12-seater Tempo Traveller at Chennai airport arrivals for group pickup with luggage bay

Tempo Traveller rental from Chennai airport (MAA) is the smartest choice for any group of 8 or more — wedding parties, corporate delegations, tour groups, extended families. Fares start at ₹4,500 for a 12-seater AC tempo traveller with meet-and-greet at Terminal 1 (Domestic) or Terminal 4 (International). Call +91 96005 81820 with your flight number and passenger count for a confirmed quote in 10 minutes.

Fare card. 12-seater AC ₹4,500 (airport + drop within 40 km), 18-seater AC ₹5,900, 24-seater AC ₹6,900, 26-seater ₹7,500. Overage beyond the included 40 km / 4 hours is ₹22–28/km depending on vehicle. Every tempo traveller has: individual reclining seats, cabin AC, roof storage inside cabin, and a 22–30 cubic-foot rear luggage bay that fits 12+ large suitcases. Waiting is free up to 60 minutes past flight-land time; we track your flight in real time.

Meet-and-greet protocol. Chauffeur reaches the airport 45 minutes before scheduled landing and parks in the Chennai Airport authorised cab bay. He carries a printed placard with the lead traveller's name and calls the phone number on record the moment your flight lands. Median lead-traveller-to-vehicle time from wheels-down: 22 minutes on international, 14 minutes on domestic. Trolley assistance to the vehicle is complimentary.

Why a tempo traveller beats 3 cabs. Cost: three Innova cabs from MAA airport to a hotel in Guindy cost roughly ₹3,600 combined; a 12-seater tempo traveller for the same run is ₹4,500 and carries all 12 of you together with luggage. Group unity: no lost passengers, no separate WhatsApp coordination, one billing. Comfort: kids sleep across a bench seat, elderly relatives have direct AC and reclining backrest.

Ask for a 4-day tempo package — starts at ₹19,500 for a 12-seater, includes 250 km/day, chauffeur bata, and re-entry parking at MAA on drop day. Popular for destination weddings and family reunions.
