Tempo Traveller Hire in Jaipur — 12, 17 & 26 Seater With Driver
For groups of 7+. AC mini-buses with reclining captain seats, English-speaking driver, transparent per-day pricing.
Why book this tour
Real group capacity
12-seater means 12 actual passengers (not Indian-style 18 stuffed into 12 seats). Reclining captain seats, individual AC vents, lots of legroom.
All your luggage fits
Massive boot + roof carrier optional. Even with 12 people and 12 suitcases, nothing on laps.
Direct from operator
We own the fleet. No agent commission. No 'sorry, the tempo was double-booked' day-of disasters that aggregators cause.
When does a tempo traveller make sense?
If your group is 7-12 people, tempo traveller is way cheaper than two SUVs (and you all stay together). If 13-17, the 17-seater is the only sensible choice. For 18-26 (large family + extended), go 26-seater coach. We typically see: family reunions, wedding guest transport, corporate team outings, friend trips, yoga retreats, pilgrim groups.
Comparison: Tempo vs. 2 SUVs
For 8 people, two SUVs would cost $90/day combined ($45 x 2). One 12-seater tempo is $80/day. So tempo is $10 cheaper AND keeps your group together AND you only tip one driver instead of two AND you only need to find one parking spot. Clear winner.

Glimpses From The Journey
Your Questions, Answered
Is the Tempo Traveller comfortable for 8-hour drives?
12 and 17-seater: yes, comfortable for 8 hours with one stop every 2 hours. 26-seater coach: yes, also comfortable. Tempo Travellers in India are designed for long routes (Char Dham yatra, Vaishno Devi, etc.) — they're battle-tested.
Can we use it for a multi-city Rajasthan tour?
Absolutely. Most popular routes: Jaipur-Pushkar-Jodhpur-Udaipur (5 days), or full Rajasthan circuit (10 days). Per-km rate applies, plus daily driver allowance. We'll quote the total.
Does the driver speak English?
Functional English (enough for directions, restaurant orders, basic conversation). For full English commentary, we put a guide separately in the front seat (+$30/day).
Can we play loud music inside?
Yes — the music system supports Bluetooth/AUX/USB. Bring your playlist.
Is there a luggage limit?
For 12-seater with 8 passengers: 12 large suitcases easily fit. For 12 passengers + 12 bags, we add the optional roof carrier ($10/day). For 17-seater with 17 pax + bags, roof carrier is recommended.
Wedding transport — multi-day, multi-route?
Very common booking. Standard wedding package: 17-seater for 5 days, multiple Jaipur-airport transfers + 2 outstation runs. Email us with the wedding schedule, we'll quote.
Can we hire the tempo for just 4 hours?
Yes — hourly available at $14/hr (12-seater), minimum 4 hours. Useful for airport transfer or short city use.
