I'm very disappointed by VRL services I had to reach the destination by 6 AM it's 8:21 AM still in the bus and showing one more hour to reach the destination. Please do arrange replacement bus or refund in such cases. Bus is very as slow running at 30kmph. This is the third time i am facing this issue, this time i will take this issue legally if I don’t get any response from VRL.

      Address: Fl/no: 304, Nakshathra Residency, Street no:7, Beside Renova Hospital line Kompally , Medchal road, Petbasheerbag, Hyderabad, Telangana, 500067.

      From Hyderabad to Gokarna, we have a bus reservation made. We received a call from the VRL travel agency informing us of a roadblock on the Gokarna route. The VRL bus was canceled since there was no backup bus available, according to our bus partner ABIBUS, who also informed us of the incident.
      It is evident from this that we cannot rely on them and reserve the bus because they are untrustworthy and It is terrible that they ended the call without providing the passengers with a decent response.

      Very worst

        Myself Adithya D A, the passenger traveling from Bangalore to Mantralay.
        I booked bus at may 29 2024 and the pick up point was Rajarajeshwari Nagar Kanthi sweet at 8.15pm, I waited till 9.30 the bus didn't come and I called the them they told the bus has left the place and told to come to anadha roa circle by your own transport.
        Then what's the use of me booking ticket from rajarajeswari nagar, I wasted my money on cab also who will refund that?
        This is worst critical condition I have faced in vrl.
        Vrl being old and famous company does like this, then it's waste booking vrl.
        # worst VRL agency.

        Please rise the complaint and help me about this.
        I will be awaiting for your response.

              I am travelling back from Goa to Bangalore and the driver stopped at 12:30 at Karwar for dinner and we were told 20 mins for dinner. Everyone on the bus got down but my daughter was unwell so she was sleeping. We did not know that the driver was locking the bus ( he did not inform). Everyone had the food and came and tried to open the bus but it was not opening I too tried but people told me sir it's locked so I did not try again, after abt 5 mins the driver came and tried to open the door but it was not opening then the back up driver came and tried to do something and he started yelling at all the passengers asking who tried to open the door, tell them to talk to me and shouting at the top of his voice, I walked up and asked him what happened and we got into an argument he is a very rude person please take action against this behaviour. First for locking the bus and not informing the passengers, there were senior citizens standing and waiting the least they could have done was to inform that if you want to go inside just let us know, they did not do that and all this drama happen.

                  As we have booked AC coach bus yesterday from almatti to Bangalore (11/04/2024) and when we started journey it was AC bus and in middle of journey AC stopped working and at Chitradurga they have made us to change bus due to AC. And they have provided the non AC coach from Chitradurga.

                        I booked my house shifting consignment from Chennai to Hyderabad through VRL company, it turned out to be fraudulent company. They promised me high quality truck to carry my consignment but sent a small truck. They jam packed all the house holds as a result all the sensitive material got damaged when I received in my new home (Hyderabad). They collected huge insurance amount but they are refusing to pay for the damaged items. Kindly take some action against these fradusters. Following are the numbers of sales team.

                              Initially i was trying to book 2 seats, at the end i got error and couldn't confirm seats. Even i checked booking section I didn't get any message related to debited amount. Later i booked 2 seats and got message from bank related to debit of amount from my account... After that i got your message of earlier bookings . Kindly look into it..and refund my amount

                                Hello,

                                I'm writing about VRL Bus Bad Experience. I was travelled with banglore to Goa on Dec 23rd 2023.

                                After I book, I didn't got any proper details about bus like bus driver contact number, bus number, Tracking details. I Received only PNR Number and bus timings.We have enquire the bus details with their reception each time. Because everyone asking the bus details.

                                After I got bus, They didn't provide water bottle, Blunkets. VRL Bus mentioned arrival time 8.15 am To Goa but it reached by 12 pm 3 hours 45 minutes delay. They don't have proper alert messages, Apologies email too. If you guys wanna reach on time better avoid VRL Travels.

                                Note : While return back to banglore, we need show the ticket for Using the Toilet.

                                Thanks for Good service VRL Bus service.

                                  I'm traveling from Bangalore to Mumbai
                                  They haven't stopped for food or washroom
                                  They stopped for lunch at 4 and then straight for dinner at 12 midnight also they didn't stop any where for washroom.
                                  After paying soo much money they couldn't stop for food??

They should drop us first at narol and then they do the same. 5000/- charger only VRL taken from Pune to Ahmedabad and this service not suggest anyone to travel with VRL west to money and west of time.

                                      *Travelling from Banglore to Vijayapur AC Coach KA25D4788, No washroom stop for ladies around hospet. Requested to stop at any Petrol pump or hotels or tolls, but stops at tea stalls. Worst services being health issues, kind request request request to notify and resolve it, being standard travel agency should resolve the issue taking it seriously.*
