Chennai to Vellore Taxi — Distance, Time & NH48

Chennai to Vellore is about 140 km and takes two and a half to three hours on NH48. It is an easy, mostly straight run on four-lane highway and one of the more common short-distance bookings we handle.

Travelling to Vellore for Hospital Visits

A large share of the traffic on this route is medical. Vellore's hospital draws patients from across South India and beyond, and appointments there start early, which means a lot of our departures from Chennai are before dawn. If you are travelling for a consultation, book the return leg at the same time — outpatient timings run long and finding a cab back at short notice is harder than it should be.

Comfort for Patients and Elderly Passengers

For passengers who are unwell or elderly, an SUV is worth the difference on this route even though the distance is short: the extra legroom and the easier step-in matter more than the speed.

Golden Temple and Vellore Fort

If you have time either side of the trip, the Golden Temple at Sripuram is about 8 km from the city, and Vellore Fort with its Jalakandeswarar temple sits in the middle of town. Both fit into a couple of hours.

Combining Vellore with a Longer Trip

The route is also a natural stop on the longer Chennai–Bangalore run, so if you are continuing westward it costs little to build in a halt here.

Leaving Chennai without losing an hour

The drive is 140 km and about three hours, but that figure assumes you get out of Chennai cleanly. Between eight and ten in the morning, and again from five in the evening, the run to the city limits alone can add an hour. Early departures are the answer and are entirely normal on this route — a car at six in the morning has you in Vellore before nine.

Straight from the airport to Vellore

Chennai airport sits on the south-west side of the city, which is the side the Vellore highway leaves from. That makes an airport pickup genuinely shorter than a pickup from the centre, and it is why so many people travelling to CMC fly into Chennai and drive straight out rather than staying a night. Send us the flight number and the driver tracks the actual landing; on international arrivals the wait through immigration and baggage is included in the planning rather than charged as a surprise.

Kanchipuram on the way out

Kanchipuram lies a short distance off the highway, roughly halfway. For anyone who is not travelling to a fixed appointment it is the one detour on this route worth making — the temples and the silk weavers are both close to the road. It adds an hour and a half if done properly. Decide at booking rather than in the car, so the fare reflects it.

Where to be dropped in Vellore

Vellore is spread out and the right drop point is not obvious from a map. The CMC campus has more than one entrance and they are not interchangeable when you are arriving with a patient. Katpadi, the main railway station, is several kilometres from the town centre. VIT is on the Chennai side of the city, so it is reached before the centre rather than after. Name the gate or the building rather than just the institution and the last twenty minutes stop being the hardest part of the journey.

Appointment mornings

If the trip is built around a hospital appointment, work backwards from it and add more margin than feels necessary. Registration queues start early, and arriving an hour before you need to is far cheaper than missing a slot that took weeks to get. We run this route through the night for exactly this reason, and a two or three in the morning departure from Chennai is a routine booking here, not a special request.

💡 Journey Highlights & Scenic Spots
  • Fast four-lane NH48 the whole way
  • Optional detour to Kanchipuram's silk showrooms and temples
  • The Palar river basin approaching Vellore
🛣️ Travel Tips & Recommended Stops
  • Start early to clear Chennai city traffic — mornings are the smoothest time to leave.
  • Plan your meal break around Sriperumbudur — the natural comfort stop on this route with clean highway restaurants.
  • Tolls on this route are charged as actuals — our cars carry FASTag, so the journey stays cash-free.
  • This is an all-Tamil Nadu route — no inter-state permit charges apply.
☀️ Best Time to Travel

October to March offers the most pleasant weather for this journey. We operate year-round, and an early-morning departure helps you beat city traffic and arrive relaxed.

Frequently Asked Questions — Chennai to Vellore Taxi

How much does a Chennai to Vellore taxi cost?
The one-way drop taxi fare from Chennai to Vellore starts from ₹2260, covering fuel, the driver and the driver bata. You only pay for the one-way distance, with no return charges. Tolls (shown as an approximate figure beside the fare), any state permit, parking and a night allowance if the car runs between 10 PM and 6 AM are extra, paid at actuals.

We offer well-maintained 4-seater Sedans (Dzire, Etios or similar), 7-seater SUVs (Ertiga, Innova) and premium Innova Crysta for family and group travel. All vehicles are clean, air-conditioned and driven by experienced highway drivers.
Can I book a Chennai to Vellore taxi for early morning or midnight pickup?
Yes, our taxi service runs 24/7 including late-night and early-morning pickups. For pickups between 11 PM and 5 AM we recommend booking at least 6 hours in advance so we can confirm your driver on time.
Will the driver pick me up from my home in Chennai?
Yes, we provide doorstep pickup anywhere in Chennai — home, office, hotel, airport or railway station — and drop you at any address in Vellore.
Is a one way taxi cheaper than a round trip from Chennai to Vellore?
For a single journey, yes — with a one way drop taxi you pay only for the distance you travel, while an outstation round-trip fare bills both legs even if you return empty. If you plan to come back the same day with the driver waiting, ask us for a round-trip quote and compare.
Which is better — taxi, bus or train from Chennai to Vellore?
Buses and trains are cheaper for solo travellers, but a taxi picks you up at your door, leaves on your schedule, carries your luggage with you, and lets you stop en route. For families or 3-4 people travelling together, the per-person cost of a cab is usually comparable to bus or train tickets.

No. The fare covers fuel, the driver and the driver bata.

The driver shows you the FASTag deduction or permit receipt for anything paid on the way.
