Bangalore to Munnar Bus Rental — 27 to 50 Seater Coach Hire for Group Travel

Bus Packages for the Bangalore to Munnar Route

Corporate Package

Built for Bangalore companies running annual offsites, team outings and MICE movements into the high ranges, which is one of the busiest uses of this corridor between September and February. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver team for the full multi-day trip and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. The same corporate bus rental bangalore vehicle stays with your team for the whole trip, with duty slips signed daily and reconciled against the final invoice. For headcounts past fifty we run multiple coaches on a coordinated departure so the group arrives together rather than in waves. Our corporate travels desk manages the arrangement end to end.

Family and Group Package

Extended family movements, temple and community associations, and the wedding parties that increasingly base themselves at the Munnar and Chinnakanal resorts. The package is designed around the way a mixed-age group actually travels: proper meal halts rather than a single rushed stop, luggage bays that hold a week of travel without stacking bags in the aisle, and a driver comfortable with elders and small children on a long ghat approach. For wedding movements we coordinate the coach with cars for the immediate family through our wedding car rental bangalore service so the whole party moves on one schedule.

Budget Package

For groups where cost per head decides the booking, which on this route usually means college tours and student excursions. Non-AC 27 to 45 seater coaches, point to point, clean vehicles and verified drivers. Non-AC works better here than on most routes, since the temperature falls steadily from Udumalpet onwards and the last two hours are genuinely cold. The bus rate per km in bangalore for the non-AC tier is our lowest, and across a 505 kilometre one-way run the saving across a full coach is substantial. The budget tier is about vehicle specification only. It is never about maintenance standards, driver vetting or statutory compliance, all of which are identical across every tier we operate.

Luxury and Volvo Package

Volvo and BharatBenz coaches in seated configuration, with wider reclining seats, better suspension, superior cabin insulation and the noise levels that make an eleven hour journey feel considerably shorter. On a route with a long ghat approach the suspension difference is felt in the final two hours more than anywhere else. This tier suits senior management travel, conference movements, premium wedding parties and any group that wants the journey to be part of the trip rather than something to endure. Our volvo bus rental bangalore fleet covers this tier, and we will advise honestly on where a Volvo can and cannot be parked once you are in Munnar.

Our Bus Fleet in Bangalore

Our bus fleet runs 27 to 50 seater coaches in AC and non-AC, including Volvo and Benz vehicles for the premium tier. We operate the full range of group transport from the same Bangalore base, so if your headcount changes after booking we can usually move you across categories without restarting the process.

•      Bus — 27 to 50 seater, including Volvo and Benz coaches, the core vehicle for this route

•      Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, AC and non-AC, for groups below twenty-five

•      Tempo traveller — 8 to 18 seater, for smaller parties and for local Munnar sightseeing alongside a coach

•      Force Urbania — 13 to 17 seater luxury van

•      Cars — 4 to 7 seater, from Etios, Dzire, Innova and Commuter through Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross and Fortuner, up to 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. Every vehicle we run is seated configuration with push-back seats. On this route that is the right answer regardless, since the Chinnar sanctuary section carries night restrictions and we would not take a group through the high range climb in darkness. Where a group prefers to split the journey, we plan a hotel halt at Salem or Udumalpet rather than driving through the night.

Billing Details — What Is Included and What Is Extra

We quote in writing before you book and the quote itemises everything, so there are no surprises at trip end. A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your 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 and permits for the Karnataka to Tamil Nadu and Tamil Nadu to Kerala crossings
