What Is the Price Per Km for a Tempo Traveller?

If you're organizing a group trip - a family vacation, a wedding, a corporate outing, or a pilgrimage - a Tempo Traveller becomes the go-to option once your group crosses 6-7 people. The first question everyone asks is: what's the per-km rate going to be? Using the published rate card of a Delhi-based operator, Progressive Tour Travels , as a reference point, here are the three key things worth knowing.

1. Per-Km Rate by Seating Capacity

Delhi rate cards typically scale the per-km charge with seating capacity - the more seats, the higher the rate, since larger vehicles burn more fuel and need a bigger driver allowance. A representative 2026 outstation rate structure looks like this:

9-seater: Rs 23/km
12-seater: Rs 24/km
14-seater: Rs 25/km
16-seater: Rs 26/km
18-seater: Rs 27/km
20-seater: Rs 28/km
24-seater: Rs 30/km
26-seater: Rs 32/km
Maharaja (luxury sofa-seat variant): Rs 30/km and up
Force Urbania (premium van): Rs 35/km

This pattern - rates climbing roughly Rs 1-2/km with each seating tier - is fairly standard across Delhi NCR operators, though exact figures vary from company to company.

2. The Per-Km Rate Alone Doesn't Tell the Full Story

A per-km figure by itself doesn't determine your actual trip cost, because outstation bookings are usually billed against a minimum daily kilometre guarantee rather than the exact distance covered. A common structure looks like this:

Full-day local package (80 km / 8 hours): flat rates starting around Rs 4,000 for a 9 or 12-seater, going up to roughly Rs 6,000-6,500 for 24-26 seaters
Half-day local package (40 km / 4 hours): roughly Rs 2,000-3,000 depending on vehicle size
Outstation, minimum 250 km/day: starting around Rs 7,000/day for a 9-seater, scaling up to Rs 15,000/day for a 26-seater
Extra kilometres beyond the daily minimum: billed at the per-km rate listed above

On top of this, a separate driver allowance usually applies - commonly around Rs 600/day for smaller vehicles (9-16 seater) and Rs 700/day for larger ones (18-seater and above). This is different from the driver's base pay - it covers meals and incidentals on multi-day trips.

3. What's Usually Included in the Quoted Fare

Reputable operators generally bundle several costs into the advertised per-km or package rate, so you aren't billed for them separately:

Fuel, calculated on a garage-to-garage basis (from the operator's depot to your pickup point and back)
The driver's service (though the daily allowance is often extra, as noted above)
State permit taxes and national highway toll charges
Standard AC operation

This "all-inclusive except driver allowance" model is common enough that it's worth confirming explicitly with any operator you're comparing quotes from. Some budget vendors advertise a bare per-km figure and then add tolls, permits, and taxes separately - which can make a seemingly cheap quote turn out more expensive than a transparent one.

Keeping these three points in mind - the per-km rate by seating capacity, the minimum kilometre requirement, and what's actually bundled into the quoted fare - gives a much more accurate picture of real trip cost than comparing headline per-km numbers alone.
