From abroad

Flying in? The house is already at the gate.

Mumbai is kinder when somebody is waiting. Write to the house from any number in the world, tell us the flight, and the rest is ours: the flight watched from take-off, a sarathi at arrivals with a board in your name, a cool quiet cabin, and a fare written to you in rupees before you board. No passport, no deposit, no document.

I

Write from any number

WhatsApp +91 81202 86868 from your own number, with its country code. A person answers between 7 AM and 11 PM India time (UTC+5:30), in writing, so there is a record on both sides. On the road with you, at any hour.

II

The fare, in writing, in rupees

One figure for the whole journey — the car, your sarathi, fuel, tolls, parking at the terminal and GST — written to you on WhatsApp before you travel. It does not move on the day. Cards issued abroad, Visa, Mastercard and American Express, settle it through Razorpay's secure window; your bank shows the rupee figure in your own currency.

III

Met inside arrivals

Your sarathi stands past customs with a board in your name and sends his photograph and the car's number before you land. After an international landing the first sixty minutes of waiting are complimentary; a delayed flight simply re-times the car.

IV

Two airports, forty kilometres apart

BOM is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International at Santacruz. NMI is the new Navi Mumbai International at Ulwe, across the harbour. Read the ticket once more, or send the flight number and the house reads it for you.

V

What nobody asks you for

Not a passport, not a deposit, not a photograph of a card. A name, a number and a flight are enough. If you would rather give an email than a number, that is fine too.

VI

On the way

Still water, chilled, in the door. A charger for your phone. An umbrella in the rains. Tell the house in advance if there is something you will need on landing — a SIM, a child seat, flowers for the person you are meeting — and it is in the car. Your sarathi speaks English and Hindi; tell the house if another language would be a kindness.

Inside every written figure: the car, your sarathi, fuel, every toll, parking at both ends and GST. Nothing is added on the day, and no meter runs.

The days around a wedding, a conference, a homecoming

A car that stays with you for the days you are here is written as one figure, garage to garage, with your sarathi’s halt and meals inside it. For a wedding party the house carries guests from several hotels to one porch and home again, by name. For a company the business page explains the monthly account.

Tipping

Not expected, and never asked for. If you would like to thank your sarathi, the house passes it on in full.

Questions guests ask

Can I book a Mumbai chauffeur from outside India?
Yes. Write to +91 81202 86868 on WhatsApp from any number in the world, or use the reservation page. The house replies in writing between 7 AM and 11 PM India time.
Can I pay with a foreign card?
Yes. The written fare is settled through Razorpay, which accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards issued abroad. The charge is in rupees; your bank converts it.
Do you need my passport?
No. The house never asks for a passport, a deposit or a copy of a document. A name, a number and a flight are enough.
How will I find the driver at Mumbai airport?
Your sarathi waits inside arrivals with a board in your name, and sends you his photograph and the car's number before you land. International arrivals have sixty minutes of complimentary waiting.
Is the fare in dollars, pounds or dirhams?
It is written in rupees, the currency the house charges in. You see the figure before you travel, and your card statement shows it in your own currency.
Which Mumbai airport will I land at?
Most international flights still land at BOM, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International. Some, since July 2026, land at NMI in Navi Mumbai. The ticket says; so does the house, if you send the flight number.
Can the car stay with me for several days?
Yes. A car for the days you are here, with the same sarathi, is written as one figure before you arrive.
