About This Trip

This is a long haul: 1,737 km between Mumbai and Shimla, with about 34 hrs 44 mins of driving. We strongly recommend splitting the journey with an overnight stop instead of doing it in one stretch, since a route this long is simply safer and more comfortable when broken into two manageable days rather than pushed through all at once. Our fare table shows exact per-km pricing across all car types, with tolls and interstate permit charges itemized separately in your final breakdown. GPS-tracked cars and verified drivers are standard throughout. For a journey this long, the Crysta offers the best comfort, with the Sedan workable for smaller budgets, for each trip taken.

It's also a comfortable option for families, senior citizens, or anyone carrying extra luggage, since you're not restricted to what you can carry on public transport. That said, if you're leaving from Mumbai during peak hours, factor in an extra 30-45 minutes to clear city traffic before you hit the highway.

If you'd rather not plan the Shimla leg yourself, check out our ready-made travel packages, which bundle the cab with stays and sightseeing options so you don't have to coordinate everything separately.
