Tempo Traveller Rental in Bangalore

The vehicles

• Tempo Traveller 12+1: twelve passengers plus the driver, the most common choice for families and small teams.
• Force Urbania 16+1: sixteen passengers in a modern, smoother-riding vehicle, popular with corporate groups.
• Mini bus: around twenty-one seats for larger groups, events and institutions.

All are available with AC, and the 12+1 and mini bus also come in non-AC versions. Features such as push-back seats, charging points and music systems vary between vehicles, so mention anything important when you book.

The Bangalore pickup problem, solved

With a group spread across Whitefield, Electronic City, Hebbal and Jayanagar, the hardest part of a trip can be getting everyone into the vehicle. We help you plan a pickup sequence that makes sense geographically, or suggest one or two central meeting points near the route out of the city. For trips heading south to Mysore or Coorg, a meeting point near NICE Road or Mysore Road saves a lot of time; for Chennai or Tirupati, somewhere near Hosur Road or Old Madras Road works better.

What Bangalore groups book us for

Corporate offsites

Coorg, Chikmagalur, Sakleshpur, Kabini, Wayanad and Nandi Hills are favourite offsite destinations. A fleet of Urbanias or a mini bus moves the team together, and our coordinators work with your admin or HR team on timings, pickup points and passenger lists.

Airport group transfers

Teams flying in for a conference, families arriving for a wedding, or tour groups landing at Kempegowda International Airport often need a single vehicle for everyone and their luggage. The driver tracks the flight and meets the group at the pick-up area.

Weekend trips with friends

Gokarna, Goa, Pondicherry, Ooty and Coorg trips are classic friends' getaways. A tempo traveller is often more economical per person than several cars, and far more fun.

Pilgrimages

Tirupati is the most popular group pilgrimage from Bangalore, frequently done overnight. Dharmasthala, Kukke Subramanya, Mantralayam, Sringeri and Sabarimala in season are also common. Drivers familiar with temple parking and timings make a real difference.

Weddings and events

Guest shuttles between hotels and venues, transfers to destination weddings in Mysore, Coorg or Chikmagalur, and family travel to weddings in other cities are all things we handle regularly.

Schools and colleges

Educational tours, industrial visits and sports team travel, with experienced drivers and itineraries planned around student timings.

Travel times for popular group routes

• Bangalore to Mysore: about three hours once out of the city.
• Bangalore to Coorg: five and a half to six and a half hours.
• Bangalore to Ooty: six and a half to seven and a half hours via Mysore and Bandipur; tempo travellers use the Gudalur ghat.
• Bangalore to Tirupati: five to six hours.
• Bangalore to Chikmagalur: around five hours.
• Bangalore to Goa: ten to eleven hours.

Luggage planning

Luggage is where group trips most often go wrong. A 12-seater full of passengers with large suitcases can be cramped, so for airport transfers or week-long trips, consider moving up to an Urbania or mini bus, or limiting bags to one medium suitcase per person. Roof carriers are available on some vehicles; for the monsoon, covered space inside is better. Sports equipment, sound systems for events and wedding supplies should be mentioned at booking.

Route restrictions for larger vehicles

Some roads are not suitable for tempo travellers and buses. The steep Kalhatti ghat to Ooty, certain narrow estate roads in Coorg and Chikmagalur and some Malnad ghats are examples. Forest stretches such as Bandipur have night traffic restrictions. Interstate trips need permits for Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana or Goa. Our team plans around these so your group does not get stuck.

Pricing in brief

Current rates for each vehicle are shown in the fare table on this page. Your quote includes fuel and the driver's allowance. Tolls, parking and interstate permits are generally extra and are listed separately. For multi-day trips, check whether your resort or hotel provides driver accommodation.
