Chennai Airport Transfer Guide 2025

How business travellers shave 20 minutes off every arrival with Sigivahan

Why this guide matters

Chennai International Airport now handles 22% more weekly landings than it did pre-pandemic. That growth is fuelled by early morning business routes, weekend holidayers, and returning expats, all converging between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. The result? Congested pickup lanes, unpredictable porter availability, and surge pricing across ride-hailing apps. Sigivahan keeps arrival handovers predictable by marrying live flight data with buffer dispatching.

Arrival playbook

  • Assign a dedicated chauffeur 45 minutes before touchdown and push a live-tracking link to the passenger.
  • Keep a meet-and-greet executive at the arrival gate for C-suite teams; it reduces dwell time by 11 minutes.
  • Use Sigivahan's baggage-watch workflow to start billing only after the traveller exits customs, eliminating disputes.

What to budget

Airport transfers average ₹1,650 for a sedan and ₹2,450 for an executive MUV when booked with a 12-hour notice. Include tolls (₹200) and parking buffer (₹180) for late-night pickups. CFOs prefer our consolidated invoicing that tags each ride by cost centre, meaning finance teams close their month-end reports 3 days faster.

Bonus checklist

  • Preload guest Wi-Fi credentials into the chauffeur briefing sheet.
  • Stock mint-infused water; it consistently scores 4.9/5 in rider feedback.
  • Push an automated SMS to the admin once the guest boards, reducing follow-up calls.

Chennai arrivals won't slow down in 2025. The travellers who glide through are those who treat their airport transfer as the first meeting of the day—and build it with Sigivahan.
