Pickup in Mysore
For a full bus we pick up from one point and leave at half past four. Many people look for a Mysore to Chennai bus seat each, but a private bus hired for the whole group is easier: one pickup, your own halts and your own timing, with nobody split across buses. Big bags go in the hold. Fuel is filled before pickup. The coach takes about twelve hours with halts. The early hour also clears the junction near Manipal Hospital, where the expressway meets the ring road.

Tea before the expressway run
About an hour out of Mysore the coach stops at Maddur for a quick tea. It takes the exit to the old road, where the larger hotels have space for a bus. Hot Maddur vada with tea keeps everyone going until the group breakfast at Hosur. The town lies on the Shimsha, known locally as Madduru Hole. Fifteen minutes and a head count, and the coach climbs back onto the expressway for the long stretch.

Breakfast for the group
Group breakfast is booked near Hosur, just after the border post, where the driver pays the coach tax and collects the permit; coaches on an All India permit may have interim relief from that tax. A highway hotel with coach parking serves idli, pongal and coffee fast enough for forty five. Hosur is roughly 180 km from Mysore, close to the one third mark. Forty minutes, then NH44 towards Krishnagiri.

Lunch for the group
The group lunches at Krishnagiri, about 235 km from Mysore, at a hotel with room for the coach beside the highway. After the meal the bus takes NH48 east towards Vellore. Between March and June this stretch is hot and dry, so every water bottle is refilled. Chennai is still roughly 250 km away, so the coordinator keeps the halt to one hour and counts heads before the coach moves.

Coach tea halt
The afternoon tea halt is at Vellore, about twenty minutes, with the coach pulled in on the highway side away from the crowded hospital roads. The old fort in the centre and the golden Sripuram temple on the edge of town are for a future trip. Ask the group leader to call everyone back ten minutes before leaving. From here about 130 km of fast highway remain to Chennai. Restrooms are at the hotel.

No coach halt
With a full bus we keep rolling through Sriperumbudur, about 40 km short of Chennai. The town is a large car and electronics manufacturing zone, and at shift change the highway slows with factory buses and lorries. The Ramanuja birthplace temple stands in the old town, a stop for a pilgrim group on another day. We halt here only if someone needs it, so the coach reaches the city before evening.

You are here
About twelve hours after Mysore, halts included, the coach reaches Chennai. The group is dropped at the hotel or venue, and the bus then parks wherever coaches are allowed. Traffic in the city centre crawls, and parking and city tolls are added at actual. May brings fierce heat and humidity, and parts of the city flood between October and December, so a winter trip is easiest for a large group.
Planning Mysore to Chennai bus hire for a family visit, with 27 to 50 people? To Chennai, one coach and one driver, halting where a big bus can park. We have arranged bus on rent in Mysore since 2009, for weddings, colleges and offices. Pickup for Chennai: your palace-side hotel, Mysore railway station or the city bus stand.

Chennai is about 485 km from Mysore, about 970 km for the round trip. The bus goes by the expressway past Maddur, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri and NH48 through Vellore and Sriperumbudur. A full bus needs about twelve hours with halts. For a group, hiring the whole bus works out better than booking seats on public buses.
Breakfast at Hosur, about 180 km from Mysore and lunch at Krishnagiri, roughly 235 km out. Chennai: both have space for a bus to park.
The 45 seater works; lots of luggage means the 49 or 50 seater. The full size list is on bus on rent in Mysore.
If the bus drives after 10 pm, a night allowance for the driver goes on the bill. Your quote shows the amount, as does the bus rental page. It is ₹700 to ₹1,000, by size a night for the bus.
No. Tolls, parking, the Tamil Nadu permit and GST are paid at actual and shown on the bill.
Yes, quoted when you ask. Tell us the date and where to pick up; the quote comes in writing.
Big suitcases ride in the hold under the bus, loaded at pickup in Mysore and unloaded at the Chennai hotel. Each person keeps one small bag inside with water, snacks and medicines for the twelve hour day. Tag the bags with names, so unloading in a busy city street is quick.
December to February. May is extremely hot and humid, and October to December brings the northeast monsoon, when the city floods in places and traffic crawls. In winter the drive and the city are both easier for a large group.
