A Practical Guide to Booking a Tempo Traveller on Rent (And what NOT to do) - vinodkumar - 02-10-2026
Planning a group trip is 10% picking the destination and 90% figuring out how to move everyone without losing your mind. If you’re looking at a Tempo Traveller on Rent, I’ve learned a few things the hard way that might save you some cash and a lot of backaches:
1. Check the Configuration: Not all 12-seaters are equal. Ask for the "1x1 Maharaja" seating if you want luxury, or the "2x1" for standard.
2. The AC Test: In 2026, most travellers have roof-mounted AC. Always ask if it has a "separate compressor" for the rear cabin if not, the back seats will be an oven in the summer.
3. The Kilometer Trap: Some operators offer a low base rate but charge "Driver Bhatta" and "Garage-to-Garage" kilometers. Ensure your quote for a Tempo Traveller on Rent includes all inclusive pricing (Tolls, State Taxes, Driver).
4. Safety: Check the tires. It sounds basic, but on long highway hauls, worn out tires on a heavy vehicle are a huge risk.
My Verdict: For any group larger than 8, it beats 2 Innovas any day. You save roughly 30% on fuel and tolls alone.
Has anyone used the newer EV Tempo Travellers yet? Looking for feedback on their range for hill stations!
