Book Tata AceA short lane with a long queue at the end of it
Vapi to Mumbai is about 180 km down NH48, and the driving is the easy part. The time goes in loading at a GIDC Vapi gate, the Achhad check area at the Gujarat-Maharashtra border, and the evening crawl through Dahisar or into Bhiwandi. TruckGuru books one dedicated truck for your load, from a Tata Ace to a 32FT container, and you see the trip fare before you confirm. Call +91-7202045678 or book on the website; after a booking our team calls you back within 30 minutes in working hours with the driver's name and vehicle number.
We are a Vadodara company and have no office in Vapi or Mumbai. Trucks are arranged from our network of owners who already run the NH48 belt, so the vehicle usually comes from Vapi, Valsad or Silvassa itself.
What Vapi sends south
Vapi GIDC is one of Gujarat's larger chemical estates. Dyes and intermediates, pharma bulk drugs, paper, plastics and packaging film make up most of what we see on this lane, along with engineering parts from Sarigam and Umbergaon. Much of it is going to one of three places: a Bhiwandi godown, a factory in Taloja or Thane, or a CFS yard at Nhava Sheva for export.
Chemicals need one extra step. If your cargo is classed hazardous, say so when you book and keep the MSDS and labels ready. Not every truck owner accepts it, and finding that out at the gate costs you a day.
Distance and transit time
| Point in Mumbai region | Distance from Vapi | Transit by truck |
| Mumbai city (via Dahisar) | about 180 km | Same day possible, otherwise next day |
| Bhiwandi | about 160 km | Same day possible, otherwise next day |
| Nhava Sheva (JNPT) | about 200 km | Same day possible, otherwise next day |
"Same day possible" depends on when the truck is loaded. A truck that leaves Vapi by mid-morning usually reaches the outskirts of Mumbai the same day. A truck loaded late in the evening reaches the next morning, which often suits Mumbai receivers anyway, since heavy vehicle entry into the city is restricted during the day. For the port, the receiving terminal's cut-off decides more than the road does.
About the "daily transport" searches
Plenty of people search for a Vapi to Mumbai daily transport service. To be straight about it: TruckGuru does not run a fixed daily truck that collects parcels from many shippers. We book a dedicated truck for your load on whatever day you need it, including every working day if your dispatch is regular. If you ship daily, tell us the pattern once and the team can line up trucks in advance rather than you booking from scratch each morning.
Which truck for which Vapi load
- Ace / Dost / Pickup (up to 1,100 kg): sample drums, spare parts, a few cartons for a Mumbai distributor.
- 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton): the regular size for packaging material and palletised pharma.
- 19FT Eicher (7 ton): bags of dyes or resin, paper reels on the lighter side.
- 20FT container (6.5 ton): anything that must stay dry, which in the monsoon is most of it.
- 32FT container (7-8 ton and up): full plant dispatches to Bhiwandi or bulk export cargo for the CFS.
Not sure of the body length? The truck size guide lists dimensions, and the container truck page explains the closed-body options. A 20ft request on this lane means our 20FT closed container truck, not a shipping box.
Vapi to Mumbai truck rates
Truck freight rates are not fixed. What a load costs depends on the route, vehicle type, load capacity needed, cargo, pickup date and how many trucks are running that lane that week. Southbound trucks out of Vapi are plentiful, but the last week of each month gets tight as plants push dispatches before closing their books.
TruckGuru pricing is quoted per trip at the time of booking, with toll included.

Border, e-way bill and paperwork
The truck crosses from Gujarat into Maharashtra, so the e-way bill has to be in place before the truck moves. The consignor or consignee generates it for goods above Rs.50,000; share it with us before dispatch so the vehicle number matches. If the load starts in Daman or Silvassa instead of Vapi, the bill is still interstate. Every trip comes with GPS tracking from dispatch to delivery, a digital Lorry Receipt at loading and a GST invoice after delivery. Loading and unloading labour and transit insurance stay with you.
Booking in four steps
Enter pickup and drop, cargo and weight on truckguru.co.in or the TruckGuru app. Pick the truck and pay the Booking Amount. Our team calls back within 30 minutes in working hours with the driver details. Track the truck until it reaches the Mumbai gate.

Vapi to Mumbai: questions we get
What is the contact number for Vapi to Mumbai transport?
Call +91-7202045678. You can also book online and our team calls you back within 30 minutes in working hours to confirm the truck, driver and vehicle number.
Do you have a truck going to Mumbai every day?
We book a dedicated truck for your load on any day you need one. It is not a shared daily service, so your cargo is the only cargo on that truck.
How far is Vapi from Nhava Sheva port?
About 200 km by road. With port gate queues, plan for the truck to arrive the next day unless it is loaded early in the morning.
Can you carry chemical drums?
Yes, for most non-hazardous chemicals. For hazardous cargo, declare it at booking with the MSDS so we can confirm a truck owner who will carry it.
How much is a 20ft truck from Vapi to Mumbai?
A 20FT container truck from Vapi to Mumbai, about 180 km, is indicatively Rs.7,400 - Rs.8,100 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
Can I send two pallets only?
We do not combine loads, so two pallets go in a whole truck of their own. An Ace / Dost / Pickup is usually the sensible size for that.
Can the truck enter Mumbai city in the day?
Heavy trucks face entry restrictions in Mumbai during the day. Larger trucks often unload early morning or at night; tell us the receiver's timing and we plan around it.
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.
Who arranges loading at the factory?
You do. The fare covers the truck and driver; loading and unloading labour are arranged by the shipper and receiver.
Can you also take a load from Mumbai back to Vapi?
Yes. Book it as a separate trip with its own pickup in Mumbai. The fare can differ from the southbound one.
Do you carry anything other than factory cargo?
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.
