For 8–10 people with luggage, a 12 or 13-seater Tempo Traveller is the most economical. For 11–16 people, choose a 17-seater. For 17–20 people, a 20-seater works best. If you want premium comfort, the Force Urbania (17-seater) is a step above a standard Tempo Traveller.
Indicative rates start at ₹22 per km for a 12 or 13-seater, ₹28 per km for a 17-seater and ₹32 per km for a 20-seater, plus driver allowance of ₹400–₹500 per day. A 250 km per day minimum applies to outstation trips, and tolls, parking, permits and GST are charged extra.
Popular 2-day trips include Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani, the Ashtavinayak darshan circuit, Ganpatipule and the Konkan coast, Nashik and Trimbakeshwar, and Lonavala with Khandala. Goa is best planned over 3 days.
