Marina Beach
The second-longest urban beach in the world runs about thirteen kilometres along the Bay of Bengal, and no visit to Chennai really starts until you have walked it. The stretch between the lighthouse and the Anna Memorial is where the city gathers every evening — families, hawkers selling sundal and murukku, horse rides, and the memorials to Anna and MGR along the northern end. Swimming is not permitted because of strong undercurrents, but the sheer scale of the sand and the sea breeze after a six-hour drive is the point. For groups, our drivers usually drop near the Gandhi statue and pick up at the lighthouse end, avoiding the parking congestion on Kamarajar Salai entirely.

Tejas Travels picks you up from your home, hotel, office, or the airport — wherever is most convenient.

Bangalore to Chennai Bus Packages
Every group prices differently, so instead of a fixed rate card we build the charter around what the group actually needs. These four structures cover the vast majority of bus hire bangalore enquiries on this corridor.
Corporate Package
Built for inter-office movement, client visits, MICE events, offsites and industrial tours to the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam belt. Includes multiple pickup points across Whitefield, Electronic City, Manyata and Outer Ring Road so employees are not forced to converge on one location at 5 AM, GST-compliant invoicing against your purchase order, a Proforma Invoice at quotation stage for internal approval, and one point of contact through the trip. Vehicles are Executive or Volvo class with pushback seats, working AC, charging points and a public address system for the coordinator. Companies running repeat Chennai movement can open a 30-day corporate credit account with monthly consolidated invoicing, which removes the payment step from every individual booking. Related service: corporate travels bangalore.
Family and Group Package
For weddings, family functions, temple circuits and reunions, where the group ranges from a toddler to grandparents. The emphasis shifts to comfort and pacing rather than speed: extra halt time built into the schedule, a 21 or 27-seater mini bus with generous luggage space for gifts and trousseau, and a driver briefed to keep stops unhurried. Families combining Vellore Golden Temple and Kanchipuram with the Chennai leg get a route plan built around temple timings rather than driving hours. Luggage carriers, a first-aid kit and a cold water box come standard. If your group is under twelve people, a bangalore to chennai tempo traveller often works out more economical than a bus, and our team will say so at quotation stage rather than upselling.
Budget Package
For college groups, industrial visits, friend circles and student excursions where cost per head decides everything. Standard AC bus, straightforward itinerary, minimal halts, and transparent per-kilometre billing with no hidden loading. On a 40-seater running a two-day Chennai trip, the per-head transport cost typically lands well below what the same group would spend on individual bus or train tickets plus local taxis at the destination. Institutions requiring escort staff, seat belts on every seat and verified driver credentials are handled through our school excursion bus rental bangalore desk, which maintains the documentation that college and school bookings require.
Luxury Package
Volvo and BharatBenz multi-axle coaches for wedding parties, senior corporate groups, delegations and anyone who wants a six-hour highway run to feel shorter than it is. Air suspension, reclining pushback seats, individual reading lights, curtains, onboard entertainment and noticeably lower cabin noise at highway speed. This is the class we recommend for Bangalore to Chennai wedding guest movement, where guests travel dressed formally and the arrival needs to look the part. Explore the full volvo bus rental bangalore fleet, or see wedding bus rental Bangalore for combined car and coach movement.
Our Services — Available from Bangalore, Mysore and Across South India
Tejas Tours and Travels runs a full ground transport fleet rather than a single vehicle category, which means a group can move between vehicle classes as the requirement changes without changing vendors. Every service below is available from both Bangalore and Mysore, and several can be combined on one Chennai itinerary — a coach for the main group and a car for the organisers, for instance.
Cab and Car Rental
Sedans, SUVs and premium cars for small groups and executive movement. If your Chennai party is four to six people, a car is the better call — see premium car rentals in bangalore for the full range, the bangalore to chennai cab route page for this specific corridor, or the innova hycross rent bangalore page for the seven-seater that families ask for most.
Tempo Traveller and Mini Bus
The middle ground between a car and a full coach. A 12 to 17-seater luxury tempo traveller bangalore suits groups of ten to sixteen, while a 21 to 32-seater mini bus for rent in bangalore covers the size band where a full bus would run half empty. Both are booked frequently on the Chennai route by extended families and small corporate teams.
Bus and Luxury Coach
Standard, Executive, Volvo and BharatBenz coaches from 27 to 49 seats for large group movement. See bus rental in bangalore for the complete fleet, or the luxury urbania rental bangalore page for the 13 to 17-seater Force Urbania, now the preferred premium option for smaller groups on long highway routes.
Corporate, Airport and Employee Transport
Beyond one-off charters we run contracted daily operations for Bangalore companies — employee transportation services bangalore with night shift coverage and route optimisation, airport transfer bangalore with live flight tracking for Kempegowda International Airport pickups, and corporate car rental bangalore accounts with monthly billing.
School Commute, Outstation and Wedding Travel
Institutional and occasion-based transport completes the fleet: school transportation services with verified drivers and tracking, outstation cabs bangalore for multi-day trips across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Goa and Andhra Pradesh, and wedding car rental bangalore for decorated cars and guest coaches. Custom tour packages combining several of these services can be built for any South India circuit.

