One way taxi
Ooty to Bangalore cab, one way
Booking a cab from Ooty to Bangalore shouldn't mean paying for the driver's empty ride back. Our drop taxi charges you one way only, at a fixed per-km rate you'll know before you leave home.
We'll pick you up from Charing Cross, Ooty lake, the bus stand, your hotel or Coonoor, and drop you at Kempegowda Airport, the tech parks in Whitefield and Electronic City, or any address in the city.
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 Ooty to Bangalore
- Ooty
- Gudalur
- Bandipur
- Gundlupet
- Mysore
- Ramanagara
- Bangalore
The usual route is the Mysore road, then through Bandipur and Mudumalai forests (night traffic ban 9 p.m.–6 a.m.): about 270 km, or 6 – 7 hours at a comfortable pace with a tea break or two. Because the trip crosses into Karnataka, 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
- Tolls are paid by FASTag on the way and added to your bill at the end, so you don't need to carry change.
- Keep your ID handy on interstate trips. It's rarely asked for, but it saves time at a check post if it is.
- Start early. Leaving Ooty before 6 a.m. gets you past the city traffic and most of the highway before the heat builds.
- Keep the driver's number handy. He'll call you before he reaches your pickup point, and you can share it with family.
