What a Chennai trip in an Urbania looks like
Built around the km the van actually runs, so the estimate above holds. Swap stops freely — the driver knows the alternatives.
Morning departure, breakfast at Krishnagiri, lunch near Vellore (Sripuram Golden Temple optional), evening at Marina Beach
Kapaleeshwarar Temple and Mahabalipuram, or airport and station drops, then the drive back to Bangalore
NH-48 via Hosur, Krishnagiri, Vellore and Sriperumbudur — four to six lanes almost all the way. A Tamil Nadu permit applies (billed at actuals). Chennai city traffic is heavy from 8 to 11 am and 5 to 9 pm, so the driver times arrivals around it.

Route guide: Bangalore to Chennai
Chennai is about 345 km from Bangalore on NH-48, the main Bangalore–Chennai highway through Hosur, Krishnagiri, Ambur, Vellore and Sriperumbudur. It is one of the best roads out of Bangalore, mostly four to six lanes, and the Urbania covers it in six to seven hours including a breakfast stop at Krishnagiri and a lunch break near Vellore or Ambur. Groups book an Urbania to Chennai for weddings, family functions, airport and port connections, and corporate visits to the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam industrial belt. Inside Chennai, Marina Beach, Mylapore's Kapaleeshwarar Temple and San Thome Basilica are close together, and Mahabalipuram's shore temple is about 55 km south along the East Coast Road. City running of 60 to 80 km over the trip is already included in the 760 km estimate.
