A tempo traveller (the Force Traveller and similar vans) is the most hired group vehicle in India: big enough for an extended family or a society outing, small enough for temple lanes, ghat roads and hotel driveways that a full-size bus cannot reach.
On Yippigo you hire it with a driver for a day out, an outstation round trip or a multi-day tour. Operators quote the whole trip line by line: vehicle hire, driver allowance, night halts, tolls and state taxes.
Tempo travellers come in several sizes, from a van for one large family to a long-wheelbase model for a society outing. Pushback seats, AC and a roof carrier are common on the newer ones; the table below shows the sizes and the rate for each, and operators confirm the exact vehicle in their quote.
Good for
- Family holidays and reunions
- Temple circuits with elders
- Society and office day outings
- Hill stations and ghat roads
