Airport transfer
Kolar to Bangalore Airport Taxi
Kolar is close enough to Kempegowda Airport that a direct cab makes more sense than a bus ride into the city followed by a second journey. A pre-booked car collects you from your doorstep and drives straight to your terminal.
Distance and roads
Kolar to the airport: what the numbers say
Anyone checking the Kolar to Bangalore airport distance should know that the route planner picks NH 75 and NH 648 as the main roads. The figures below show both directions.
| To Kempegowda International Airport | About 90 km, about 1 h 30 min of driving |
| From the airport | About 90 km, about 1 h 15 min of driving |
| Main roads | NH 75, NH 648 |
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.
These are route-planner driving figures without traffic or stops, and they differ slightly in each direction. For comparison, the same planner puts central Bengaluru at about 86 km, about 1 h 15 min from Kolar. The airport run is therefore only a little longer, and it avoids the middle of the city. Both Kolar and the airport are in Karnataka, so no state permit is needed.
Around Kolar
A district of gold, temples and tomatoes
Kolar district is known for the old Kolar Gold Fields, the temples of the region such as Kotilingeshwara, the hill-top Antara Gange springs near Kolar town and its large vegetable and fruit markets. People travelling to the airport come from all over this region, including business visitors from the industrial belt along NH 75 and families with relatives abroad.
We can arrange pickups from places such as:
- Kolar town, including the bus stand and railway station area.
- Robertsonpet and the Kolar Gold Fields townships.
- Bangarpet and Malur on the same corridor.
Flight timing
Timing your drive to the terminal
The road is mostly a straight highway run, but the last stretch near the city can be slow when office traffic builds up. For an early flight, leave while it is still dark and the roads are clear. For afternoon or evening flights, add extra margin and think about when you will hit the city’s outskirts. Always start from your airline’s check-in cut-off and work backwards.
If you are not sure, call us on 99640 09999 with the flight time and we will suggest when to leave.
Arrivals
Coming home to Kolar after a flight
For arrivals, give us the flight number and terminal (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2). Once you have collected your bags, message the driver. After a long journey the drive home is welcome in a comfortable car; a Dzire or Ciaz is enough for two, and families usually prefer an Innova.
