17 Seater & 21 Seater Vehicle Rental in Bangalore: Tempo Traveller, Force Urbania & Mini Bus Guide

Hiring for 13 to 21 people in Bangalore? Compare the 17 seater Tempo Traveller (₹30/km), the 17 seater Force Urbania (₹38/km) and the 21 seater mini bus (₹34/km), with routes, a Tirupati cost example and FAQs.

The short answer: For 13 to 17 people, Yogi Tours & Travels rents a 17 seater Tempo Traveller in Bangalore from ₹30/km with AC (₹28/km non-AC), or the premium 17 seater Force Urbania from ₹38/km. For 18 to 21 people, the 21 seater mini bus starts at ₹34/km. Pickups are available across Bangalore and from Kempegowda International Airport, and every quotation states the rate, daily minimum and driver Bata upfront.

Group sizes in this range are awkward: too big for a 12 seater, too small to justify a 33-seater coach. Searching for a 17 seater Tempo Traveller in Bangalore, a 17 seater Urbania or a 21 seater mini bus on rent usually means you are planning a pilgrimage, a wedding, an office offsite or a family reunion and want one vehicle, not three cars. This guide compares the three options, explains how the pricing works and shows which routes they suit.

17 Seater Tempo Traveller: The Value Choice for Large Groups

The 17 seater Tempo Traveller rental in Bangalore is a Force-built van with push-back seats, individual windows, reading lights, charging points and a dedicated luggage boot plus roof carrier for about 17 bags. It is the most economical way to move a full group of up to 17 on a single booking.

  • Rate: ₹30/km with AC, ₹28/km non-AC.
  • Terms: 300 km daily minimum and ₹700/day driver Bata. Tolls, parking, permits and state taxes are extra.
  • Duty hours: 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Extra driver Bata applies after 10:00 PM.

It is the usual pick for Tirupati and Mantralaya pilgrimages, multi-family trips and wedding guest transfers. Compare it with the 9 seater and 12 seater Tempo Traveller if your group is smaller, and read the 9 seater Tempo Traveller hiring guide for the same pricing logic at a smaller size.

17 Seater Force Urbania: Luxury for Large Groups

The 17 seater Force Urbania in Bangalore is built on Force's Urbania platform, with a car-like monocoque ride, a quiet insulated cabin and a high-roof walkthrough interior. Our Urbania adds Maharaja recliner captain seats with calf support, a mounted Sony Bravia Smart TV, an on-board chiller, ambient lighting, individual USB chargers and retractable sunblinds.

  • Rate: ₹38/km, 300 km daily minimum, ₹700/day driver Bata.
  • Luggage: about 17 bags with dedicated rear storage.
  • Best for: executive delegations, VIP wedding guests and long luxury tours.

Looking for a smaller Urbania? The 12 seater Maharaja Urbania uses the same platform with wider business-class recliners. Route-specific Urbania fares are in our cost guides for Coorg, Ooty, Tirupati and Wayanad.

A note on a "21 seater Urbania": the Force Urbania seats up to 17 passengers, and we do not operate a 21 seater Urbania. If your group is 18 to 21, the right vehicle is the 21 seater mini bus below.

21 Seater Mini Bus: When 17 Is Not Enough

The 21 seater mini bus rental in Bangalore is the entry point of our mini bus range. It has air conditioning, push-back seats, reading lights, a PA system, a first-aid kit and overhead luggage racks, plus a rear boot. It costs from ₹34/km, and the daily minimum, driver Bata and permits are confirmed in your written quotation.

It suits office teams, wedding guest groups and school or college outings that need more capacity than a Tempo Traveller but not a full-size coach. For 22 to 25 people, see the 25 seater mini bus, and for larger events the tourist buses.

Which Should You Choose?

  • 13 to 17 people, lowest cost: 17 seater Tempo Traveller.
  • 13 to 17 people, premium comfort: 17 seater Force Urbania.
  • 18 to 21 people: 21 seater mini bus.
  • Mixed group of VIPs and staff: pair an Urbania with a Tempo Traveller through group transportation in Bangalore.

How Pricing Works: A Tirupati Example

Bangalore to Tirupati is about 255 km each way, roughly 510 km for a 2-day round trip. That is under the 600 km minimum for two days, so 600 km is billed:

  • 17 seater Tempo Traveller: 600 km × ₹30 = ₹18,000, plus 2 days of Bata at ₹700 = ₹1,400. About ₹19,400 plus tolls and parking, or roughly ₹1,150 per person for 17 travellers.
  • 17 seater Force Urbania: 600 km × ₹38 = ₹22,800, plus ₹1,400 Bata. About ₹24,200 plus tolls and parking.

Your quotation confirms the exact figure for your dates. Local and airport trips are quoted per trip; see local and intercity packages.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Yogi Tours and Travels! From the start, they were incredibly responsive and tailored our itinerary to Mantralaya perfectly. A huge thank you to our driver, Kallesh, who was punctual, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety. His deep knowledge of the routes and local spots was invaluable. We felt very well taken care of throughout the pilgrimage. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and stress-free travel experience!
