About the Chennai–Mumbai drive

The road distance from Chennai to Mumbai is 1,227 km via NH67 — too long for most people to drive in one go.

You cross 13 toll plazas across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra. For a car the published fees add up to ₹605 one way, about ₹0.49 per km, cheaper than most highway corridors. 4 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹320 extra to be safe.

Vashi is free for cars: Cars, jeeps and vans (LMVs) pay no toll at Mumbai's five entry points since 14 October 2024 (Maharashtra government decision). Heavier vehicles still pay.

At 21 h of realistic driving time, plan an overnight halt roughly halfway — two drivers sharing the wheel is the safer option if you must do it in one day.
