Bangalore to Nandi Hills Bus Rental — 27 to 50 Seater Bus Hire for Sunrise and Group Trips

Bus Packages for the Bangalore to Nandi Hills Route

Corporate Package

This is the largest category on this route by a wide margin — team outings, department sunrise trips, family days, offsite mornings and induction-week activities for new joiners. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver, and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. A corporate bus rental bangalore booking here is almost always a half-day package with staged pickups: Electronic City or Whitefield teams need an earlier start, Manyata and Hebbal teams a later one, and we build the sequence around the group rather than asking everyone to reach one point at 4:00 AM. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages the arrangement end to end, including multi-coach movements for larger teams.

Family and Community Package

Apartment associations, extended families and friends’ groups making a weekend morning of it. The coach handles the pickup sequence across a residential layout, waits at the summit, and takes the group down to Bhoga Nandeeshwara and on to Muddenahalli or Devanahalli before returning by late morning. Luggage bays take coolers, breakfast, mats and jackets — the hill is genuinely cold before sunrise in December and January, which surprises first-time visitors every year. For groups with elders, note that the viewpoints involve walking on uneven paths, though the parking area itself is close to the gardens.

Budget Package

For groups where cost per head decides it. Non-AC 27 to 41 seater coaches on a minimum hours and kilometres package, clean vehicle, verified driver — the standard choice for college departments, school excursions and community outings, which make up a large share of Nandi Hills traffic. The bus rate per km in bangalore for the non-AC tier is our lowest, and on a half-day booking across forty passengers the cost per head is very low indeed. Non-AC is entirely comfortable on this route at this hour; the problem on Nandi Hills in winter is cold rather than heat. The budget tier is about vehicle specification, never about maintenance or driver vetting — and on a forty-hairpin road, driver vetting is what matters.

Luxury and Volvo Package

Volvo and Benz coaches with wider push-back seats, better suspension, air conditioning and premium interiors, for client outings, senior management trips and corporate events where the coach is part of the impression. One caveat specific to this route: the largest Volvo and multi-axle coaches are not suitable for the summit road, so the luxury option here usually means a higher-specification 27 or 35 seater rather than a full-size touring coach. Our volvo bus rental bangalore tier covers volvo luxury bus requirements where the itinerary suits them. For premium small-group travel to the summit, luxury urbania rental bangalore in 13 to 17 seater configuration is often the better answer on this particular hill.

Our Bus Fleet in Bangalore

Our fleet covers 27, 35, 41, 45 and 50 seater configurations in AC and non-AC, including Volvo and Benz coaches. We run a full range of group vehicles from the same Bangalore base, so if your headcount changes after booking we can usually move you up or down a category without restarting the process.

•             Bus — 27 to 50 seater, including Volvo and Benz coaches. For Nandi Hills we recommend 27 and 35 seaters and assess larger vehicles case by case

•             Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, an excellent fit for this route and for splitting larger groups

•             Tempo traveller — 8 to 18 seater, for smaller parties

•             Force Urbania — 13 to 17 seater luxury van, the premium option for the summit road

•             Cars — 4 to 7 seater, from Etios, Dzire, Innova, Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross and Fortuner through Commuter, Corolla Altis and Camry, up to 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 vehicles are seated configuration with push-back seats. On this route it makes no difference — the trip is a pre-dawn run out and back with the group home before lunch.

Billing Details — What Is Included and What Is Extra

We quote in writing before you book and the quote itemises everything, so there are no surprises at trip end. A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking.

Included in the Quoted Fare

•             Base fare and fuel charges

•             Driver allowance

Not Included — Billed Separately at Actuals

•             Toll charges and parking fees, including the hill entry and vehicle charges

•             Interstate tax, where an itinerary crosses into another state

•             Additional driver bata after 9:45 PM

•             GST as applicable

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

The garage-to-garage basis is standard across the organised group transport industry in Bangalore, and it is worth understanding on a short route like this one, because it works in your favour. The meter starts when the vehicle leaves our garage for your pickup point and ends when it returns, and a Nandi Hills booking is quoted as a minimum hours and kilometres package rather than a long-distance per-kilometre rate. That means a half-day sunrise trip is priced as a half day, not as a full one. If the group extends to Muddenahalli, Devanahalli or lunch on the way back, the additional hours and kilometres are billed at the pre-agreed rate — tell us at booking if that is likely and we will quote both versions.

Entry fees for passengers, vehicle entry charges at the hill and any parking are paid at the gate and shown separately at settlement.

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.

•             Share your total group size.

•             Tell us whether you want a sunrise arrival, which sets the departure at around 4:00 AM.

•             Tell us if you want to add Bhoga Nandeeshwara, Muddenahalli, Devanahalli Fort or a breakfast stop, so the hours are quoted correctly.

•             Share your preferred bus tier. We will advise on size — see the note on the ghat road earlier on this page.

•             For school and college excursions, share the student count and the number of accompanying staff so we can allocate vehicles and drivers accordingly.

•             For monthly employee commute contract hire, share the route and schedule details.

Step 2 — Receive Your Written Quote

•             Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email.

•             The quote itemises every charge:

•             Bus hire rate on a minimum hours and kilometres package for a half day, or a full-day package if you are adding stops

•             Driver allowance — Rs 700 to Rs 1,250 per day depending on vehicle

•             Applicable toll estimates

•             Vehicle entry and parking charges at the hill, at actuals

•             GST

•             Passenger entry fees at the hill are paid at the gate and are not part of the vehicle quote.

•             We will confirm the current entry rules, timings and any vehicle restrictions at the hill before your travel date rather than quoting from memory.

•             For MICE and corporate clients, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage for PO-based approval.

Step 3 — Confirm Your Booking and Pay Advance

•             Review the written quote and confirm via WhatsApp or phone.

•             A 20 percent advance payment of the total fare confirms the booking and guarantees the specific bus on your date.

•             Weekend and public holiday mornings from November to February are the peak on this route and book out early. Confirm well ahead for those dates.

•             For large corporate bookings above Rs 50,000, a higher advance may be required.

•             Payment options: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT, IMPS or RTGS bank transfer, or credit and debit card via payment link.

•             Your confirmation includes:

Step 4 — Your Driver and Bus Arrive Early

•             Your assigned Tejas Travels driver arrives at the first pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure.

•             For staged pickups the driver confirms the sequence with the organiser the previous evening — essential on a 4:00 AM start.

•             The bus is clean, sanitised, fuelled and GPS-active.

•             The driver calls the organiser 30 minutes before arrival.

•             During the trip the driver handles routing, toll payments, the gate formalities at the hill and the ghat climb.

•             At the summit the driver parks in the designated area and stays with the vehicle, which serves as the group’s base for the morning.

•             At trip end the balance is settled after deducting the advance.

•             Any additional kilometres or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate.

Cancellation Policy — Bus Hire in Bangalore

Special Cancellation Conditions for Bangalore Bus Hire

•             Hill closure or entry restriction — if the authorities close the hill, suspend vehicle entry or impose a restriction that prevents your booked vehicle from making the climb, the booking is treated as force majeure with a full refund or a free date change. We check the current position before your travel date so this should be rare, but the protection stands.

•             Weather — heavy rain or fog that makes the ghat road unsafe is treated the same way. We will not take a coach up a forty-hairpin road in conditions our driver judges unsafe, and you will not be charged for that decision.

•             Weddings — minimum 7-day notice for a full refund. Cancellations within 3 days of a Bangalore wedding are non-refundable.
