusive package. Ask for the exact quote when you call, and we’ll confirm it in writing over WhatsApp before you pay anything.
Night travel (after 10 PM or before 6 AM) may carry a small additional driver allowance. We’ll mention this at the time of booking, not add it as a surprise later.
The distance between Ahmedabad and Surat is roughly 265 kilometres by road. On a normal day, with a couple of short stops, the drive takes about 4 to 4.5 hours. During monsoon season or heavy weekend traffic near Bharuch, it can stretch closer to 5 hours.
Early morning departures (before 7 AM) tend to be the fastest, since you avoid both city traffic at the start and the industrial belt traffic that builds up through the afternoon.
If you’re timing a connection — a flight out of Surat, or a meeting at a fixed hour — we’d suggest building in a 30 to 45 minute buffer beyond the standard estimate. Traffic near the Bharuch bridge and the outskirts of Vadodara is the part most likely to slow things down, especially between 5 PM and 8 PM.
The most common route runs from Ahmedabad through Anand, Vadodara, and Bharuch, joining NH-48 for most of the stretch before entering Surat. It’s a well-maintained highway with regular fuel stations, food stops, and washroom breaks along the way, which makes it comfortable even for longer family trips.
If you’d like to stop for food, Vadodara and Bharuch both have reliable highway dhabas and restaurants that our drivers are familiar with. Just mention it when you book, or tell the driver directly once you’re on the road — there’s no extra charge for a reasonable stop.
Not sure whether to book one way or round trip? It depends on your plan.
| One Way Taxi | Round Trip Taxi |
Best for | Single trip, different return plans (train, flight, or staying longer) | Same-day or short return visits |
Driver allowance | Not applicable | Applicable if outstation overnight |
Cost per km | Slightly higher | Lower overall if return is planned |
Flexibility | High — no return commitment | Fixed return date needed |
If you’re visiting Surat for a single meeting and flying out from there, a one-way cab makes sense. If you’re going for a day trip or a short family visit and coming back the same route, round trip usually works out cheaper.
Vehicle | Ideal For | Luggage Space | AC |
Sedan (Dzire, Etios) | Solo travellers, couples, small families | 2 medium bags | Yes |
SUV (Ertiga) | Families of 4-6 | 3-4 medium bags | Yes |
Innova Crysta | Corporate groups, larger families | 4-5 bags | Yes |
For business travel, most clients prefer the Innova Crysta or Ertiga since they offer more legroom for a 4-hour ride. Families with kids often go with the SUV for the extra space. If you’re travelling light and just need to get from point A to point B, the sedan is the most economical choice.
There’s no shortage of taxi options between Ahmedabad and Surat, so here’s why people book with us specifically.
Our drivers aren’t hired for a single trip and forgotten — they’re regulars who’ve driven this exact stretch dozens of times and know where traffic builds up, where to stop for a clean washroom, and how to time an airport drop so you’re not cutting it close.
Pricing is transparent from the first call. What we quote is what you pay, minus any toll or parking that we flag in advance. If there’s a GST invoice needed for corporate reimbursement, we provide it without you having to ask twice.
We’re reachable 24×7 for booking, and cars are available for early morning and late-night pickups, which matters if you’re catching a flight out of Surat or coming in on a late train to Ahmedabad.
Landing at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport and need a direct taxi to Surat? We track flight arrival times, so if your flight is delayed, your driver waits without extra charge for a reasonable window. Pickup is from the arrivals gate, and the car is confirmed with driver details and vehicle number sent to your phone before you land.
This works both ways — if you’re flying out of Ahmedabad after arriving from Surat, or need a drop from Surat straight to the airport, the same fixed-fare, no-surprise approach applies.
For companies sending employees between Ahmedabad and Surat regularly, we offer monthly billing instead of paying per trip, GST invoices for every ride, and priority booking so a car is available even on short notice.
If your company has recurring travel on this route — say, weekly visits to a Surat manufacturing unit or client office — it’s worth setting up a corporate account rather than booking fresh each time. We can also assign the same trusted driver for repeat trips if that’s preferred.
If you’re travelling beyond business, Surat has a few spots worth the detour. The Dumas Beach area is known for its black sand and evening food stalls. Sarthana Nature Park is a good stop if you’re travelling with kids. The Surat Castle and the old city’s Diamond Market area give a sense of the city’s trading history, especially if you’re curious about how Surat became one of India’s textile and diamond hubs.
Our drivers can suggest a short detour to any of these if your schedule allows, without adding significant time to the main trip. Most of these spots sit within 20 to 30 minutes of each other, so a half-day extension to your trip is usually enough to see two or three without rushing.
Booking is straightforward:
Advance booking isn’t required for most trips, but if you’re travelling during a festival period or need an early morning slot, booking a day ahead helps us guarantee the car and driver you want.
Cancellations are accepted, though we’d appreciate a heads-up at least a couple of hours before pickup so we can release the driver for another booking.
