What is a luxury tempo traveller and what does it cost in Chennai?
A luxury tempo traveller has fewer, wider seats in a 2x1 layout, usually 9 to 12 leather pushback seats, plus LED mood lighting, an LED TV and a good music system. At RKV it costs ₹30 per km for outstation trips (250 km daily minimum, ₹800 driver bata per day), or ₹3,800 for 5 hours / 50 km and ₹7,500 for 10 hours / 100 km in Chennai.
More room, better seats, a calmer ride
A standard tempo traveller is built to carry people. A luxury tempo traveller is built to make them comfortable. With a 2x1 seat layout there are fewer seats, so each one is wider, and the aisle is big enough to walk without turning sideways.
The seats are padded leather with armrests and a deep recline. Ceiling LED panels and soft side lights set the mood for evening drives, curtains keep out the afternoon sun, and the front TV and speakers handle the playlist or a movie on long highways.
Families choose it for anniversaries, parents' trips and long tours where the journey is part of the holiday. Companies book it for visiting clients and senior teams. It is also the van we recommend for the bride's or groom's family on the wedding day.
