The Ahmedabad to Vadodara route is one of the most-travelled intercity corridors in western India. At just 110 km via the Ahmedabad–Vadodara Expressway (NH-48), it connects Gujarat's largest commercial city with its cultural capital, Baroda — and it's a journey most travellers want done quickly, comfortably, and without a bill full of surprises.
Whether you're heading to Vadodara for a business meeting, a family function, or to catch a connecting flight from BDQ Airport, this guide gives you every detail you need: fare breakdown, expressway toll costs, best travel times, food stops, and how to book a verified cab that won't let you down.
Distance, Time and Route
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Distance | 110 km |
| Estimated drive time | 2–2.5 hours (normal traffic) |
| Best route | Ahmedabad–Vadodara Expressway (NH-48 / NE1) |
| Alternate route | Old NH-64 via Anand (slower, avoids expressway toll) |
| Toll cost (expressway) | ₹100–₹130 (billed as actuals) |
The expressway is a 6-lane divided highway, well-maintained, with clear signage. It cuts travel time to under 2 hours under light traffic conditions. The old NH-64 via Anand adds 30–45 minutes but avoids the expressway toll — useful if you're on a tight budget, though most travellers prefer the expressway for speed and safety.
