How much does it cost to rent a 21 seater tempo traveller in Chennai?
A 21 seater tempo traveller is ₹29 per km for outstation trips, with a minimum of 250 km per day and ₹800 per day driver bata. Local packages are ₹4,500 for 5 hours / 50 km and ₹9,000 for 10 hours / 100 km.
A two-day Bengaluru round trip (about 690 km) comes to roughly ₹21,600, plus toll and the Karnataka permit.
The biggest tempo traveller before you need a bus
A 21 seater sits right between a tempo traveller and a mini bus. It carries a big group, yet it still goes where buses struggle: narrow temple streets, resort driveways and hairpin bends on the way to Kodaikanal.
These are our longest Force Travellers, with a high roof, a clear aisle and a big rear boot. The AC is ducted down the full length of the cabin, so the last row is as cool as the first. Every seat pushes back and has a seat belt.
Event companies, schools and large families book the 21 seater when a bus would be overkill. If your number is above 21, we can pair it with a 12 seater or arrange one of our coaches, and run both vehicles on one plan.

21 seater tempo traveller rental: questions people ask
Is a 21 seater tempo traveller the same as a mini bus?
No. It's a long-body tempo traveller, so it's narrower and easier on hill and city roads than a mini bus. For 24 seats and above, we provide mini buses and coaches.
What is the 21 seater tempo traveller per km rate in Chennai?
₹29 per km for outstation trips, with a 250 km daily minimum and ₹800 driver bata per day.
Can a 21 seater go to Ooty or Kodaikanal?
Yes. Our drivers handle these ghat roads regularly. A hill charge applies, and we plan the timing so you climb the ghat in daylight.
Is there a local package for a 21 seater?
Yes. ₹4,500 for 5 hours and 50 km, or ₹9,000 for 10 hours and 100 km. Extra hours are ₹450 each.
We have 30 people. What do you suggest?
A 21 seater plus a 12 seater usually works best, or a single mini bus. Call us and we will compare both for your route.
