Short answer first
Is Hyderabad to Pune a one day drive?
Answer
Yes. At 560 km this is a single day on the road, which is why we drive almost every pet we move on it. Your pet sleeps at home the night before and at the new address the night after, with nothing in between but the vehicle.
Moving one pet Hyderabad to Pune costs ₹10k to ₹15k by road, ₹9k to ₹15k by train and quoted on request by air. The cheapest published option is train.
We usually recommend road here. This runs South to West, so it crosses the country rather than staying in one region. A steady NH 65 run finished inside a day.

Choosing a mode
Why we drive Hyderabad to Pune rather than fly it
By train
Boarding at Secunderabad Junction (SC) and arriving at Pune Junction (PUNE), roughly 9 hours on board, in a first AC coupe or as registered luggage.
- Also boards from HYB and KCG
- ₹9k to ₹15k
By air
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD) to Pune Airport (PNQ), about 1 hour in the air. The cargo terminal is about 30 km out at Shamshabad on the Hyderabad side and about 10 km out at Lohegaon at the other end, and that driving is part of the day.
- Priced on request
Crate rules, coupe bookings and airline acceptance are the same on every route. They are set out on the road, train and air guides.
Timing
When to travel Hyderabad to Pune, and when not to
Summer heat at the Hyderabad pickup
Summers are hot and dry from April to June, so we favour early morning pickups and keep the hydration plan tight on road journeys in that window. On the Hyderabad pickup we load at first light.
The monsoon at the Pune delivery
Pune is comfortable for most of the year. The main trouble is the monsoon ghat sections on the Mumbai and Goa routes, where we slow the schedule rather than push through. On the Pune delivery we keep a spare day either side.
Dogs and cats
Moving a dog or a cat from Hyderabad to Pune
The dogs we move most out of Hyderabad are Labradors, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Indies, Pugs and Persian cats. This is what we would put each of them on for a 560 km run.
Swipe the table sideways to see everything.
| Your pet | Best on this route | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Small dog, under 10 kg | Road | Comfortable in a single day drive with breaks every two hours. |
| Medium dog, 10 to 25 kg | Road | No crate limit by road, so this is usually the easiest option. |
| Large dog, over 25 kg | Road or train | Cargo charges rise sharply with weight, so road or a booked coupe is usually kinder and cheaper. |
| Snub nosed breeds | Road or train only | Pugs, Bulldogs, Boxers and Shih Tzus are restricted from cargo holds by most airlines. |
| Cats | Road | Cats stay enclosed and covered rather than taking walk breaks. They cannot use the train dog box. |
Two bonded pets from one home can often share a crate or coupe. Breed specific guidance is on the dog transport and cat transport pages.
