Group of 13 to 17 people
Outstation vehicle for 13 to 17 people from Bangalore
This is the band where the fleet is at its strongest and where the per-head cost is lowest of any group size. A seventeen-seater Tempo Traveller spreads the fare across seventeen people, which makes trips that would be extravagant for six perfectly reasonable. Two things to watch. Luggage: with seventeen seats occupied, neither the Tempo Traveller nor the seventeen-seater Urbania has boot space for seventeen suitcases, so a multi-day trip needs a roof carrier or a drop to thirteen seats. And road access: the extended body needs turning room, which matters on estate resort tracks and narrow temple approaches.
Vehicles that fit 13 to 17 people
Tempo Traveller 17
The workhorse for temple groups and school excursions. Seventeen seats at the lowest per-head cost available anywhere in the fleet.
Urbania 13
The most-booked Urbania. Thirteen recliners, standing headroom and a real boot — the default choice for corporate offsites and wedding-party transport.
Urbania 17
Maximum seats without moving to a bus. Seventeen recliners for large corporate groups and wedding convoys that must stay together in one vehicle.
Cost per person at this group size
Round-trip fare divided by 17 paying passengers — the top of this band, which is where the per-head cost is best. Fill fewer seats and each person pays more.

How to choose
If your group is fourteen or fifteen, look seriously at the thirteen-seater Urbania and whether two people can travel separately. It has the best boot in the range, the smoothest ride through the ghats, and it reaches properties a seventeen-seater cannot. On the Malnad and Coorg estate roads that trade is often worth making.
