Why Choose a Tempo Traveller for Your Wayanad Trip?
Wayanad is approximately a 12–14 hour drive from Chennai (roughly 600+ km). When you’re covering such a long distance, comfort is non-negotiable. Here’s why a Tempo Traveller is the gold standard for road trips:
- Travel Together, Bond Together: Forget the stress of coordinating multiple vehicles or getting lost. In a Tempo Traveller, the holiday starts the moment you pull out of your driveway. You can play games, sing songs, or plan your itinerary together.
- Superior Comfort: Modern Tempo Travellers come with push-back seats, ample legroom, and high-roof designs that allow you to stand up and stretch. Unlike an SUV or sedan, you won’t feel cramped after a few hours on the road.
- Safety and Reliability: Professional rental agencies provide experienced drivers who are well-versed with the Chennai-Wayanad route, including the scenic yet winding ghat roads leading into Wayanad.
- Cost-Effective: When you split the rental cost across 10–15 people, it often works out cheaper than multiple cabs or individual train/bus tickets. Plus, you save on the hassle of booking separate transport for local sightseeing once you reach Wayanad.
- Luggage Space: Wayanad trips usually mean extra gear—trekking shoes, raincoats, and shopping bags full of spices! A Tempo Traveller offers a dedicated luggage compartment, so you aren’t sitting with bags on your laps.
Key Things to Consider When Renting
Before you finalize your booking, keep these tips in mind to ensure a hassle-free experience:
- Vehicle Capacity: Tempo Travellers usually come in various seating configurations (12, 14, 18, and 20 seater Mini Coach). Choose a size that gives everyone a little extra room rather than squeezing in to the maximum capacity.
- Amenities Check: Ask about AC efficiency, push-back seats, music systems, and charging ports. If you’re travelling with family, you might want to specifically request a 2×1 seating arrangement for extra space.
- The Driver’s Expertise: Rajamanickam Travels provides a driver who is experienced in driving on hairpin bends. The Thamarassery or Kuttiady ghat passes require caution and skill.
- Per-Km: Outstation charge per kilometer, Driver Bata Per day Basis, Hill Charges, Kerala State Boarder permit with additional Toll and parking charges
- Vehicle Insurance: Always confirm that the vehicle has a valid permit and full insurance before embarking on an interstate journey (Tamil Nadu to Kerala).
