One way taxi
Bangalore to Pondicherry cab, one way
Most people who book Bangalore to Pondicherry with us are tired of the alternatives: overnight buses, tatkal tickets that vanish in a minute, or round-trip cab fares for a one-way journey. With a drop taxi you leave when it suits you and pay only for the 310 km you actually travel.
We'll pick you up from Kempegowda Airport, Majestic, Whitefield, Electronic City, Koramangala, Marathahalli or Hebbal, and drop you at White Town, the Promenade beach and Auroville.
Every car is air-conditioned, cleaned before the trip and driven by someone with at least five years on these highways. The fare is fixed per kilometre and confirmed before you leave. There's no surge and no “night charge” added at the end.

Route
The road from Bangalore to Pondicherry

- Hosur
- Krishnagiri
- Tiruvannamalai

- Pondicherry
The usual route is via Krishnagiri and Tiruvannamalai, then on to Villupuram and Pondicherry: about 310 km, or 6 – 6½ hours at a comfortable pace with a tea break or two. Because the trip crosses into Puducherry, a state entry permit applies and is added at actual cost.
If you'd rather take a different road, stop for a temple on the way or pick someone up en route, just tell us when you book. The driver will plan around it.

Tips for the trip
- Start early. Leaving Bangalore before 6 a.m. gets you past the city traffic and most of the highway before the heat builds.
- Tell us about luggage when you book. A sedan takes two big suitcases; for more, an SUV or Innova is the safer choice.
- Keep the driver's number handy. He'll call you before he reaches your pickup point, and you can share it with family.
- Tolls are paid by FASTag on the way and added to your bill at the end, so you don't need to carry change.
