Bengaluru · Kempegowda International Airport (BLR)
Sarjapur Road to Bangalore airport
This is the hardest airport run in Bengaluru. Fifty-five kilometres, 74 minutes at 5am and 123 minutes at 7pm.
Forty-nine minutes of difference at the same ₹1,550. No other route on this site has a spread like it, and we would rather tell you now than at the gate.
What it costs
Quoted for Wipro, Sarjapur Road on 1 August 2026. Your exact pickup address will shift it a little, which is why the button above gives you the real number for your trip.
Shoffr does not have surge pricing, so this fare is the same at 5am as it is at 7pm. It changes only if you add a stop or alter the route. What changes with the hour is how long the drive takes.
How long it takes

The route
Outer Ring Road east and north to Hebbal
Sarjapur Road out to the ORR at Agara or Bellandur, north past Marathahalli and KR Puram to Hebbal, then Bellary Road.
The trip is two slow corridors in series — Sarjapur Road itself, then the ring road east.
Where the car meets you
In Sarjapur Road
The kilometre marker or the nearest named junction, and which side of the road. Sarjapur Road's median gaps are far apart and a U-turn here is expensive.
At Kempegowda International Airport
Shoffr picks up from the premium lane in front of the arrivals gate, so you are not walking out to a distant parking zone with your bags.
Collect your luggage and call your chauffeur. He brings the car to the lane and loads the bags. Fifteen minutes of waiting is included on every airport pickup.
Departures drop is at the terminal kerb. There is no entry charge for cars at Bengaluru airport.
Terminal allocation at Bengaluru moves between T1 and T2 more often than people expect. Check the terminal on your boarding pass rather than going from memory, and tell us if it changed.
What is happening on this route
The 131-minute figure is the airport-to-Sarjapur-Road direction at 9am. If you are landing mid-morning, that is the number to plan around.
As of August 2026Metro Blue Line works on the ORR affect the whole northbound leg. Nothing on this corridor improves before 2027.
As of 2026
Flying out of Bengaluru
Leave two hours before your flight
Bengaluru traffic police issued that advice in March 2026 while flyover approach widening runs from KR Puram to Hebbal and metro construction runs along Bellary Road at Kempapura Cross, Kodigehalli and Byatarayanapura. It is a police statement rather than an estimate, and it is the number we plan on.
Sadahalli is a worksite until about April 2027
A 700-metre underpass has been under construction at Sadahalli since January 2026 on a fifteen-month build. It will remove the only signal between Hebbal and the airport. Until then it is a diversion on the final approach, and it affects every locality in this list.
Frequently asked questions
What time should I leave for an 8pm flight?
Two hours of driving, plus check-in. From Sarjapur Road that means leaving around 4pm for an 8pm departure. It sounds excessive until you have missed one.
Does the fare go up in the evening peak?
No. ₹1,550 at 5am and ₹1,550 at 7pm, for a drive that takes 74 minutes or 123. The chauffeur's time in traffic is our problem, not yours.
Where exactly will the car be at Bengaluru airport?
In the premium lane in front of the arrivals gate. Collect your luggage, call your chauffeur, and he pulls the car up and loads the bags.
Does the fare change at 5am, or in the evening peak?
No. Shoffr does not have surge pricing, so the fare is fixed whatever time you travel. It changes only if you add a stop or alter the route.
Which car will I get?
A BYD e6 — a silent, Innova-sized electric SUV that seats 4 adults with 4 large suitcases. Same car every time, so you know what is arriving.
What happens if my flight is late?
Share your flight number when you book and we will do our best to keep the car waiting for you. Fifteen minutes of waiting is included and a small charge applies after that. If the delay starts to affect other guests' trips, we may have to cancel.
Can I book at short notice?
We suggest booking three to four hours ahead, and further ahead during peak hours. Shoffr is pre-booked only — there is no car-in-three-minutes button.
