Top 5 Places to Visit Near Chennai in a 24-Seater Tempo Traveller (2026 Rates)
Chennai's location at the heart of southern India makes it the perfect launchpad for short group getaways. With a 24-seater Tempo Traveller hire from Raghavarshini Tours & Travels you keep the whole family or office team together, share the trip door-to-door, and split costs across the seats — typically 40–50% cheaper per head than booking multiple cabs. Our indicative outstation rate is ₹22/km (24-seater A/C) with a 300 km minimum per day, driver Bata ₹500, and toll/parking at actuals.
