Bangalore Cant to Airport Taxi

Bangalore Cantonment is a handy rail stop close to the centre of the city, and many train travellers connect straight to a flight. A pre-booked cab from Cantonment to the airport makes that connection easy, in either direction.

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.

The numbers are route-planner figures without traffic or stops. In practice, central Bengaluru at office hours can slow the first part of the drive, so keep a cushion in your plan if you are catching a flight.

Train and flight

Connecting from Cantonment railway station

Bangalore Cantonment railway station lies near Shivajinagar and the old military quarter of Bengaluru, which is why some people call it simply Cantt. If you arrive by an early train and fly the same day, a taxi saves you the stress of changing vehicles with your bags.

Heading the other way, arrivals at the airport who need to reach the Cantonment station for an onward train should plan the road time with the figures above and leave plenty of margin before the train’s departure. Trains do not wait, so a spare buffer helps.

Pickup points

Areas we cover around Cantonment

Besides the station itself, we can pick you up from nearby neighbourhoods such as Fraser Town, Richards Town, Cleveland Town and Shivajinagar, as well as Mosque Road. For hotels or guest houses in this part of town, give the property name and the entrance you prefer.

Tips for a smooth Cantonment run

Cantonment is a compact, tree-lined part of Bengaluru with narrow lanes in places, so the driver may ask you to walk a short distance to the main road. Having your luggage ready at the entrance of the building or station saves time. Early trains reach Cantonment at hours when the road outside is quiet, which usually makes the ride to the airport comfortable.

If you plan a same-day connection between train and flight, check both timetables carefully. Allow time to leave the platform, collect baggage and walk to the pickup spot. The road leg is only part of the journey, and a long platform walk can quietly eat into your buffer.

Booking tips

Terminals, timing and vehicle choice

When you book, tell us the flight number and your terminal, Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, so the drop is at the right door. For arrivals, share your flight number as well so the driver is ready when you come out.

A Dzire, Etios or Ciaz fits one to three people with ordinary luggage. Larger groups or families should consider an Innova; read about the Innova airport taxi. We do not state airport fares on the website; the fare is confirmed when you book.
