Bangalore to Jog Falls Bus Rental — 27 to 50 Seater Bus Hire for Group Travel

Bus Packages for the Bangalore to Jog Falls Route

College and School Excursion Package

The largest category on this corridor by a distance. Jog is a staple annual excursion for Bangalore colleges and schools, concentrated between November and February. We provide vehicle and driver documentation for institutional approval, multiple pickup points across the city, and coordinated convoys where a department is moving more than fifty students. We are happy to deal directly with the teacher or student coordinator rather than only a purchasing department, which usually makes planning faster. One thing we raise every time: the descent to the base is fourteen hundred steps and the climb back is hard, so the schedule needs a realistic block of time for it rather than an optimistic one.

Corporate Package

Malnad offsites run steadily from Bangalore and Jog anchors many of them, usually combined with Honnemaradu for a second-day activity. The package includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver retained for the full trip, and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. Corporate bus rental bangalore enquiries involving water activities are planned around the operators’ fixed windows, since those cannot be moved on the day. We coordinate multi-coach movements for larger departments with a single point of contact and a common schedule, handled by our corporate travels bangalore desk.

Family and Group Package

Extended families and community groups travelling together, usually two nights with a full day at the falls and a second covering Linganamakki, Sagara and either Sigandur or Banavasi. Planned around a driver who waits without pressure and an itinerary that does not assume everyone will do the steps. Where the group includes elderly members or small children, tell us at enquiry — the viewpoint itself is entirely accessible, but the descent is not, and a good plan splits the group rather than forcing a single pace.

Budget and Luxury Tiers

For cost-led bookings we run non-AC 27 to 41 seater coaches, point to point, clean vehicle, verified driver. The bus rate per km in bangalore for the non-AC tier is our lowest, and across a 760 kilometre round trip with forty-five passengers the saving is significant — Malnad’s climate makes non-AC entirely reasonable here for most of the year. At the other end, our volvo bus rental bangalore tier covers volvo luxury bus and bharatbenz bus rental bangalore requirements, with air suspension and better sound insulation that tell on the winding sections past Shivamogga. Both tiers get the same maintenance, documentation and driver vetting.

Our Vehicle Range in Bangalore

Our ac bus rental bangalore fleet covers 27, 32, 35, 41, 45 and 50 seater configurations, including Volvo and BharatBenz coaches. We run the full range of group vehicles from one Bangalore base, so a change in headcount after booking can usually be absorbed by moving category rather than restarting.

•             Bus — 27 to 50 seater, including Volvo and Benz coaches, the core vehicle for this route

•             Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, AC and non-AC, better suited if Sigandur or the narrower backwater roads are central to your plan

•             Tempo traveller — 8 to 18 seater, AC and non-AC

•             Force Urbania — 13 to 17 seater luxury van

•             Cars — 4 to 7 seater, from Etios, Dzire, Innova, Innova Crysta and Innova Hycross through Fortuner and Commuter, up to Corolla Altis, Camry, Audi A6, Audi Q7, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz E Class, Mercedes-Benz S Class and Rolls-Royce Ghost

Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our coaches are seated configuration with push-back seats. Groups sometimes ask about an overnight departure to gain a day at Jog, and we advise against it on this route — the last two hours are winding Malnad road, and a group that arrives at dawn without sleep will not do the steps.

Billing Details — What Is Included and What Is Extra

We quote in writing before you book and the quote itemises everything, so nothing appears at trip end that you have not already approved. A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms the booking.

Included in the Quoted Fare

•             Base fare and fuel charges

•             Driver allowance

Not Included — Billed Separately at Actuals

•             Toll charges and parking fees

•             Interstate tax, where a route crosses a state border

•             Additional driver bata after 9:45 PM

•             GST as applicable

•             Final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage

Garage-to-garage is standard across organised group transport in Bangalore. The meter starts when the vehicle leaves our garage for your pickup and stops when it returns, and that is built into the written quote, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay. Three notes for this route. There is no interstate tax, since the journey stays entirely within Karnataka. Driver night halt charges apply on multi-day hire and will apply here, since Jog cannot be done as a day trip. And local mileage in the Sharavathi region adds up quickly — Honnemaradu, Linganamakki and Sagara across one day is well over a hundred kilometres before any detour — so we build a realistic circuit figure into the quote rather than a flattering one. Boat, kayak, jeep and ferry charges are paid locally by passengers and are not part of the vehicle quote.

Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if required. Vehicle insurance and full statutory driver and vehicle compliance are maintained across the fleet.
