Planning a group trip in Delhi or heading outstation? Choosing the right Tempo Traveller seating option is the first and most important step. Whether you are travelling with a small family of 8 or a large group of 26, this guide covers every seating variant — from standard models to luxury Maharaja seats and the premium Force Urbania Van — with pricing, features, and ideal use cases to help you make the best decision for your journey.
A Tempo Traveller is the most popular group transport vehicle in Delhi and the entire NCR region. Unlike a cab or an auto-rickshaw, a Tempo Traveller is specifically designed to carry groups of 9 to 26 passengers together in one comfortable, spacious vehicle. It is available in multiple seating configurations that cater to every type of group — from a family weekend getaway to a large corporate event or a pilgrimage tour.
Selecting the correct seating capacity directly affects your travel comfort, cost, and overall experience. Booking a vehicle that is too small creates discomfort, while over-booking results in unnecessary expense. This guide walks you through every seating variant available at Tempo Traveller in Delhi, helping you pick the perfect vehicle with confidence.
Right seating means ample legroom, luggage space, and personal AC vents for each passenger.
Correct vehicle size splits costs optimally among group members — no overspending.
Proper passenger load ensures safe handling, especially on hill routes and highways.
Knowing your options lets you upgrade to Maharaja or Urbania for special occasions.

5 key factors to consider before booking
1. Count Your Group Size Accurately
2. Consider the Trip Type & Duration
Always count the exact number of passengers including children above 5 years. Avoid over-squeezing into a smaller vehicle — it reduces comfort and may affect safety. Add 1–2 extra seats as buffer if you expect last-minute additions to your group.
For a short local city tour (4–8 hours), a standard model works well. For long outstation trips of 2+ days (Manali, Shimla, Chardham), opt for the Maharaja or Urbania for reclining seats and overnight comfort. Hill routes need vehicles with hill assist.
3. Match Vehicle to Occasion
4. Factor in Your Budget
5. Check Luggage Requirements
Weddings and VIP events deserve the Maharaja or Force Urbania for that premium impression. Corporate outings benefit from Urbania's professional cabin appearance. Family pilgrimages are best served by the spacious 16 or 20 seater with ample luggage storage.
Standard Tempo Travellers offer the best value — starting at just Rs 23/km. Maharaja adds luxury at Rs 24–30/km. Force Urbania starts at Rs 35/km for the ultimate experience. For group trips, the cost per person is always very economical regardless of variant.
A 12 seater can comfortably fit 6–7 medium bags. Larger groups with heavy luggage should opt for the 16 or 20 seater to ensure adequate boot space. For pilgrimages with bedding and supplies, the 26 seater or Urbania provides maximum storage capacity.
