Who books a mini bus
A mini bus sits between a 17 seater tempo traveller and a full-size coach. It is the usual choice when a group is just too big for one tempo traveller but does not need a 35 or 50 seater.
- Family functions and naming ceremonies with relatives from out of town
- School and tuition-class trips
- Office teams of 20 to 25 for a day outing
- Temple trips to Tirupati, Dharmasthala or Melkote
- Homestay trips to Coorg and Chikmagalur where big buses cannot reach
Planning a trip in a mini bus
A mini bus is also the best size for places where a full coach struggles: estate homestays in Coorg and Chikmagalur, narrow streets in old Mysore, and hill towns like Ooty and Kodaikanal in peak season. For 20 seats exactly, see our 20 seater bus rental page.
Tell us if you need pushback seats, a microphone for a guide, or extra luggage space, and we will confirm the exact bus before you pay. Pickups from two or three points in Bangalore are fine if they are on the way out of the city.
For local use inside Bangalore, such as a wedding shuttle, an event day or a group airport drop, the price depends on hours and kilometres, so send your plan on WhatsApp for a quote.
How it compares with other buses
| Bus | Seats | Rate | Mysore day trip | Per head (full) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini Bus 20–25 Seater | 20 to 25 seats | ₹36/km | ₹11,140 | ₹446 |
| Bus 32–35 Seater | 32 to 35 seats | ₹45/km | ₹13,750 | ₹393 |
| Bus 40 Seater | 40 seats | ₹48/km | ₹14,620 | ₹366 |
| Bus 50 Seater | 50 seats | ₹60/km | ₹18,200 | ₹364 |
For 18 to 25 people the mini bus is almost always the cheapest option. Above 25, the 32–35 seater costs only a little more per kilometre and gives everyone a seat with room for bags.
What the fare includes
Every fare on this page is for the whole bus, not per seat. It includes the AC bus, an experienced driver, diesel and the driver's daily allowance (bata), which also covers his food and night stay. You never pay for the driver's room separately.
| Included | Paid at actuals |
|---|---|
| Bus, diesel and driver | Toll charges |
| Driver bata for every day | Parking fees |
| Pickup and drop at your address in Bangalore | State permits outside Karnataka |
| Help on WhatsApp through the trip | Entry tickets, guides and jeeps |
Outstation fares are worked out the same way as the price on our search: kilometres × the rate per km, plus bata per day. We bill a minimum of 250 km a day, so a short trip spread over several days costs at least that much per day.
