What Sets Essaar Travels Apart

Here are some reasons why booking an Esaar Travels bus may be suitable for your journey.
One of the widest town networks in the region
Essaar Travels serves more than seventy towns across Tamil Nadu and Kerala, including small centres such as Eppodumvendran, Authoor, Kurukkusalai, Meensurity and Gangaikonda Cholapuram that most intercity operators do not reach.
Named coach classes on every route
Rather than a generic AC or non-AC split, the operator publishes the coach against each route as either Volvo Eicher A/C sleeper-seater or Premium Sleeper, AC making it easier to select the bus type beforehand.
Strong coverage of the southern districts
Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Tiruchendur, Sathankulam, Kovilpatti, Sattur, Virudhunagar, Nagercoil, Marthandam, Valliyur and Kavalkinaru are all served, which is a belt that is poorly connected by other operators running out of the west.
Genuine Kerala network, not just a border crossing
Services run down the Kerala coast through Trivandrum, Kazhakootam, Attingal, Kollam, Karunagapally, Kayamkulam, Haripad, Ambalapuzha, Alappuzha, Cherthala, Ernakulam, Edappally, Kalamassery, Kodakara, Vadakkancherry, Alathur and Palakkad.
Hill-station services to Ooty
The operator runs to Ooty with an office there and at Mettupalayam on the ghat road, a corridor few private operators maintain year-round.
Tracking that starts an hour before boarding
Essaar activates live bus tracking one hour before boarding time and sends periodic SMS alerts on location and delays, with tracking fitted across almost all of its buses.
A single-lady seat provision
Once a seat is booked by a woman travelling alone, the adjacent seat is opened only to other women.
Date changes without cancelling
A confirmed ticket can be moved earlier or later through the Modify or Cancel tab; the fare returns as a full-value coupon by email, valid for five hours.
Self-service ticket handling
Tickets can be printed, updated, cancelled, postponed or preponed, tracked, downloaded or re-sent by SMS and email from the operator’s own site, which also carries a refund status page. Tickets booked on redBus are managed on redBus, with Free Cancellation and Flexi Ticket on eligible bookings and live refund tracking.

High-quality air conditioning
Blankets for overnight journeys
Central television
Onboard Wi-Fi
Charging points at the seat
Complimentary water bottle
CCTV cameras
Single lady seat provision

Premium seats are priced higher than standard seats. Amenities differ between coaches, so the amenity icons shown against each service on redBus are the reliable guide when booking.

Essaar Travels Branch Offices and Bus Boarding Points

Boarding points differ by city and by service. The operator runs its own offices in the towns below:
City

Passengers can call 8489910605 in Chennai and 9843236436 in Ooty for booking enquiries. Keep in mind that a branch office is not always the boarding point for a given service. The exact boarding address, pickup point and reporting time for a booking are listed against the selected service on redBus for the chosen travel date.

Booking Rules and Travel Documents of Essar Travels Buses

Advance booking on Essaar Travels opens up to 30 days before the date of travel.
Passengers travel on an M-Ticket and a valid photo ID. A printout is not required, and the confirmation SMS is accepted at boarding.
Children above the age of five require a full ticket.
Phone booking is available on 8489910650. However, booking on redBus is quicker, with seat selection, boarding points and fares all on one screen.
Where a service is cancelled by the operator, passengers are informed in advance

Luggage Policy of Essaar Travels Buses

Luggage allowance on Essaar Travels services follows the usual intercity practice of one main bag in the hold plus one piece of hand baggage per passenger, and varies by coach and route. Passengers carrying more than this, or carrying oversized items, should confirm with the operator before travel.
Cancellation Policy for Essaar Travels Buses
A confirmed ticket can be postponed or preponed through the Modify or Cancel tab without cancelling outright. The fare returns as a full-value coupon by email, which must be used within five hours, and any price difference on a cheaper replacement ticket is not refunded.

Cancellation terms are set by the operator and vary by service and by how close to departure the ticket is cancelled. The operator provides a refund status page on its own site. The exact cancellation charge and refund applicable to a booking must be checked before payment, and again on the ticket.

Tickets booked on redBus are cancelled on redBus, where the charge and the refund due are shown on screen before the cancellation is confirmed. Free Cancellation and Flexi Ticket apply on eligible bookings, and Instant Refund returns the money without the usual wait.
