Quick answer: Delhi is about 248 km from Jolly Grant Airport and takes 4.5 to 5 hours now that the expressway is open end to end. The airport sits 20 km east of Dehradun, so joining the expressway at Ganeshpur is quick. We track your flight, meet you at arrivals, and drop at IGI Airport, a railway station, or any Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida or Ghaziabad address on a fixed one-way fare. Fares depend on vehicle and whether you need a one-way drop or a round trip — the table below is live from our rate desk. Call 7830211223 to confirm.

Two kinds of traveller. People landing at Jolly Grant with a same-day connection they would rather not risk — a Delhi international flight late that night, or a train from New Delhi station. And people who came up to the hills by air and want to go back to Delhi by road because the expressway now makes it a straightforward afternoon. A taxi means no second check-in, no bag limits, and a car at the other end that goes to your door.
The route joins the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway near Ganeshpur, crosses the Shivalik elevated corridor through the Rajaji forest edge, and runs on through Saharanpur, Shamli and Baghpat to Akshardham. Tolls are charged at actuals and shown separately on the bill.
This route runs all year and at all hours. For an IGI connection we suggest landing at Jolly Grant at least six and a half hours before your Delhi departure: five on the road plus the city and the airport. Night runs are fine; the expressway is lit and patrolled. The only slow patch is the Delhi end in the evening peak, which we plan around.
Fog in December and January affects the last 40 km into Delhi more than the expressway itself; we slow down rather than stop, and tell you at pickup if the day looks foggy.
Every quote is for the whole car, confirmed on the phone before pickup. Nothing is added afterwards that was not on this list.
Full terms, including refunds and waiting time, are on the cancellation policy page.
No bus or train serves Jolly Grant Airport directly — it is 25 km from Dehradun and 20 km from Rishikesh, so every public option begins with a taxi to a station or bus stand anyway. An honest look at the alternatives, because the right answer is not always a taxi.
| Option | Time | Door to door | Luggage | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private taxi | 4.5–5 hours, leaving when you choose | Yes | Whatever fits the car | Families, groups, luggage, odd hours, and anyone who wants to stop on the way |
| Bus | UTC and private Volvo services from Dehradun ISBT, now via the Delhi–Dehradun Expressway; fixed departure points, no door pickup. | |||
| Train | Direct trains from Dehradun to Anand Vihar and New Delhi — Vande Bharat and Shatabdi are the fast ones, roughly 4.5–6 hours plus station transfers at both ends. Check the current timetable. | |||
Since the expressway opened in April 2026 a taxi is now about as fast as the fastest train once you count getting to and from the stations — and it leaves from your door.
Count the suitcases before you count the people — luggage decides the car more often than passengers do.
| Car | Best for | Our take on this route |
|---|---|---|
| Swift Dzire / sedan | Up to 3 adults, 2 large suitcases | On a highway run this is all most people need — quick and economical. |
| Maruti Ertiga | Family of 4–5, 3–4 suitcases | Count suitcases before people: the Ertiga is what a family actually fits in. |
| Toyota Innova / Crysta | 5–6 adults with luggage | For a full car, elderly passengers, or arriving off a long flight. 4.5–5 hours passes easily. |
| Tempo Traveller / Urbania | Groups of 9–17 | Wedding parties, corporate and pilgrim groups. |
