12‑Seater Tempo Traveller in Varanasi – Rates from ₹24/km (2026 Fleet)
The sweet-spot mini-coach for 2–3 nuclear families or 8–11 pilgrims · 2×1 Maharaja pushback seating · Local 8hr/80km from ₹5,500 · Outstation from ₹24/km
Why the 12‑Seater Is Varanasi's Most Popular Family Choice
When travelling with 7 to 11 family members, hiring two separate compact sedans splits your group across chaotic traffic and doubles your parking and toll coordination. A 12-Seater Force Tempo Traveller provides the perfect group cohesion at lower cost:
Roomy 2×1 Maharaja Seating: Unlike cramped 2×2 mini-buses, the 2×1 layout features a wide central aisle. The single-seat column offers captain-style individual comfort with no middle-seat compromises.
Superior City Maneuverability: With a shorter wheelbase than 17 or 26-seaters, the 12-seater navigates Varanasi's Cantonment roads, Sigra crossings, and Sarnath lanes with ease.
Economical Per-Head Math: At ₹5,500 for a full-day Kashi Darshan, a family of 10 pays just ₹550 per person for door-to-door AC transport.