What Our Customers Say About Our Bus Services in Bangalore
Why Choose Tejas Tours and Travels?
Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Chennai Bus
The bangalore to chennai distance is approximately 350 km via NH 48 through Krishnagiri, Vellore and Kanchipuram. A private bus covers it in 6 to 7 hours of driving time. With a breakfast halt and a lunch stop, a realistic door-to-door figure is 9 to 10 hours, and adding Vellore Golden Temple or Kanchipuram extends it by 90 minutes to 2 hours each.
Bus fares around Rs 27,300. The final figure depends on vehicle class, number of days and total kilometres run. Since billing is garage to garage on actual kilometres and hours, we issue a written itemised quote within 2 hours rather than a verbal estimate.
The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Charged separately are toll and parking, inter-state tax and Tamil Nadu permit, driver bata for travel after 9:45 PM, and GST. The final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage. Passenger insurance is not covered by Tejas Tours and Travels.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms the booking and blocks the specific vehicle for your date. The balance is settled at trip end after the final kilometre and hour calculation. Advance can be paid by UPI, NEFT, IMPS, RTGS or card payment link, and the receipt is issued within 30 minutes.
Standard AC buses, Executive coaches, Volvo and BharatBenz multi-axle luxury coaches from 27 to 49 seats, plus 21 to 32-seater mini buses and 12 to 17-seater tempo travellers for smaller groups. For groups under twelve, a car or Innova Hycross often works out cheaper, and our team will tell you so at quotation stage.
Yes. A Tamil Nadu interstate permit is mandatory for every Karnataka-registered vehicle crossing at Attibele, and we arrange it for every charter on this route. The permit cost appears as a separate line item in your quotation and is billed at actuals, so there is no markup and no dispute at the check post.
Yes, and most leisure groups add at least one. Vellore and Kanchipuram sit on or just off the main route, while Mahabalipuram is a 55 km extension south of Chennai along the East Coast Road and needs a dedicated day. Tell us at enquiry stage which stops you want so the driver plans departure timing around temple hours and monument entry times, and so the additional kilometres are priced into the quote rather than added later.
It is possible but demanding — roughly 700 km and 13 hours of driving in one day. We run it regularly for corporate meetings and industrial visits, always with a 5:30 AM departure and a driver briefed for the schedule. For any itinerary involving sightseeing, we strongly recommend an overnight halt in Chennai instead, both for the group's comfort and for driver rest hours.
Cancellation more than 7 days before departure carries no charge and a full advance refund within 5 to 7 working days. Charges then step up through 10 percent, 25 percent, 50 percent and 75 percent as departure approaches, with no-show billed at full fare. If Tejas Travels cancels for operational reasons, a full refund is processed within 2 working days or an alternate bus is offered.
Yes. Corporate and MICE bookings get GST-compliant invoicing, Proforma Invoices for PO approval, multi-point pickup across Bangalore tech parks and optional 30-day credit terms. Engineering college industrial visits to the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam plants, and school excursions to Fort St. George and the Egmore museum, are handled with verified drivers, seat belts and the documentation institutions require.
