Home or office pickup
The Urbania starts at 5:30 am from one home, office or hotel. If the group is in north or east Bangalore, we take the Satellite Town Ring Road through Devanahalli and Doddaballapur and join NH48 at Dobbaspet, which skips the city; that stretch is tolled at the Hulikunte plaza. From the west side we go by Peenya and Nelamangala. Before a long weekend the Nelamangala toll backs up for half a kilometre and more, so on such dates we roll out before 6 am. Breakfast is at Tumakuru.

Breakfast
Breakfast is in Tumakuru, 70 km out, at a hotel where the Urbania can stop right by the door. Thatte idli, broad and soft, is the dish of Tumkur district and fills people up until lunch. Ten or twelve travellers need about half an hour. For another weekend, the wooded hill of Devarayanadurga, with temples to Yoga Narasimha and Bhoga Narasimha, lies about 15 km from the city. The Mangaluru highway branches off here, but our road stays on NH48 towards Sira.

Tea
Tea is taken at Chitradurga, 200 km from home, and 15 minutes is enough for elders to stretch and use the restrooms. If the group means to see the fort on the way back, buy tickets online first, because entry is by scanning an ASI QR code and the mobile signal at the gate is weak. It usually opens around 6 am and shuts around 6 pm. Inside, twin rock cut tanks called Akka Thangi Honda once stored water for sieges. Wind turbines line the hills beyond town.

Lunch
Davangere, at about 265 km, is the lunch halt. Benne dose is on every menu; a GI tag was sought for it in 2024 and refused, because the dish is now made all over Karnataka. The city sits at the centre of the state and cooks from all of it, so rice meals and rotis are easy to find as well. Shanti Sagara, the Sulekere tank from the 12th century and one of the largest in Asia, lies off the Channagiri side, too far for today. Keep 45 minutes, then the Urbania heads for Haveri.

Drive on
The Urbania drives through Ranebennur, about 35 km after lunch. Cotton and jowar fields line this stretch, and silk worm rearing is growing in the villages. Most buses between north and south Karnataka pass through the town, so the highway is busy with coaches here. If someone in the group is flying out instead of riding back, Hubballi airport is about 108 km from Ranebennur. The wholesale cloth market and the blackbuck sanctuary are for another day. Haveri, the next town, is about 30 km on.

Tea and restroom
Haveri, at about 330 km, is a good tea and restroom halt before the last stretch. Two kinds of Byadagi chilli are sold here, the short plump dabbi and the long thin kaddi, and the harvest runs from January to May, when the markets are full. Bada, the birthplace of the poet saint Kanakadasa, is about 25 km away, a visit for another day. The town is also known for the Hukkeri Math. About 80 km remain to Hubli, through Shiggaon.

Hotel or venue drop
The Urbania reaches Hubli Dharwad in the middle of the afternoon. The twin cities, about 20 km apart, have one corporation since 1962, so share the hotel or venue name early and we plan the drop and the next day's pickups around it. Hubli is the railway division headquarters, handy if someone joins by train. For the evening, girmit and mirchi bajji are the local snacks, and boxes of Dharwad pedha make the gift to carry home. The driver stays close by and the Urbania is ready at the hour you fix.
Booking a Bangalore to Hubli Dharwad Force Urbania for elders or a team? It has more headroom, bigger windows and a smoother ride than a regular van. The official names are Hubballi and Dharwad. Our Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore always includes a driver.

The twin cities are about 410 km from Bangalore on NH48, by Tumakuru, Chitradurga, Davangere and Haveri, so plan about 820 km for the round trip. The Urbania takes roughly 8 hours with a breakfast halt, lunch at Davangere and a tea stop at Haveri. Dharwad is about 20 km beyond Hubli.
No. The km rate covers fuel, the driver and AC. Any state permit, tolls and parking are billed at actuals, plus GST.
Then a night bata goes on for our driver. We show it in your quote, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Yes. The one way rate is ₹2 a km over the round trip km rate, and we quote the total on request.
Go for the 12 seater. Each size is listed on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore. Every Urbania is ₹40/km, so 900 km over 3 days is ₹36,000, plus ₹700 a day allowance.
Yes, there is a luggage space at the back. A BRTS road joins the two cities. With big suitcases for 12 or more, take the 16 seater.
Late October to early February, when Hubli and Dharwad are mild and nearly dry. From June to September the region gets its rain, and Hubli averages about 838 mm a year, so the drive is slower and sightseeing is wet. March and April are the hottest months on the open stretch around Hiriyur and Chitradurga, though the Urbania's AC keeps the cabin cool between halts.
It can, but a day run suits a group better. Leaving at night means reaching at dawn, long before hotel check in, and everyone sleeps sitting up. Starting at 5:30 am, the Urbania arrives by mid afternoon with daylight for the whole drive. If you must travel at night, the driver rests through the day before, and we halt every two to three hours so he stays fresh.
