Bangalore to Dandeli Tempo Traveller — 12 to 18 Seater TT Hire for Rafting and Jungle Trips

Tempo Traveller Packages for the Bangalore to Dandeli Route

Corporate Package

Dandeli is one of the most booked corporate offsite dandeli destinations out of Bangalore, and for good reason — rafting and a night walk do more for a team than a conference room does. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, one named driver for the full trip, and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. We coordinate with the resort on arrival timing so a team landing at 2 PM is not waiting for check-in. Our corporate travels bangalore desk handles multi-vehicle movements for larger teams.

Family Package

Usually three or four days, often built around school holidays, and frequently extended to Gokarna. Dandeli suits families with older children better than almost any alternative within a day’s drive of Bangalore, because there is something to do rather than only something to look at. We plan the outbound around an early start and a Chitradurga break so the driving does not eat the first day.

Budget Package

For college groups and friends’ trips where the per-head figure decides everything. Non-AC 12 to 14 seater tempo travellers, point to point, clean vehicle and a verified driver. Dandeli’s forest cools noticeably at night for much of the year, and on the October to February trip most groups do not miss the AC. The budget tier varies vehicle specification only — maintenance, driver vetting and statutory compliance do not change with it.

Luxury and Executive Package

Higher-specification tempo travellers with fewer, wider recliner seats, extra legroom and better sound insulation — worth it on a route with two long driving days at either end of a short holiday. For a further step up, our luxury urbania rental bangalore option in 13 to 17 seater configuration runs the same corridor with standing headroom and captain seating.

Our Fleet in Bangalore

Our ac tempo traveller rental bangalore fleet covers 8, 12, 14, 16 and 18 seater configurations. Every category below is held at the same Bangalore base, so a change in headcount after booking is normally handled by reallocating the vehicle rather than restarting the booking.

•             Tempo traveller — 8 to 18 seater, AC and non-AC, the core vehicle for this route

•             Force Urbania — 13 to 17 seater luxury van, the premium alternative in the same size band

•             Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, for larger groups, though resort access should be confirmed first

•             Bus — 27 to 50 seater, including Volvo and Benz coaches, for large college and corporate movements

•             Cars — 4 to 7 seater, from Etios, Dzire, Innova, Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross, Fortuner and Commuter through Corolla Altis, Camry, Audi A6, Audi Q7, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz E Class, Mercedes-Benz S Class and Rolls-Royce Ghost

Tejas Tours and Travels does not operate sleeper bus services. All our vehicles are seated configuration with push-back seats. Groups wanting to travel overnight and arrive for breakfast do so in a seated vehicle with a driver rested for the run.

Billing Details — What Is Included and What Is Extra

We quote in writing before you book and the quote itemises every line, so nothing appears for the first time at trip end. A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms the booking.

Included in the Quoted Fare

•             Base fare and fuel charges

•             Driver allowance

Not Included — Billed Separately at Actuals

•             Toll charges and parking fees

•             Interstate tax, where an itinerary crosses into another state

•             Additional driver bata after 9:45 PM

•             GST as applicable

•             Final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage

The Dandeli route stays inside Karnataka, so no interstate permit applies unless the itinerary extends to Goa. Rafting fees, safari charges, forest entry and resort costs are paid to those operators directly and sit outside our quote entirely. Garage-to-garage billing is the standard basis across the organised group transport industry in Bangalore: the meter starts when the vehicle leaves our garage for your pickup and stops when it returns, and it is built into the written quote, so the figure you approve is the figure you settle.

Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if required — worth considering on a trip involving rafting, though adventure operators carry their own cover and waivers. Vehicle insurance and full statutory driver and vehicle compliance are maintained across the fleet.

How to Book a Tempo Traveller for Rent in Bangalore — Step by Step

Booking a tempo traveller for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under five minutes. Follow these four steps.

Step 1 — Contact Tejas Travels

•             Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com. Available 24 hours, 7 days a week.

•             Share your travel date.

•             Share your Bangalore pickup location — area or landmark such as Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road, Koramangala, a hotel name, a tech park, or KIA airport.

•             Share your destination or full day-wise itinerary, including which days the vehicle is not needed.

•             Share your number of passengers and your luggage volume.

•             Tell us the name of your Dandeli resort, so we can confirm whether the vehicle reaches the gate.

•             For KIA airport pickups, share the flight number. The driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically.

•             For corporate offsites, share your GST number and preferred invoicing format.

Step 2 — Receive Your Written Quote

•             Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email.

•             The quote itemises every charge:

•             Tempo traveller hire rate — per kilometre or flat package

•             Driver allowance — Rs 400 to Rs 1,000 per day depending on vehicle class

•             Applicable toll estimates

•             Interstate permit only where the itinerary leaves Karnataka — Goa in this case. Not applicable to Dandeli itself.

•             GST

•             No verbal-only prices. Everything is in writing before you confirm.

•             Ask for the whole-trip figure, not only the per-kilometre rate — on a route with idle days that is the number that matters.

•             For corporate clients requiring reimbursement, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage.

Step 3 — Confirm Your Booking and Pay Advance

•             Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone.

•             A 20 percent advance payment of the total fare confirms the booking.

•             Payment options: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT, IMPS or RTGS bank transfer, or credit and debit card via payment link.

•             Advance receipt issued within 30 minutes.

•             Your confirmation includes:

•             Driver name and mobile number

•             Vehicle registration number

•             Departure time

•             Pickup location confirmation

•             Full billing breakdown — all in writing

•             Long weekends and the October to March season book heaviest on this route. For premium vehicles and peak dates the advance may be higher given limited fleet availability.

Step 4 — Your Driver Arrives Early

•             Your assigned Tejas Travels driver reaches the confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure.

•             For KIA airport transfers, the driver coordinates at the Arrivals gate.

•             The vehicle is clean, sanitised, fuelled and ready.

•             The driver calls you 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy.

•             During the trip the driver handles all routing, toll payments and Bangalore traffic navigation.

•             On the Haliyal to Dandeli stretch the driver reduces speed for wildlife crossings, particularly after dusk.

•             At trip end, the balance is settled after deducting the advance.

•             Any additional kilometres or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate.

Quick booking: WhatsApp +91 9980277773 with your group size, Bangalore pickup location, resort name and travel date. Written quote in 2 hours.

Premium vehicle note: for luxury vehicles including the Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S Class, a higher advance may be required given limited Bangalore fleet availability and wedding season demand.
