Tata Ace
Live rate at booking
Book Tata AceWhat does a Chota Hathi on rent from Andheri East cost?
That is the first question most Andheri East callers ask, so here is the straight answer. TruckGuru prices a Tata Ace (Chota Hathi) as one fare for the whole trip, toll included, and only for intercity trips over 100 km. Andheri East to Pune, about 160 km, is indicatively Rs.4,200 - Rs.4,600 (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed, so confirm the live figure when you book. For a quote, call +91-7202045678 or book on the site or app; you get a callback within 30 minutes in working hours.
Local trips to Bandra, Thane or Navi Mumbai are not something we book. Our office is in Vadodara.
Fares on the main lanes
Each figure below is a range for one trip in a mini truck with driver. The actual quote depends on the date, the cargo and how many vehicles are near Andheri on the day. Prices go up before Diwali and in weeks when the western suburbs are short of vehicles.

Why not a rate by the kilometre?
People often ask for a fare by the kilometre, but a kilometre figure hides the parts that make a real difference: toll, the time spent at the loading point, and the date you need the vehicle. A trip fare covers all of that in one number you can put in a purchase order.
What moves out of Andheri East
Andheri East is a business district first. SEEPZ in Marol houses gems, jewellery and electronics exporters; the MIDC area off the Andheri-Kurla road has small manufacturers, printers and pharma offices; and the Sahar side is close to the airport cargo complex. The intercity mini truck loads we see are usually electronic goods and spares going to dealers in Pune or Nashik, printed material and display stock for retail launches, and samples or small batches from pharma and FMCG offices sent to plants in Gujarat. High-value cargo travels best with a closed vehicle and its own transit insurance, which the shipper arranges.
Plan pickups early. After 10 am, the Andheri-Kurla road and the Western Express Highway near the airport turn slow, and a late pickup can push a Pune delivery to the next morning.

The vehicle and its limits
The Tata Ace carries up to 1,100 kg and comes with a driver. Covered decks are available on request. For loads up to 3.5 ton, book a 14FT Eicher through the same flow, or see the truck types we book. Vehicle details are on Tata Ace for rent, and other cities are on Chota Hathi on rent. Larger loads from the area are covered under truck hire in Mumbai.
Papers and handover
Goods above Rs.50,000 need an e-way bill, raised by the consignor or consignee. Exporters moving goods out of SEEPZ should check their own zone paperwork before the vehicle arrives. We issue a digital Lorry Receipt at loading, track the vehicle by GPS to delivery, and send a GST invoice after delivery. Loading and unloading labour are arranged by you.
