Airport transfer

MG Road to Bangalore Airport Taxi

MG Road sits at the heart of central Bengaluru, which makes it one of the most convenient places from which to reach Kempegowda Airport. Book a taxi from MG Road to Bangalore airport and the car arrives at your hotel or office, ready for the run north.

Route-planner figures from OpenStreetMap data, without traffic delays or stops. Bengaluru traffic varies a lot by time of day, so allow extra time for your flight; we will suggest a pickup time when you book.

All figures are from a route planner and exclude traffic and stops. Central roads in the CBD get crowded from morning to late evening, so give the trip a margin, especially when a fixed flight or meeting depends on it.

Pickup points

Pickups around MG Road

The MG Road area has several landmarks that are easy to use as meeting points: the MG Road metro station, Brigade Road, Church Street, Residency Road, Trinity Circle and the edge of Cubbon Park. Many hotels and business offices line these streets, and the driver can come to the porch of your hotel or the main entrance of your office building.

Because the roads around here are busy and some are one-way, a clear pickup spot saves minutes. Tell us the building name and a side street if there is one.

Business and leisure

Who uses this transfer

Executives flying out after a day of meetings, tourists finishing a stay near the shopping streets and visitors arriving for work in central Bengaluru all use this route. For arrivals, send us the flight number and terminal, Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, with your booking.

One or two travellers with cabin bags do well in a Dzire, Etios or Ciaz. Groups or guests with several bags should ask for an Innova model.

Good to know

Tips for travelling from the centre of town

Central Bengaluru has many one-way streets and no-parking stretches, and drivers may not always be able to halt directly in front of a hotel. Share the exact name of the building and the road, and keep your luggage near the lobby so loading is quick. If the entrance is a busy one, a side road around the corner may be easier.

Remember to keep your documents at hand. For a business trip, many travellers also like to check their boarding pass on the phone while in the car, so charge your phone before leaving. Bring a printed copy for international flights when your airline asks for one.

If you are travelling with a colleague, mention it, so we can recommend a car that fits both of you plus bags. Large teams visiting for a conference can also check our Tempo Traveller rental.

Planning

Evening and early-morning flights

Late-night arrivals are common at Bengaluru’s airport and the return ride into town is quiet at that hour. Early departures also tend to be smooth, but it is worth confirming your pickup the evening before. If your flight leaves in the middle of the day, start earlier than you think you need to, as central traffic can be unpredictable. Fares are confirmed when you book.
