Group of 18 to 33 people
Outstation vehicles for 18 to 33 people from Bangalore
Above seventeen you are choosing between one mini bus and two smaller vehicles, and the deciding factor is usually road access rather than cost. A twenty-five-seater mini bus keeps the group together in one vehicle and one parking spot, which on a temple day or at a wedding venue is worth a lot. But it cannot reach a Coorg estate resort at the end of a plantation track, and it parks further away at almost every hill destination. Two seventeen-seaters cost a little more, reach more places and give you slack for the people who join at the last minute.
Vehicles that fit 18 to 33 people
Mini Bus
For groups above seventeen, where splitting into two Tempo Travellers costs more and separates the party.
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 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 33 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
Whichever you choose, ask for one booking and one invoice rather than separate bills per vehicle. For a school, a company or a wedding family, the reconciliation is the part that costs somebody an evening, and it is avoidable.
