Railway Station Taxi – Chennai Central & Egmore

Train travel across Tamil Nadu is convenient, but finding a reliable cab at the station, especially after an overnight journey, a delayed train, or a 4 AM arrival, can be the most stressful part of the trip. HJ Cabs solves this by tracking your train's live running status, so your driver is dispatched to arrive just as your train pulls in, not before or after.

Local drops from the station, to your home, hotel, or office within 20 km, start from ₹800 for a Sedan, with 30 minutes of free waiting included and no surge pricing, regardless of the hour. Need to travel onward to another city directly from the station? Outstation drops are available too, with the fare quoted upfront on WhatsApp.

HJ Cabs covers Chennai Central, Chennai Egmore, Tambaram, and every major railway junction across Tamil Nadu, including Coimbatore Junction, Madurai Junction, Trichy Junction, Salem Junction, Vellore Katpadi, Tirunelveli, and more. Choose Sedan for solo or couple travel, SUV for families with luggage, or Innova Crysta for groups. Book via WhatsApp at +91-9042657398, confirmed in under 2 minutes, with no advance payment required.

Booking a station pickup with live train tracking is simple:

1. WhatsApp +91-9042657398 with your train number, station name, and destination, ideally a few hours before arrival

2. HJ Cabs tracks your train's live running status, and if it's delayed, your pickup time is adjusted automatically

3. You receive the driver's name and vehicle number in advance via WhatsApp

4. Driver waits at the designated pickup point on the platform side, with 30 minutes of free waiting included

5. Driver assists with luggage and drives you to your destination. Pay by cash or UPI at drop-off, with no advance required

Delayed Trains

If your train is running late, you'll receive a WhatsApp update with the revised pickup time, with no need to call and re-confirm.
