Tempo Traveller Rental in Mysore

Pick the size that fits your group

Tempo Traveller 12+1

Twelve passenger seats plus the driver. The workhorse of group travel in South India, ideal for extended families and small groups. Available in AC and non-AC versions. Luggage goes in the rear or on the roof carrier, depending on the vehicle.

Force Urbania 16+1

Sixteen passenger seats in a newer, more car-like vehicle with a smoother ride, larger windows and a quieter cabin. A good choice for longer journeys, corporate groups and anyone who wants a little more comfort.

Mini bus

Around twenty-one seats for larger family groups, wedding parties, schools and associations. Available with or without AC. Exact seating layouts can vary, so confirm the configuration when you book.

A simple rule: count your passengers, then think about luggage. A full 12-seater with suitcases for a week away can feel tight, so for long trips with heavy bags, moving up a size is often worth it.

Group trips we plan most often from Mysore

Pilgrimages

Mysore families and community groups travel together to Tirupati, Dharmasthala, Kukke Subramanya, Sringeri, Horanadu, Male Mahadeshwara Hills, Guruvayur and Sabarimala. A tempo traveller lets elders, children and everyone in between travel at the same pace, stop at the same temples and share the experience. Our drivers know the parking arrangements at major temples and the timing quirks, such as the Alipiri checkpoint at Tirupati.

Weddings and family functions

Mysore is a popular wedding city, with venues ranging from heritage properties to large convention halls. We provide tempo travellers and mini buses for guest shuttles between hotels and the venue, for the bride's or groom's party travelling from another town, and for the post-wedding temple visits that many families make. Tell us the schedule and we will coordinate pickups.

Dasara

Groups visiting Mysore for Dasara need transport that can handle crowds and traffic diversions. A tempo traveller with a local driver who knows which roads are closed on procession day, and where to park near the palace illumination, makes the festival far more enjoyable.

School and college trips

Educational tours to Srirangapatna, Somanathapura, Shravanabelagola, Belur and Halebidu, or nature trips to Bandipur and Ranganathittu, are common. For school groups, we can provide vehicles with experienced drivers and plan the itinerary around student timings.

Corporate offsites and team outings

Companies in Mysore's industrial areas and IT campuses use our tempo travellers for team outings to Coorg, Kabini, Chikmagalur and Wayanad, as well as for airport transfers when a team travels together.

Popular group routes from Mysore

• Mysore to Coorg: an easy three-hour drive with no forest closure, though some homestay roads are too narrow for larger vehicles.
• Mysore to Ooty: tempo travellers take the longer Gudalur ghat rather than the steep Kalhatti route, and must cross Bandipur before the night closure.
• Mysore to Bangalore and the airport: group transfers via the expressway.
• Mysore to Tirupati: the most requested pilgrimage, usually over two or three days.
• Mysore to Dharmasthala and Kukke: a coastal temple circuit through the Western Ghats.

Luggage and comfort

Group trips often carry more than people expect: pooja items, gifts, food, wedding outfits and, on pilgrimages, the extra bag for prasadam. Tell us roughly how many bags you will carry. Roof carriers are available on some vehicles; covered luggage space is better in the monsoon. Push-back seats, charging points and music systems vary by vehicle, so ask if these matter to you.

Ghats, forests and permits

Larger vehicles face a few restrictions that cars do not. Some ghats, such as the Kalhatti ghat to Ooty, are not suitable for tempo travellers, and some narrow estate roads in Coorg and Chikmagalur cannot take them. Forest routes through Bandipur and Sathyamangalam have night traffic restrictions. Interstate travel needs permits for Kerala, Tamil Nadu and other states, which we arrange in advance. Our team plans the route with all this in mind.

How tempo traveller fares work

The fare table on this page shows current rates for each vehicle type. Fuel and the driver's allowance are included in the quoted fare. Tolls, parking and interstate permits are usually extra and are listed separately. For multi-day trips, the driver's overnight allowance is part of the round-trip pricing; check whether your hotel or homestay provides driver accommodation.

Booking tips for groups

• Book early for Dasara, the wedding season and school holidays, when demand for larger vehicles is highest.
• Share a list of pickup points if guests are joining from different places in Mysore.
• Appoint one person as the group coordinator to stay in touch with the driver.
• Plan regular stops every two to three hours on long routes, especially with elders and children.
