Outstation route
Bangalore to Chennai Cab
Travel between Bangalore and Chennai door to door. A private cab avoids railway station and airport transfers at both ends, and is a practical choice for families with luggage, business travellers and one-way relocations.
The route
Driving from Bangalore to Chennai
The usual route follows the national highway east through Hosur and Krishnagiri, past Vellore towards Chennai. This is an interstate trip from Karnataka into Tamil Nadu, so interstate permits, tolls and parking are charged in addition to the fare.
Distance and travel time vary with your exact pickup point, the route taken and traffic. Ask us when you book and we will help you plan your departure.
Trip types
One-way or round trip to Chennai
Many Chennai trips are one-way: moving house, visiting family or connecting to a flight from Chennai. Book a one-way drop and share your full Chennai address. For business visits or family functions where you need to come back, a round trip keeps the car and driver with you.
On the way
Stops worth considering
- Vellore: Vellore Fort and the Sripuram Golden Temple.
- Kanchipuram: the temple town, known for its silk sarees, on a short detour.
- Mahabalipuram: the shore temples south of Chennai, if you have extra time.
