Cabs from Mumbai to Mahabaleshwar cover roughly 247 to 260 km and take about 5 to 6 hours via the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Shirwal, Wai and Panchgani. Most families book a cab because it picks you up from your doorstep in Mumbai, Thane or Navi Mumbai and stays with you for the whole trip, so there are no bus changes and no hunting for local taxis on the hill. Our Mumbai to Mahabaleshwar cab service is built around exactly this kind of comfortable, flexible trip.
