The drive
350 km · about 6 – 7 hours · NH-48 via Hosur, Krishnagiri, Vellore and Sriperumbudur.
Getting out of Bangalore is the slow part. From Whitefield or Devanahalli, add an hour before you are even on the Hosur road — factor that in if the drop is a flight or a fixed appointment.

Why book this as a one-way drop?
