Which Cab Should You Choose for Kanchipuram?
Kanchipuram is usually a single-day temple and shopping trip, so a Sedan or Ertiga suits most visitors.
Sedan
Best for: 1–4 passengers, couples, light luggage, budget-focused one-way or round trips.
Ertiga
Best for: 4–6 passengers, small families, moderate luggage.
Innova Crysta
Best for: families wanting extra cabin space, senior travellers, multi-day pilgrimage or leisure trips.
Tempo Traveller / Urbania (9–17 seater)
Best for: groups larger than six, temple pilgrimage groups, corporate teams and joint-family tours.
Mini Bus (20–32 seater)
Best for: large pilgrimage groups, wedding parties and school/college trips needing one vehicle for everyone.
One-Way & Round Trip Options
Book a one-way cab from Bangalore to Kanchipuram when you only need the drop. A one-way drop suits travellers continuing onward to Chennai or Mahabalipuram.
A round-trip cab keeps the same vehicle and driver for the return journey and any sightseeing in between. A round trip suits a one-day temple and silk-shopping visit from Bangalore.
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.
