About Vijayawada Airport (Gannavaram / VGA)
Vijayawada International Airport — officially located at Gannavaram in Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh — is the primary aviation gateway for Andhra Pradesh's commercial capital and the entire Krishna–Guntur corridor. Operated by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), it is one of India's fastest-growing airports, recording 28.9% year-on-year passenger growth in 2025–26 and handling over 16 lakh passengers in that period.
The airport connects Vijayawada to major Indian cities including Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Tirupati, and Visakhapatnam — operated by IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express, and Fly91. International connectivity includes direct flights to Singapore (SIN) and Sharjah (SHJ) — making it a genuine international airport catering to both business travellers and a significant NRI population from the UAE and Southeast Asia.
The airport is currently undergoing major expansion — a new integrated terminal capable of handling 1,200 passengers at peak capacity, 24 check-in counters, 14 immigration counters, and parking for 1,250+ vehicles. Aman Self Drive's airport service is fully positioned to serve this growing passenger base.

Once you collect your car at VGA, all of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is within reach. Here are the most popular destinations travellers drive to from Vijayawada Airport:
Vijayawada City Centre
The most common destination from VGA. Benz Circle, Labbipet, MG Road, Governorpet — all within 15–25 minutes of the airport on NH16.
Amaravathi — AP Capital Region
The new capital region of Andhra Pradesh. Amaravathi is 40 km from the airport — many government officials, business travellers, and tourists head straight there from VGA.
Guntur City
Andhra Pradesh's largest industrial and commercial city is 50 km from VGA on NH16. Business travellers frequently collect cars at VGA and drive directly to Guntur for meetings.
Tirupati — Tirumala Pilgrimage
The most popular outstation destination from VGA. Many devotees fly into Vijayawada and drive directly to Tirupati for darshan — 400 km on NH16, taking 6.5–7.5 hours.

8 Smart Tips for Renting a Car at Vijayawada Airport
Pre-Book at Least 24 Hours Early
For standard cars (Swift, i20, Creta), 24 hours' notice is usually enough. For the Innova Crysta, Fortuner, or Thar — especially on weekends or festival seasons — book 3–5 days in advance to guarantee availability.
Share Documents Before You Land
Send a photo of your driving licence and Aadhaar card via WhatsApp before your flight. This pre-verifies you so the handover at VGA is instant — no document checks on arrival, just keys and inspection.
Share Your Flight Number at Booking
Tell us your flight number when pre-booking. We monitor arrival times so if your flight is delayed, your car is still ready when you land — not sitting unused for hours because we didn't know.
Choose the Right Car for Your Luggage
Arriving with multiple checked bags? Book the Innova Crysta (300L boot) or Kia Carens. A Swift hatchback fits 2 standard suitcases — fine for solo travellers but tight for a family with check-in luggage.
Fuel Up in Vijayawada Before Long Trips
Your car arrives with a full tank from Aman. For direct airport-to-Tirupati runs, fill up again in Ongole (175 km) or Nellore (290 km). Fuel stations are well-spaced on NH16 but plan ahead for CNG cars.
Connect to VGA Wi-Fi on Landing
Vijayawada Airport has free Wi-Fi in the terminal. Connect immediately on landing to WhatsApp Aman with your "Landed" message — this triggers the final car preparation so you don't wait at all.
Late Night Flights — Add This Note
For flights landing after 8 PM, specifically mention this when booking. Our team ensures car preparation timing aligns with your late arrival — no last-minute scramble for your airport car delivery.
One-Way Airport Drop Also Available
Done with your trip and heading back to VGA for departure? Aman accepts one-way returns at the airport on request. Drive the car to VGA, complete the return handover, and check in for your flight — seamless.
