The usual road is the Chennai–Bengaluru highway through Vellore, Krishnagiri and Hosur, approx. 330–350 km, which takes approx. 5.5–7 hours from central Chennai with a short break. Traffic entering Bengaluru near Hosur Road can add a lot of time, especially on Friday and Sunday evenings.

Vehicle preference is subject to partner availability. Partners with the vehicle you ask for respond only if they are free for your date.

One-way or round trip

Choose Outstation One Way for a drop in Bengaluru, or Outstation Round Trip if the same cab should bring you back, and enter the return date and time. Bengaluru is in Karnataka, so ask whether the interstate permit and tolls are included in the quote.

Pickup and drop

Common pickup points are homes and hotels in Chennai, Chennai airport and the main railway stations. Give your exact Bengaluru area in the form, because the city is large and north and south Bengaluru addresses, or the airport, can change the trip considerably.
