Bus on rent with driver
Bus hire with driver costs ₹40–85 per km (as of Oct 2026): 35 seats ₹40–55, 49 seats ₹55–75, 56 seats ₹65–85. Operators bill at least 250 km a day plus ₹500 a day for the driver. Ahmedabad–Statue of Unity, 2 days, in a 49-seater coach: ₹30,200–40,700.
For bigger groups, a mini bus or a full-size coach costs less per seat than two tempo travellers and keeps everyone together. Coaches have 2+2 pushback seats and a luggage hold under the floor.
Weddings, school trips, yatras and company offsites book buses on Yippigo. You post the trip once; verified operators send itemised quotes for the bus, the driver, tolls and permits.
A mini bus is the easier choice for narrow roads, temple towns and short distances; a full-size coach is better for highways, long days and big groups with luggage. For weddings and events, operators can quote several buses running shuttles on fixed timings instead of one bus waiting all day.
Good for
- Wedding guests and baraat
- School and college trips
- Pilgrimage groups (yatra)
- Corporate offsites and staff transport
