Airport transfer
Vellore to Bangalore Airport Taxi
A private cab with driver between Vellore and Kempegowda International Airport, for flight departures from Bengaluru and for arrivals heading back to Tamil Nadu. One booking covers the whole drive, door to door.
The route
Vellore to Kempegowda Airport by road
Vellore sits in the north of Tamil Nadu, and the road to Bengaluru’s airport runs west and then north through the Karnataka border belt. In route-planner data the drive uses NH 75, NH 648, NH 48 and SH 127 in places, and it is the same distance in either direction.
| To Kempegowda International Airport | About 185 km, about 2 h 30 min of driving |
| From the airport | About 185 km, about 2 h 30 min of driving |
| Main roads | NH 75, NH 648, NH 48, SH 127 |
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 figures without traffic or stops, so treat them as the minimum. A trip that starts from the Bengaluru side of the city centre is shorter, at about 185 km and about 2 h 15 min from central Bengaluru, but the airport is on the far northern edge, so most of your time is on the highway rather than in town.
Because the trip crosses from Tamil Nadu into Karnataka, interstate permit charges and tolls are extra. The fare for your pickup point is confirmed when you book.
Pickup points
Where we can pick you up in Vellore
Vellore is a busy medical and education town, so most requests start from a handful of places:
- Christian Medical College (CMC) and the hospital area, popular with patients and families travelling in and out.
- VIT campus, for students and visiting parents who need to catch a flight.
- Katpadi Junction railway station and the Central bus stand.
- Vellore Fort area and the town centre.
- The Sripuram Golden Temple side of the city, and hotels around it.
If your address is not on this list, give the driver a landmark when you book and the pickup can be set up there.
Flight timing
Planning your timing for early and late flights
For a Vellore to Bangalore airport morning departure, work backwards from your airline’s check-in cut-off, then add generous buffer for highway slowdowns and the approach to the airport. Many travellers choose to leave late the previous night for flights in the early hours, so they are not racing the clock.
For late-night arrivals, tell us your flight number and terminal (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2) when you book. Your driver can then be waiting at the right place after you land, and you can start the road to Vellore without searching for a ride at that hour.
Hospital visits make timing even more sensitive. If you are travelling after treatment at CMC, plan comfortable stops and do not schedule the connecting flight too tightly.
Choosing a cab
Vehicle choice by luggage and family size
A sedan such as the Dzire or Ciaz suits one or two passengers with normal cabin and check-in bags. For a family with several suitcases, or when elderly patients need extra seat room, an Innova or Innova Crysta is more comfortable over this distance. For larger groups, ask about the Tempo Traveller.
