Ask anyone in India how to move a group of ten and the answer is a tempo traveller. It is the most common group vehicle in the country, which is its biggest strength: there is one in almost every town, drivers know the model inside out, and a replacement can usually be found within hours if something goes wrong on the road.

What it is not is a coach. The seats are closer together, the suspension is firmer, and there is no luggage hold, so suitcases ride inside on the last row. On a two or three day trip nobody minds. On a fourteen day circuit with long driving days the Force Urbania or a Traveller Maharaja is a noticeably easier place to sit, and we will suggest one if your route calls for it.

We book it as twelve passengers with light luggage, or nine to ten passengers with a large case each. Tell us both numbers when you enquire. The seat count painted on the side of the van is the least useful figure on it.

Why Book With Us

Why Book Your India Tour With Top Indian Holidays

You can hire a car from a local supplier or an aggregator app. What you cannot do there is reach the person who planned your route at eleven at night, change tomorrow's pickup while you are still at dinner, or get told honestly that the vehicle you asked for is one size too small. That is the difference, and it costs you nothing extra.

01

We are in India, not a call centre abroad

Our office is in Jaipur. When a flight lands late or tomorrow's pickup needs to move, the person who planned your route is the one who answers, in the same time zone as your driver.

02

Contracted rates, and no booking fee

We hold negotiated rates with the transport companies and drivers we have used for years. In most cases our figure sits below a walk-in quote, and we never add a fee of our own on top.

03

One written figure, no roadside surprises

Fuel, driver allowance, night halts, state taxes, permits, tolls and parking are all inside the quote. Nobody asks you for cash at a state border.

04

The vehicle is part of a plan, not a transaction

An app can send a car. It cannot sequence your cities, book the monument tickets, put a licensed guide in the car for one morning and move it all when you change your mind.

05

Honest advice about size and route

We will tell you when a sedan is too small for your luggage, when a route is too long to enjoy in a day, and when an electric car is the wrong choice for the highway.

06

One named person, 24/7, start to finish

You deal with the same consultant from the first email to the day you fly home, reachable on WhatsApp while you are travelling.
