Tempo Traveller Rental in Bengaluru: 9 to 16-Seat AC Vans for Group Travel

What are the seats, luggage and specs of a tempo traveller?

Each layout adds forward-facing bench seats down the length of the van rather than stacking rows like a bus, which keeps sightlines and legroom reasonable even in the 16+1 configuration.

Who should book a tempo traveller?

A tempo traveller suits a group that's outgrown even a full Innova but doesn't need a bus's capacity — a 9 to 16-person office offsite, a wedding party moving guests between venues, a college or club group heading out for the day, or an extended family travelling together for a function or a hill trip. The 9+1 layout works for a tight group that still wants more room per person than a van packed to capacity; the 16+1 suits the largest single-vehicle groups before a bus becomes the better call.

If your group tops 16, or you need under-deck luggage storage rather than a roof carrier, see the bus page. If you want the newer, more cushioned version of this same seating range, compare against the Urbania below.

Tempo Traveller vs Urbania: which one for your trip?

Both vehicles seat up to 16 across the same 9+1, 12+1 and 16+1 layout options, so the choice isn't about capacity — it's about the vehicle underneath. The tempo traveller is the longer-established Force platform, widely used across Karnataka and Kerala for exactly this kind of group transfer, with a straightforward bench-seat layout and a roof carrier for extra bags.

The Urbania is Force's newer van, built with a more modern cabin and available in massage-seat variants on request. For a wedding transfer or short group tour where budget efficiency matters most, the tempo traveller is the well-proven option. For a longer trip, a corporate offsite where in-cabin comfort reflects on the event, or any booking where the massage-seat option is the deciding factor, the Urbania is worth requesting specifically. Tell us your group size and the occasion, and we'll confirm which is available.

Which trips suit a tempo traveller?

Tempo travellers are a common choice for wedding guest transfers between a venue, a hotel block and the airport or station, where multiple pickup points make a single large vehicle more practical than several sedans. They also suit group day trips to nearby destinations covered on the tour packages page — the Nandi Hills run, the Kolar temple trail, or a multi-stop office offsite — where the group wants to travel and arrive together.

For a longer outstation group trip to Coorg, Wayanad or Mysore, a tempo traveller works well too, provided the group has confirmed the roof carrier can handle the luggage load — for a multi-day trip with full suitcases per person, ask about the roof carrier's capacity before you book.
