Noida to Gurgaon

Taking up a 2-hour drive or a taxi ride to Gurgaon from Noida is the best option across the 65-kilometre stretch for those who have a slightly bigger budget for the commute. Although Delhi Transport Buses ply between the destinations, travellers would have to change their buses to reach Gurgaon; which may be inconvenient for some travellers.

Best Options
Therefore, driving private vehicles or renting a cab or a taxi can be a more suitable option to ensure convenience and comfort.

Book Cabs Online
Travellers can book online cabs such as hatchbacks, sedans, premium cars, sports utility vehicles, minivans and tempo travellers through service providers like Rai Cabs, Hire Me Car, OLA Cabs, Bharat Taxi, Clear Car Rental etc. These service providers have provisions for a drop, a return, and they also offer packages that consist of sightseeing and return journey.

This route is the most affordable mode but may not be very convenient one because of the stopover.

Gurgaon is accessible from Noida by Delhi Metro Rail from any of the Metro Stations in Noida and Greater Noida. Commuters would have to take another metro heading directly to Gurgaon at Rajiv Chowk. Plans are being made to cut the time required to commute by having an interchange at Hauz Khas Station instead. But for now, commuters need to get down at Rajiv Chowk Metro Station and board another metro heading to the Yellow line at Huda City Centre Metro Station at Gurgaon.

For those looking for train options, there are no direct trains between Noida and Gurgaon, although both cities have railway stations. The only way to get a train to Gurgaon is to board a train from Dadri to Ghaziabad, from where travellers can board one of the many direct trains that head to Gurgaon. With the stopover, this mode of transport might also be the least preferred for some travellers. But, those on a small budget could use this option if they cannot take a bus or a metro.
