What is the price of an 18 seater tempo traveller in Chennai?
An 18 seater tempo traveller costs ₹26 per km for outstation trips (250 km minimum per day) plus ₹800 driver bata per day. For local use, it is ₹3,500 for 5 hours / 50 km and ₹7,000 for 10 hours / 100 km.
For example, a same-day Tiruvannamalai trip (about 390 km round trip) is about ₹11,000, plus toll.
Built for the whole group
Once your group crosses 16, splitting into two vehicles starts to cost real money. An 18 seater keeps everyone together for less, and on a long day of temple visits or wedding errands that matters more than people expect.
Our 18 seaters are long-body, high-roof Force Travellers. The extra length gives a proper aisle, so people can move to the back without climbing over bags. Seats are pushback, the AC is ducted to every row, and the rear holds around ten suitcases with more on the roof carrier.
Corporate clients book these for staff transport, plant visits in Sriperumbudur and Oragadam, and offsite events. Families book them for weddings, where one van can do the hall-hotel-home loop all day.
