Planning a group trip, and the first question that pops up is how much does a tempo traveller cost in Mysore? The answer is ₹18 per kilometre. But what you finally pay depends on your route, the total distance, and whether it’s a city trip or outstation.
So let’s get into the blog so you know exactly what to expect before you book.
The Basic Price
At Mysore Travelo, the tempo traveller price in Mysore starts at ₹18 per kilometre. That’s the rate we charge, and it’s one of the most straightforward pricing structures you’ll find.
No complicated packages. No hidden slabs. You pay for the distance you travel.
| Vehicle Type | Price Per Km | Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Tempo Traveller | ₹18/km | 12 Seater |
| Mini Bus | Available on request | 20+ Seater |
What Affects the Total Price?
The per-km rate is just the starting point.
A few things influence what your final bill looks like:
- Total distance travelled: the longer the trip, the more the total. Simple math
- Route type: city sightseeing, outstation, or both affects how distance is calculated
- Trip duration: multi-day trips may have different structures. Always confirm when booking
- Early/late hours: if your trip starts before 6 AM or ends after 10 PM, additional driver charges apply
- Tolls and parking: these are charged separately and paid on actuals during the trip
The good news? At Mysore Travelo, there are no surprise charges added at the end. What’s discussed before the trip is what you pay.
When Does Hiring a Tempo Traveller Actually Make Sense?
A lot of people book multiple cabs for a group trip without doing the math. Here’s the thing: when you’re travelling with 8 or more people, a tempo traveller rental in Mysore almost always works out cheaper per person than splitting across two or three cars.
It’s also just better. Everyone travels together; there’s no convoy to manage, no one gets lost, and the whole group actually has the same experience.
Best situations to hire a tempo traveller:
- Family trips to Coorg, Ooty, Wayanad, Bandipur, and Chikmagalur
- Office outings and corporate travel
- Mysore city sightseeing with a large group
- Weddings and events pickup and drop for guests
- School or college trips

- Air conditioning (switched off during steep hill climbs to protect the engine at standard practice)
- Pushback seats with proper legroom
- Music system

The vehicle is cleaned before every trip. And the driver is checked before every pickup, no exceptions.
