Of course. This is a very common question, but the answer isn't a single number because tempo traveller 12 seater price per km in bangalore are not typically charged on a strict "per km" basis.
They operate on a combination of "Base Fare + Additional Kilometres" or a "Full Day, Unlimited Km" package.
However, I can break down the cost structure to give you a very clear idea of what you will pay, which will effectively let you calculate a "price per km."
There are two main ways tempo travellers are rented:
Outstation Trip (e.g., Bangalore to Mysore, Coorg, etc.)
Local Trip (Within Bangalore city for a day)
For a round trip where the vehicle goes from Bangalore to another city and back, the standard package includes:
A fixed base fare that covers a certain number of kilometres (usually 200-250 km per day) and the driver's allowance.
An extra charge for every kilometre beyond the daily limit.
Estimated Cost for a 12-Seater Tempo Traveller (Bangalore to Mysore example):
Base Fare (for 2 days, 400-500 km): ₹9,000 - ₹12,000
This covers the round trip to Mysore, which is roughly 300-350 km. The fare varies based on the model (brand new vs. older), AC/non-AC, and the operator.
Driver's Allowance (Batta): Usually included in the base fare for outstation, but confirm. If not, it's around ₹300-₹400 per day for food and lodging.
Toll & Parking: Extra, paid by you directly.
Effective "Price per Km" Calculation for Outstation:
If you take the lower estimate and a 350 km trip:
Total Cost: ~₹9,500
Total Kms: 350 km
Effective Price per Km: ₹27.1 /km
This is a rough estimate and will be lower for longer distances as the base fare is spread over more kilometres.
For local use (e.g., wedding, city tour, airport transfer), the most common package is the "8 Hours / 80 Km" package.
Estimated Cost for a 12-Seater Tempo Traveller (Local):
Base Fare (8 Hrs / 80 Kms): ₹3,500 - ₹5,000
Extra per Km (after 80 km): ₹18 - ₹25 /km
Extra per Hour (after 8 hours): ₹250 - ₹400 /hour
Driver's Allowance (Batta): Typically ₹200 - ₹300 for a local day.
Effective "Price per Km" Calculation for Local:
Let's assume you book for 8 hours and drive 100 km.
Base Fare: ₹4,000
Extra Kms: 20 km * ₹22/km = ₹440
Driver Batta: ₹250
Total Cost: ₹4,690
Effective Price per Km for 100 km: ₹46.9 /km
As you can see, for shorter distances within the city, the effective per km cost is much higher because the base fare is a significant component.
