How much does an outstation cab or tempo traveller cost from Mysore?
It depends on the route, distance, number of travel days, vehicle type and season — a Mysore-Coorg round trip in a sedan is priced differently from a week-long Kerala circuit in a 26-seater tempo traveller. Share your route and group size with MIT's team and you'll get a clear, itemised quote before you confirm anything.
How far in advance should I book a cab or tempo traveller?
For weekends, festival periods such as Dasara in Mysore or Onam in Kerala, and for larger tempo travellers or buses, booking 2-3 weeks ahead is safer since good vehicles and drivers get committed early. For a simple point-to-point cab in an off-peak week, a few days' notice is usually enough, but earlier is always better.
What exactly is a tempo traveller, and how many people does it seat?
A tempo traveller is a mini-bus typically available in 12, 17 and 26-seater configurations, used when a sedan or SUV isn't enough but a full-size coach is more than needed. MIT arranges tempo travellers matched to your group size and luggage.
What is included when I book a cab or tempo traveller through MIT?
The quote covers the vehicle, driver and fuel for the agreed route and duration. Tolls, parking, state permit charges, and driver allowance or night halt on multi-day outstation trips are usually itemised separately so you know exactly what's covered before you travel.
Do you arrange cabs for Mysore airport or railway station transfers?
Yes. Airport and railway station pickups and drops in Mysore, Bangalore and other South Indian cities are one of the most common bookings MIT handles, whether as a standalone transfer or part of a larger tour.
Can I book a tempo traveller for a Bangalore-to-Coorg group trip?
Yes, Bangalore to Coorg is a frequently booked route. MIT can arrange a tempo traveller or SUV depending on your group size, with a driver familiar with the Madikeri ghat roads.
I have a group of 15 people — should I book one tempo traveller or two SUVs?
For 15 travellers with normal luggage, a single 17-seater tempo traveller is usually more comfortable and cost-effective than two SUVs, and it keeps the group together for sightseeing stops. MIT will confirm the best fit once you share luggage volume and any other requirements.
Do you provide luxury buses for large groups, weddings or corporate events?
Yes, luxury buses are arranged for larger groups — corporate offsites, conferences, wedding parties and big family reunions — in addition to sedans, SUVs and tempo travellers for smaller groups.
Can I book a one-way drop taxi, or only round trips?
Both are available. One-way drops, such as Mysore to Bangalore airport, and round-trip outstation hires can be booked; just mention which one you need when you share your travel plan.
What's the difference between a sedan, an SUV and a tempo traveller for a hill trip like Ooty or Coorg?
A sedan suits 2-3 travellers with light luggage on well-paved routes. An SUV handles ghat roads and slightly more luggage comfortably for 4-6 people. A tempo traveller is built for groups of 8 and above who need to travel together with room for bags. MIT recommends the vehicle based on your exact group size and route.
Are your drivers experienced with ghat and hill roads?
Yes. Routes like Mysore-Coorg, Mysore-Ooty, Kabini, Bandipur and the Chikmagalur hill roads are driven regularly by MIT's network of drivers, which matters on winding ghat sections.
Can I book one vehicle for a multi-city circuit like Mysore-Coorg-Wayanad-Ooty?
Yes, multi-city and multi-day circuits across Karnataka and Kerala are a core part of what MIT arranges — one vehicle and driver for the whole loop, with the itinerary and halts planned in advance.
Are tolls, parking and driver allowance included in the quoted price?
These are typically itemised separately from the base vehicle hire so the quote stays transparent. You'll know upfront what's included in the base fare and what's charged as actuals.
Can travel agents book cabs and tempo travellers through MIT for their own clients?
Yes. MIT works with B2B travel agents as well as direct leisure and corporate travellers, offering the same vetted network of drivers and vehicles for agent-booked itineraries.
If I book a full tour package, is the cab already included, or do I book it separately?
When a cab or tempo traveller is part of an MIT tour package, it's built into the itinerary and quote from the start. If you only need transport without a full package, that's bookable on its own too.
What information do I need to give when booking a cab?
Pickup location and time, destination(s), travel dates, number of travellers, luggage, and any vehicle preference (sedan, SUV, tempo traveller or bus). The more specific the route and group size, the faster and more accurate the quote.
Can I hire just a cab without booking a full holiday package?
Yes, standalone cab and tempo traveller bookings are available without needing to book hotels or a full itinerary through MIT.
Do you arrange transport for corporate offsites or conferences in Mysore and Bangalore?
Yes, corporate group transport — airport transfers, offsite shuttles and multi-day event logistics — is arranged for companies in Mysore, Bangalore and other cities MIT operates from.
What happens if my flight or train is delayed after I've booked a pickup?
Let MIT's team know as soon as you have updated timing and the pickup is adjusted accordingly. This is a routine part of coordinating airport and railway station transfers.
Can I extend my cab or tempo traveller booking if the trip runs longer than planned?
In most cases yes, subject to the vehicle and driver's availability for the extra day(s). It's best to flag a possible extension as early as possible so it can be planned rather than arranged at the last minute.
Do tempo travellers come with pushback seats and other comfort features?
Many tempo travellers arranged through MIT's network do offer pushback seating and are suited to long drives, though exact features vary by vehicle. Mention your comfort requirements when booking and a suitable one will be matched.
How is my driver selected?
Drivers are chosen from MIT's vetted network based on the specific route — familiarity with hill or ghat driving, distance and group requirements all factor in, rather than simply assigning whoever is nearest.
Can I book a cab for a temple circuit or pilgrimage trip in Karnataka?
Yes, temple and pilgrimage circuits within Karnataka and neighbouring states are a common booking, with routes and halts planned around darshan timings where relevant.
Is night pickup or late-night airport transfer available?
Yes, early-morning and late-night pickups for flights and trains are handled regularly. Just flag the timing clearly while booking so the driver and vehicle are confirmed for that slot.
How do I get a price estimate before I commit to a booking?
Share your route, dates, group size and vehicle preference with MIT's team by phone, WhatsApp (+91 96119 57301) or email at mitb2btravels@gmail.com, and you'll receive a customised quote before anything is confirmed.
What's the best vehicle for a family of four heading to Coorg for a long weekend?
For a family of four with normal luggage, an SUV is usually the most comfortable choice for Coorg's ghat roads. A sedan works too on a tighter budget if luggage is light, while a tempo traveller would be more vehicle than needed for that group size.
