How Much Does a Tempo Traveller Rent Cost Per Km in Delhi in 2026?

Tempo traveller rent in Delhi starts at Rs 23 per km for a 9 seater and goes up to Rs 32 per km for a 25 seater, with rates rising in steps as seating capacity increases. This is the direct answer most people search for before they even open a booking page, so let’s break down exactly what you pay for each seater, why the price changes, and how to book the right one without overpaying.

Why does tempo traveller price per km change with seat count?

A bigger tempo traveller means a bigger Force Motors chassis, higher fuel consumption, and a higher driver allowance — so the per km rate climbs along with capacity. Here is how delhitempotravellers.com prices its fleet for outstation travel:

• 9 Seater – Rs 23/km, driver charges Rs 500/day
• 12 Seater – Rs 24/km
• 14 Seater – Rs 25/km, driver charges Rs 600/day
• 16 Seater (Luxury) – Rs 26/km, driver charges Rs 600/day
• 17 Seater – Rs 29/km, driver charges Rs 700/day
• 18 Seater – Rs 28/km, driver charges Rs 700/day
• 20 Seater – Rs 30/km, driver charges Rs 700/day
• 25 Seater – Rs 32/km, driver charges Rs 700/day
• Maharaja Tempo Traveller (9 to 20 seater, recliner seats) – starting Rs 25/km

These are starting rates and can shift slightly with vehicle model, AC/non-AC choice, and season.

What is included in the per km fare?

When you rent a tempo traveller in Delhi, the quoted per km rate is not the whole bill. It generally covers:

• Fuel cost for the entire distance travelled, garage to garage
• Driver charges (billed separately per day, not per km)
• Basic maintenance and vehicle upkeep

It usually does not include toll tax, state entry permit charges, parking fees, monument entry tickets, or driver’s night halt allowance (commonly Rs 500 per night for overnight outstation trips).

How is the total fare calculated for an outstation trip?

Real scenario: Suppose a family of 10 wants a 12 seater tempo traveller from Delhi to a hill station 600 km away (return trip, so 1200 km total).

• Per km fare: Rs 24 x 1200 km = Rs 28,800
• Driver charges: Rs 600/day (approx, varies by seater) x number of days
• Add applicable state tax and toll charges

Most companies, including delhitempotravellers.com, apply a minimum distance of 250 km for outstation bookings, so even a short outstation trip is billed at 250 km minimum even if the actual distance is less.

What does a Delhi local tour cost instead of per km billing?

For sightseeing within Delhi, tempo traveller companies usually offer a flat local package instead of per km billing:

• 9 Seater local (8 hours/80 km): around Rs 3,000–3,500
• 14 Seater local (8 hours/80 km): around Rs 3,200–3,600
• 18 Seater local (8 hours/80 km): around Rs 4,500
• 20 Seater local (8 hours/80 km): around Rs 4,800
• 25 Seater local (8 hours/80 km): around Rs 5,400

Extra hours or extra kilometres beyond this package are charged separately.

From where can you hire a tempo traveller in Delhi?

Tempo traveller rental in Delhi is available for pickup from almost any point in Delhi NCR, including:

• Home or hotel pickup anywhere in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad
• Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, both Terminal 2 and Terminal 3
• New Delhi Railway Station, Old Delhi Railway Station, and Hazrat Nizamuddin
• Corporate offices and event venues for staff transport or wedding logistics

Since the operator’s office is based centrally in Delhi, pickup and drop can usually be arranged with same-day or next-day notice, subject to fleet availability.

Does the price change during festival season?

Yes. Tempo traveller rent per km in Delhi typically rises during peak season — summer holidays, Diwali, Christmas–New Year week, and major wedding dates in November–December — because demand for outstation trips to hill stations and pilgrimage circuits spikes. Booking a week or two in advance during these periods usually locks in a better rate than a last-minute booking.

Which seater should you actually book?

• 9–12 seater: best for small families or friend groups doing a same-day Agra trip or airport transfer
• 14–17 seater: ideal for mid-size office outings or a Char Dham/Haridwar group
• 18–20 seater: suited to wedding guest transport or a school/college trip
• 25 seater and above: best for large corporate events or big family functions
