Mumbai City Guide - airports

Mumbai International
Location: The airport is located 18 miles (29km) north of Mumbai.
Time: GMT +5.5.
Contacts: Tel: + 91 (0)22 836 6700.
Transfer City: Pre-paid taxis are available outside Arrivals (journey time approx 60 min).
Car rental: Car hire, with or without a driver, can be arranged in Arrivals, however due to the erratic nature of Indian driving self-drive cars are not advised.
Airport facilities: ATMs and bureaux de change are available in both terminals along with a number of bars, restaurants and shops. There are limited disabled facilities and travellers with special needs should advise their airline in advance. As with all Indian airports, travellers should be prepared for a certain amount of chaos; queues are long for immigration and the many security checks and endless uniformed staff stand around with no obvious purpose. The restaurants are best avoided and passengers are advised to take their own snacks.
