One-Way & Round Trip Options
Book a one-way cab from Bangalore to Horsley Hills when you only need the drop. A one-way drop is uncommon; most visitors do a same-day or overnight round trip.
A round-trip cab keeps the same vehicle and driver for the return journey and any sightseeing in between. A round trip is standard, either a day trip or a 1-night stay at the hilltop resort.
Multi-day round trips are billed on total kilometres run plus driver bata per night halt (minimum daily km applies as per the vehicle chosen) — request a specific quotation for your dates.

Interstate Permit & Tax Note
Andhra Pradesh is outside Karnataka, so the cab needs an interstate tourist permit and the applicable state entry tax/green tax to cross the border legally. BLR Cabs arranges these on your behalf — the cost is added to the final bill as an actual, over and above the estimated per-km fare.
