When you type in tempo traveller 17 seater rate per km you only want a number. But for a well-known company like Tejas Travels, giving a single charge per kilometer can be misleading. The ultimate price is based on a number of elements that are meant to be clear and fair to both the consumer and the service provider.
A long-distance tour package has more than one fee, unlike a cab ride within a city. To avoid any hidden fees, reputable companies like Tejas Travels usually give you the complete cost of the package instead of just a rate per kilometer.
Here’s a full list of what affects the price.
The Standard Pricing Model (An Estimate)
A fixed pricing per kilometer is not common for packages, however for the sake of assessment, the running cost for a 17-seater Tempo Traveller can usually be between ₹22 and ₹32 per kilometer for the basic distance traversed.
But this is just the beginning. Most of the time, the price of the final package is based on a per-day package or a complete tour package that includes a set number of kilometers per day.
The per-day package rate is a better way to think about it:
Local Sightseeing (8-hour/80 km package): ₹4,500–₹6,000 a day.
Outstation Tour (at least 300 km per day): ₹10–12 per km, which adds up to a daily package of about ₹3,000–3,600, plus extra costs.
Let’s look at the things that affect this range.
1. Type of rental package: This is the most important thing that affects the 17-seater tempo traveller rate.
Local Rentals (Within City): Costs are based on an 8-hour/80-kilometer package per day. If you go over the limit, you’ll have to pay more for each kilometer.
Outstation Trips (One-Way): Best for traveling from one place to another. The rate per kilometer is higher because the car can come back empty.
Outstation Trips (Round Trip with Night Halt): This is the most usual and affordable option. You pay a daily fee that includes a daily kilometer limit (for example, 300 km/day), a driver’s allowance, and expenses for the night.
2. How far and how long the trip will be:
Longer trips usually have a somewhat lower average cost per kilometer since the fixed costs are spread out over more kilometers.
Short Trips: Because of fixed costs, the average cost per kilometer is greater.
3. Model and Features of the Car: A conventional 17-seater will cost less than a deluxe one.
Standard 17-Seater: Basic seats and air conditioning.
Semi-Luxury/Sleeper Coach: more comfy push-back seats and more amenities inside.
Luxury Coach: high-end leather, a music system, an LED TV, individual charging connections, and better air conditioning.
4. Taxes and tolls from the state:
These things are not part of the base fee per kilometer. They have to pay more based on the real tolls and state border charges. A clear business like Tejas Travels will provide you an estimate for these.
5. Driver’s Allowance:
The driver’s daily stipend for food and lodging is a common part of the package. This makes sure that your driver is safe and can focus on driving safely.
6. Season and Demand:
Prices may go up during busy times like festivals, summer vacations, and long weekends because more people want to buy things.
How to Figure Out the Cost of Tejas Travels
Let’s say we take a 3-day, 2-night travel from Bangalore to Coorg that is about 600 miles long.
Estimated cost of the standard 17-seater package:
Price per day: ₹3,200 (includes 300 km per day)
Length of trip: 3 days
Limit on base kilometers: 900 km (300 km x 3 days)
The whole base cost is ₹3,200 for three days, which is ₹9,600.
Driver Allowance (Bata): 500 rupees every day for three days = 1,500 rupees
Estimated State Tax and Toll Fees: ₹1,500 (actuals additional)
GST (Goods and Services Tax): Usually 5% of the service charge.
The total cost of the tour is between ₹12,500 to ₹13,500 for the whole package.
This structure is much clearer and cheaper than a standard per-km tariff because it makes it obvious what is included.
Why Tejas Travels Would Rather Have a Package Rate Than a Per-Km Rate
Openness: A package rate makes it clear what is included (car, driver, gasoline, limited km) and what is not (tolls, taxes, hotel). There are no surprises.
Cost-Effectiveness: For excursions that last more than one day, it is virtually always cheaper than paying by the kilometer.
Clear on the Driver’s Role: The package includes the driver’s pay, which makes sure he doesn’t work too much and is accessible for the whole trip.
Better Planning: Knowing the daily distance limits helps both you and Tejas Travels plan the itinerary better.
