Book Tata AceStart with the Chakan chowk problem
Anyone who ships from Chakan knows the junction on the Pune-Nashik highway. Between shift changes at the big auto plants, a 10-minute stretch can take an hour. So the first thing we ask when someone books a Tata Ace for rent in Chakan is not the weight. It is the loading time. Get the vehicle out of MIDC before 8 AM or after 8 PM and the whole trip runs to plan.
TruckGuru books the Ace with driver for intercity runs only, over 100 km, carrying just your consignment. Runs to Pimpri, Bhosari or Pune city are not part of what we do.
Who ships small loads out of Chakan
Chakan's industrial area is built around car and two-wheeler plants and the hundreds of suppliers that feed them. The small-vehicle trips come from that supplier base: a rubber parts maker sending a trial lot to a customer in Nashik, a wiring supplier replacing rejected stock at a plant in Aurangabad, a toolroom returning repaired fixtures to Mumbai. Warehouses along the highway also send e-commerce and FMCG top-ups when a full truck is not justified.
An Ace / Dost / Pickup is rated up to 1,100 kg. A closed-body Bada Dost takes up to 1.5 ton and is the one to ask for if your parts are in cardboard, since Chakan gets heavy rain from June to September.
Three regular lanes, with indicative fares
Truck freight rates are not fixed. The ranges below were checked in September 2026 and include toll; your quoted rate depends on the day you load.
What an Ace trip out of Chakan indicatively costs
| Route | Distance | Ace / Dost / Pickup (up to 1,100 kg) |
| Chakan to Mumbai | about 160 km | Rs.4,200 - Rs.4,600 |
| Chakan to Nashik | about 180 km | Rs.4,700 - Rs.5,200 |
| Chakan to Aurangabad | about 240 km | Rs.6,200 - Rs.7,000 |
Indicative fares, checked September 2026. Freight rates move with route, vehicle type, cargo, date and availability. Confirm the current rate at booking.
By Ace, Nashik can be same-day if the truck loads early, otherwise next day; Aurangabad is usually within 1 day. We also see trips to Surat (about 400 km) and Bangalore (about 870 km); the Bangalore run includes a night halt.
Before you book, have these ready
- Actual weight and the number of bins or crates
- Plant name and gate number at both ends, since many OEM gates will not let an unlisted vehicle in
- Invoice value, so the e-way bill is ready when the value is over 50,000 rupees
- Your preferred loading slot, ideally outside shift-change hours
Loading and unloading labour is arranged by you, and transit insurance too if you need it.
If a tonne is not enough
Plenty of Chakan loads start as "just a few crates" and end up at 1.8 ton. If that happens, move to a 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton). For line-feeding volumes, 19FT Eicher (7 ton) and 32FT containers are available through hire truck in Pune. The container truck page covers closed 20FT and 32FT options for parts that must stay dry.
What happens after you book
Book on the website or the TruckGuru app. We call within 30 minutes during working hours (Mon-Sat 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM, Sun 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM) to confirm the vehicle and slot. At loading you get a digital Lorry Receipt; the Ace is GPS tracked to delivery; the GST invoice follows.
Chakan shippers ask us
Can the Ace reach our gate by 7 AM?
Usually, if booked the previous day. Early pickups are what we recommend from Chakan anyway, to get ahead of the shift traffic.
How much can I load?
Up to 1,100 kg in an Ace / Dost / Pickup, up to 1.5 ton in a closed-body Ace.
Chakan to Bhosari possible?
No. We only book intercity trips over 100 km.
Will the vehicle carry anyone else's parts?
No. One vehicle, one consignment.
Our plant needs vehicle details in advance. Will you share?
Yes. Vehicle number and driver details are shared on confirmation so your security team can pre-register them.
Who loads?
Loading and unloading labour is arranged by the customer. The driver secures and covers the load.
E-way bill for Nashik?
If the goods are worth more than 50,000 rupees, yes. The consignor or consignee generates it.
How do I track?
GPS tracking from dispatch to delivery, visible on the app.
What are the payment terms?
Payment is split into three parts: Booking Amount at booking confirmation, 90% at loading once the truck reaches the pickup location, and the remaining Balance at delivery before unloading begins. Accepted: NEFT, IMPS, UPI (PhonePe, GPay), and major debit and credit cards. No cash payments accepted.
Chakan to Mumbai fare fixed?
No. Rates are not fixed. A 160 km Ace trip was indicatively Rs.4,200 - Rs.4,600 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Confirm the current rate at booking.
Can I use it for personal goods?
Our trucks mostly carry business loads. For a one-off household move to another city, we can supply the truck and driver. Packing, loading and unloading are arranged by you.
