Which Cab Should You Choose for Tiruvannamalai?
Tiruvannamalai is typically a day or overnight pilgrimage trip, so a Sedan or Ertiga suits most visitors; larger groups doing Girivalam together can book a Tempo Traveller.
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 Tiruvannamalai when you only need the drop. A one-way drop suits pilgrims planning to stay longer at an ashram.
A round-trip cab keeps the same vehicle and driver for the return journey and any sightseeing in between. A round trip suits a day visit or an overnight stay around the full-moon Girivalam walk.
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.

The Vellore–Polur stretch narrows to two lanes in places, so fuel and food stops are more spread out than on the main NH44; plan accordingly.
