Bangalore to Thekkady Force Urbania Rental — 13 to 17 Seater Luxury Van for Group Travel to Periyar

Urbania Packages for the Bangalore to Thekkady Route

Corporate Package

The resorts around Kumily, Vandiperiyar and Peermade have become one of the standard offsite destinations for Bangalore companies, and a 17 seater covers a full team without the convoy problem. The package includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval, a named driver for the full multi-day trip and consolidated monthly billing for registered accounts. The same corporate urbania rental bangalore stays with the team for the sanctuary transfers, the plantation visit and any Munnar extension, with duty slips signed daily and reconciled against the final invoice. Our corporate travels desk handles the arrangement end to end, including a second vehicle where the headcount runs past seventeen.

Family Package

The most common Urbania booking on this route by a distance. Three or four related families travelling together for four to six days, usually pairing Thekkady with Munnar and sometimes running on to Alleppey. The package is built around how families actually move rather than an idealised schedule: late starts on sanctuary days, the vehicle waiting with the air conditioning running during the boat cruise and the spice walk, and a driver comfortable with elders and small children on a ghat road. The walk-through cabin matters here more than anywhere, since grandparents are not climbing over anybody to reach a seat, and urbania for family trip bangalore bookings almost always take the 17 seater even at fourteen passengers, for the luggage room.

Luxury and Executive Package

The Urbania in its premium configuration, with the fullest specification we run: wider reclining seats with individual armrests, additional legroom through reduced seat count, ambient lighting, better cabin insulation and premium upholstery. On a ten hour drive that finishes with a mountain climb, that specification is functional rather than decorative. This tier suits senior management travel, milestone family occasions and resort weddings in the Thekkady and Munnar belt where guests need to arrive presentable after a long day. For very large celebrations we run it alongside our volvo bus rental bangalore coaches, with the Urbania carrying the immediate family and the coach handling the rest.

Our Force Urbania Fleet in Bangalore

Our Urbania fleet runs in 13 and 17 seater configurations, all air conditioned, all with push-back seating and a walk-through cabin. We operate the full range of group vehicles from the same Bangalore base, so if your headcount shifts after booking, which it routinely does on family trips, we can usually move you across categories without restarting the process.

•      Force Urbania — 13 to 17 seater luxury van, the vehicle this page covers

•      Tempo traveller — 8 to 18 seater, the value alternative on the same corridor

•      Mini bus — 12 to 24 seater, AC and non-AC, for groups past seventeen

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

•      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 anyway, since we would not put a group through the Cumbum ghat section at night. Where a group prefers to split the journey, we plan a hotel halt at Dindigul or Madurai rather than driving through the dark.

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

•      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 garage-to-garage basis is standard across the organised group transport industry in Bangalore. The meter starts when the vehicle leaves our garage for your pickup point and ends when it returns. We factor this into the written quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance if required. Vehicle insurance and full statutory driver and vehicle compliance are maintained across the fleet.
