Tata Ace
Live rate at booking
Book Tata AceRight at the Hosur Road exit
Electronics City sits on the elevated Hosur Road, about 20 km from the Tamil Nadu border. For anyone sending goods toward Chennai, Salem or Madurai, that is a head start: the vehicle is past the city before it has really started. Around it are Bommasandra, Jigani and Attibele, with electronics assembly, EMS suppliers, pharma packaging and a lot of e-commerce fulfilment centres. A good share of their outbound is small, high-value and time-bound. That is where a Tata Ace for rent in Electronics City earns its place.
TruckGuru books the Ace with driver for intercity trips over 100 km. Your consignment rides alone and goes straight to the receiver. We do not run deliveries inside Bangalore, and Hosur and Krishnagiri are under 100 km, so those are outside our service too.
Closed body, almost always
For what moves out of Electronics City, the open Ace is the exception. IT hardware, networking gear, PCBs in ESD packaging, and sealed seller cartons all want the closed-body version, which carries up to 1.5 ton and keeps out dust and rain. The open Ace carries up to 1,100 kg and suits metal fixtures and crated equipment that can take a tarpaulin.
Electronics are light for their volume. A load of monitors or UPS units often fills the deck at 600 kg. If your carton count is high, send dimensions; a 14FT Eicher may turn out to be the single trip you need instead of two Aces. Compare options on the truck type page.
Where Electronics City goods go
| Destination | Road distance | Road time |
| Salem | about 180 km | Same day possible, otherwise next day |
| Vellore | about 200 km | 1 day |
| Tirupati | about 240 km | 1 day |
| Chennai | about 330 km | 1 day |
| Coimbatore | about 340 km | 1 day |
| Madurai | about 420 km | 1 day |
The Attibele check post and the Hosur stretch after it are where time goes. A vehicle crossing before 8 AM usually clears it in minutes; mid-morning it can be 40 minutes. For Chennai, where most receiving docks at Sriperumbudur and Oragadam take goods only till early evening, we would load in Electronics City before 8 AM.

Keep the invoice with the driver. For expensive hardware, arrange transit insurance on your side; it is not included in the fare.

You get a digital Lorry Receipt at loading, GPS tracking to delivery, and a GST invoice after it. Loading and unloading labour is arranged by you.
