Karnataka Routes
One way and round trip cabs to Hubballi, Belagavi, Ballari, Davanagere, Tumakuru and more — with SUV options for long drives.
Beyond the hill stations and temple towns, many customers need a reliable cab from Bengaluru to the major cities of Karnataka for work, family visits or pilgrimage. This guide lists the distance, typical drive time and what to know for each route. For the tourist routes, see destinations; for every route we cover, see Bangalore taxi routes.
Long routes are most comfortable in an SUV taxi. Distances and drive times below are approximate and depend on traffic and your pickup point.
About 70 km · 1.5 to 2 hours
The first major stop on the Bengaluru–Pune highway. Siddaganga Mutt draws steady pilgrim and day-visitor traffic, and many professionals travel here for work, so most bookings are a quick one-way drop or a same-day return.
A sedan is enough for two to four people. Choose an SUV when you travel as a family or carry a lot of luggage.
Coming the other way? Tumkur to Bangalore taxis drop at any address in Bengaluru or at the airport, and are popular for office and airport runs.
A return trip is about 140 km, but round trips are billed at a minimum of 300 km a day. At our SUV round trip rate of ₹17/km, that comes to roughly ₹5,100, before driver bata and toll. One way drops are quoted per route, so call us for the fare.
About 100 km · 2 to 2.5 hours
Mandya sits on the Bengaluru–Mysuru expressway corridor and is the base for KRS Dam, Srirangapatna and Melukote. Guests often combine it with a Mysuru trip in a single booking.
If you plan to visit Mandya and Mysuru together, book one round trip so the cab stays with you between stops, and take an Innova SUV when five or more people travel.
Mandya to Bangalore taxis are available from the town, KRS and Srirangapatna, with drops across Bengaluru and at the airport.
A return trip is about 200 km, but round trips are billed at a minimum of 300 km a day. At our SUV round trip rate of ₹17/km, that comes to roughly ₹5,100, before driver bata and toll. One way drops are quoted per route, so call us for the fare.
About 260 km · 4.5 to 5 hours
A busy education and trading city on the Bengaluru–Hubballi highway, known for its benne (butter) dosa. It is a common stop for families and students travelling between Bengaluru and north Karnataka, so one-way drops are the usual booking.
For a family of five or more with bags, a Toyota Innova gives a comfortable seat for the full five-hour drive.
Davanagere to Bangalore taxis run from the city's hotels, bus stand and railway station, usually as a one way SUV drop for families and students.

An industrial and mining centre close to the Vijayanagar steel plant at Toranagallu, so most trips here are business or corporate travel, often with a same-day return or one night away.
For executives and client pickups, the Innova Crysta suits a long working day on the road.
Ballari (Bellary) to Bangalore taxis suit business travel to Bengaluru or the airport, and we can plan a pickup from Toranagallu as well.

Hosapete is the railhead and gateway for Hampi, the UNESCO World Heritage ruins about 13 km away, and for the Tungabhadra Dam. A two-day round trip lets you see Hampi without rushing.
Hampi's sites are spread out, so keep the same cab for the second day to move between them with your group. An Innova SUV works well for a family with luggage.
Hospet to Bangalore taxis are common after a Hampi trip, with pickup from Hampi or Hosapete and a drop in Bengaluru or at the airport.

Twin commercial and educational cities with an airport and a busy rail hub, which makes this one of the most requested long one-way drops in north Karnataka. The two cities are close together, so one booking can cover either.
Tell us whether you are going to Hubballi or Dharwad when you book, so the driver heads to the right side of the twin city. An Innova Crysta is a popular pick for this long run.

Close to the Goa and Maharashtra borders, Belagavi has its own airport and a historic fort, with Kittur and Gokak Falls within a day's reach. The drive is long, so travellers usually plan an early start or an overnight departure with rest stops.
For a journey this long, an SUV and an early morning departure make the day far easier for children and older passengers.
Belgaum to Bangalore taxis are available from Belagavi's hotels, railway station and airport, with a drop in Bengaluru. Plan a night departure or an early start for the long drive.

Home to Gol Gumbaz, whose dome is one of the largest in the world, and a cluster of Adil Shahi monuments. Guests usually treat it as a two or three day heritage round trip rather than a day trip.
Book the cab for the whole stay so you can reach the monuments, which are spread across the old city, without hiring local transport. An Innova SUV keeps a family group together across the stay.
Bijapur to Bangalore taxis start from Vijayapura's hotels or station after a Gol Gumbaz visit, with a drop anywhere in Bengaluru.

FAQ
Besides the popular tourist routes such as Mysuru, Hassan, Chikmagalur and Mangaluru, we run one way and round trip taxis to Tumakuru, Mandya, Davanagere, Ballari, Hosapete (Hampi), Raichur, Hubballi–Dharwad, Belagavi, Vijayapura and Kalaburagi.
For drives of six hours or more, such as Hubballi, Belagavi or Vijayapura, we suggest a Toyota Innova or Innova Crysta, because the larger rear seat is much more comfortable over a long day. A sedan works for one or two people on shorter routes such as Tumakuru or Davanagere.
One way fares on long routes depend on the exact route, vehicle and travel date, so we confirm them on call or WhatsApp before you book. Round trips are billed per kilometre with a minimum number of kilometres per day, plus driver bata, as shown for each city above.
No. Toll, parking and state permit charges are extra, and round trips add a daily driver allowance (bata). The indicative figures on this page exclude both.
