Bike Shifting in Gunjur
Most people want their bike collected at the weekend. It's when they're home, when they can hand over the key in person and look at the pickup photos with the crew. In the inner parts of the city that's easy to arrange. Out in Gunjur, past Varthur around the lake, it takes a little more planning.

We cover Gunjur, but it's further out and there are fewer crews nearby on any given morning than on the ORR. Weekend slots fill first. Book a few days ahead and it's straightforward. Ring on Friday evening for Saturday and you may be offered Sunday afternoon instead.
Why weekends need booking ahead out here
On a weekday a crew finishing a job in Varthur can be in Gunjur twenty minutes later. On a Saturday, when everyone wants a slot and the jobs are spread right across the south-east, there are simply fewer people free nearby at the time you'd like. It's distance and demand, nothing more complicated.
So treat a weekend pickup in Gunjur like a weekend table at a busy restaurant. Book three or four days ahead and you'll usually get the morning you want. Book a week ahead near month end, when leases across the whole belt turn over together.
Festival weekends are tighter still. Long weekends around the big holidays see people heading out of the city and moving at the same time, and slots go quickly. If your move lands on one, book a week or more out.
If you can do a weekday, it's easier for everyone. Even a Friday morning, before you go to work, opens up far more options.
Making a weekday work if you're at the office
Lots of people assume they need to be home for a pickup. You don't, strictly. If someone else is around, a family member, a neighbour, the security guard at a villa community with your written say-so, they can hand over the key and papers, and the condition photos come to your phone.
In the newer gated communities and villa projects around Gunjur, security will usually want the bike logged with your permission before it leaves. Arrange that with the gate a day ahead and a weekday collection runs without you there.
Some people prefer to be there, and that's fine too. If a weekend is the only time you can be, consider an early slot on Sunday. Fewer people book Sundays than Saturdays out here, and the roads are at their quietest.
On the village side, where houses don't have a gate desk, a neighbour you trust is the usual answer.
Lanes, villas and the approach road
Gunjur mixes wide internal roads in the newer communities with tight village lanes and some half-finished approach roads. In the communities the carrier can usually get close to your door. In the village lanes it waits at the nearest road it can stand on and the bike is wheeled out.
The lake road is pretty and also narrow in stretches, with walkers and cyclists early in the morning, especially at weekends. The crew rides or wheels the bike along it slowly, and the carrier doesn't stop anywhere it would block the path.
Some of the approach roads go rough after rain, and projects mid-handover can change their access from one week to the next. Send us a quick video of your street when you book and we'll plan the spot, it takes you a minute and saves the crew guessing.
Villa garages here sometimes hold more than one bike, along with cycles and garden equipment. If yours is at the back, clear a route to it the night before so the crew isn't moving lawnmowers at eight in the morning.
Varthur Road is the way out and it bottlenecks at the peaks. A weekend morning is lighter than a weekday one, which is another reason people choose it, but the early hours are still best.
Scooty shifting from Gunjur
Scooters are common in the village core and among people renting in the newer stock. A scooty is wrapped and strapped the same way as a motorcycle, after its condition photos, with padding on the mirrors and handlebar, and it usually comes out a little cheaper because it's lighter and smaller.
If the scooter is your parent's or someone else's in the family, make sure they know the day and that the key is somewhere the stand-in can find it. It's surprisingly often the thing that holds up a weekday pickup out here.
Empty the storage under the seat before the day. If you're at work during a weekday pickup, do it the night before.
Bike and two wheeler transport out of Gunjur
Being further out, a run across Bangalore takes longer on the road than from the inner belt, which we factor into the delivery time we commit to. Within the south-east, to Varthur, Balagere or towards Sarjapur Road, it's a short hop and finishes the same day.
For longer trips the carrier heads out to the ORR and on towards Hoskote for Chennai and Hyderabad, both of which have frequent departures. Kerala routes are regular too, while small towns can mean waiting a little longer for a vehicle.
Keep the tank close to empty, since it's drained before loading. The crew needs copies of the RC and owner's ID. Price is set after a free survey and put in writing with GST, and if a villa or flat is moving too, the Gunjur packers page covers the household side.
