Mini Bus for Rent in Mysore
For groups too big for one tempo traveller but too small for a full bus: a 20 to 25 seater or a 32 to 35 seater mini bus with driver, from our Mysore branch. Outstation from ₹36 per km, with tolls and permits listed before you book.
Quick answer: A mini bus in Mysore costs ₹36 per km for a 20–25 seater and ₹45 per km for a 32–35 seater on outstation trips, plus ₹700 driver bata per day, with a 250 km daily minimum. A one-day outstation trip starts at about ₹9,700 (20–25 seater) or ₹11,950 (32–35 seater). Local hire within Mysore for weddings and events is quoted by hours. Tolls, parking and interstate permits are extra.
| Mini bus | Rate | 1 day (250 km) | 2 days (500 km) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20–25 seater | ₹36/km + ₹700 bata | ₹9,700 | ₹19,400 |
| 32–35 seater | ₹45/km + ₹700 bata | ₹11,950 | ₹23,900 |
For bigger groups, see full-size 40 and 50 seater buses on the bus rental in Mysore page.
Mini bus or tempo traveller for 20 to 35 people?
Per-person cost for a 2-day, 500 km trip with every seat filled.
| Option | Seats | 2-day estimate | Per person |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26 seater tempo traveller | 26 | from ₹16,400 | from ₹631 |
| Mini bus 20–25 seater | 25 | ₹19,400 | ₹776 |
| Mini bus 32–35 seater | 35 | ₹23,900 | ₹683 |
| Two 17 seater tempo travellers | 34 | ₹32,800 | ₹965 |
One 32–35 seater costs far less than two tempo travellers for a group of 30 to 35, and keeps everyone together. For 20 to 26 people heading to hill homestays with narrow roads, a tempo traveller is easier to manoeuvre.
