Is your group too big for a tempo traveller but too small for a full size bus? A 22 seater bus on rent in Pune is the right fit. Shelke Travels sends a clean AC or Non AC mini bus with an experienced driver for weddings, office outings, school picnics, darshan tours and weekend trips.

Quick answer: A 22 seater bus on rent in Pune costs ₹30/km for Non AC and ₹38/km for AC at Shelke Travels, with driver and fuel included. Outstation trips are billed on a minimum of 300 km per day, so one day starts at ₹9,000 (Non AC) and ₹11,400 (AC). A Pune local package of 8 hours and 80 km is ₹6,000 (Non AC) and ₹7,500 (AC). Toll and parking are extra as per receipts. Call or WhatsApp +91 84840 68364 to book.
Most group trips from Pune have somewhere between 18 and 22 people. Book a 25 or 32 seater and you pay for seats nobody sits on. Split the group into two tempo travellers and you pay for two drivers, two tolls and two parking slips, and someone always waits at the dhaba for the second vehicle. A 22 seater mini bus fixes both problems. Everyone gets a proper seat, the bags go in the back, and the bill stays lower than any bigger bus.
We run our fleet from Karve Nagar and have handled Pune group travel for more than 30 years. That means wedding guests in Kothrud and Baner, IT teams from Hinjewadi and Kharadi, Ashtavinayak and Shirdi yatras, and society picnics to Lonavala and Mulshi. The mini bus picks you up from your building, hall or office anywhere in Pune and PCMC.
No guesswork. These are the same numbers we use when we send your quote on WhatsApp. Toll, parking and permit always come as separate lines, never hidden inside the rate.
| Package | 22 Seater AC Bus | 22 Seater Non AC Bus |
|---|---|---|
| Per km rate (outstation) | ₹38/km | ₹30/km |
| 1 day outstation (300 km) | ₹11,400 | ₹9,000 |
| 2 day outstation (600 km) | ₹22,800 | ₹18,000 |
| 3 day outstation (900 km) | ₹34,200 | ₹27,000 |
| Pune local (8 hours / 80 km) | ₹7,500 | ₹6,000 |
| Extra km after package | ₹38/km | ₹30/km |
| Extra hour (local package) | ₹450 | ₹350 |
| Other state permit (outside Maharashtra) | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 |
Km are counted garage to garage from our Karve Nagar yard. Outstation trips are billed on a minimum of 300 km per day. Toll, parking and driver night allowance are extra and are written in your quote before you pay anything.
Before you hand a vehicle full of family or colleagues to anyone, read what other groups say. These are real reviews from our Google Business Profile, posted by families, wedding parties and companies who travelled with our drivers. Most of them mention the driver by name, because the driver is who you spend the whole day with.

Every group has heard a story about a bill that grew at the end of the trip. So here is exactly how we work out a 22 seater bill, using a common Pune weekend plan. Your WhatsApp quote is laid out the same way.
| Example: Pune to Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani, same day return, AC 22 seater | Amount |
|---|---|
| Actual distance (garage to garage) | About 260 km |
| Billed distance (300 km daily minimum) | 300 km |
| Bus rent: 300 km × ₹38/km | ₹11,400 |
| Toll tax | As per receipts, shown to you |
| Parking at Mahabaleshwar | As per receipt |
| Driver night allowance | ₹0 (same day return) |
| State permit | ₹0 (inside Maharashtra) |
| Total | ₹11,400 + toll + parking |
| Cost per person for 22 people | About ₹518 + toll share |
Km are counted from our Karve Nagar yard and back. The driver notes the opening and closing reading in front of your coordinator, so you can check it yourself.
We never add a fixed toll figure. You pay what the plazas actually charge, and FASTag receipts are shared on request.
Rate, minimum km, allowance and permit are written in the quote. If something is not in the quote, it does not go on your bill.
The first question every group asks is how much the whole trip will cost. Below are honest round trip estimates for the routes our 22 seater runs most often. The final bill always follows the actual km on the meter.
| Route from Pune (round trip) | Approx. km | Days | AC bus | Non AC bus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pune local / Pune Darshan | 80 km | 8 hrs | ₹7,500 | ₹6,000 |
| Pune to Lonavala and Khandala | 300 (minimum) | 1 | ₹11,400 | ₹9,000 |
| Pune to Mumbai | 300 to 330 | 1 | ₹11,400 to ₹12,540 | ₹9,000 to ₹9,900 |
| Pune to Lavasa and Mulshi | 300 (minimum) | 1 | ₹11,400 | ₹9,000 |
| Pune to Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani | 300 (minimum) | 1 | ₹11,400 | ₹9,000 |
| Pune to Bhimashankar | 300 (minimum) | 1 | ₹11,400 | ₹9,000 |
| Pune to Shirdi | 400 | 1 | ₹15,200 | ₹12,000 |
| Pune to Pandharpur | 420 | 1 | ₹15,960 | ₹12,600 |
| Pune to Nashik and Trimbakeshwar | 600 (minimum) | 2 | ₹22,800 | ₹18,000 |
| Pune to Kolhapur | 600 (minimum) | 2 | ₹22,800 | ₹18,000 |
| Ashtavinayak Darshan (all 8 temples) | 700 | 2 | ₹26,600 | ₹21,000 |
| Pune to Goa | 1,200 (minimum) | 4 | ₹45,600 | ₹36,000 |
Toll, parking, driver night allowance and the state permit for Goa are extra. Send your exact route on WhatsApp and we reply with the final fare.
Split the fare across 22 people and the number gets very friendly. It is often less than a return train ticket plus autos at the other end, and nobody has to carry bags through a station.
Toll and parking are shared the same way across the group.
The 22 seater is a real mini bus, not a long van. It carries 22 passengers plus the driver, usually in a 2×2 layout with a centre aisle. Every seat faces forward and has a headrest and pushback, so elders can rest and kids can sleep on the way back.
The rear boot and overhead racks take a normal bag for each person on a weekend trip. Going for a wedding or a long Goa tour where everyone carries a big suitcase? Tell us while booking so we plan the space properly or suggest the 25 seater bus.
Seat layout and model can vary a little from bus to bus. Ask on WhatsApp and we send real photos of the bus booked for you before you pay the advance.
These photos are from our own Pune fleet. Before you book, ask on WhatsApp and we send current photos and the number plate of the exact bus coming for your trip, so there are no surprises on the day.
Twenty two people in one vehicle, often with grandparents and small kids, means safety comes before everything else. This is what we check before a mini bus leaves our yard.
Travelling with women, kids or senior citizens? Tell us while booking. We send a senior, calm driver, plan regular washroom stops and share the driver’s name and number with your coordinator one day before the trip.
Picking the right size saves real money. Too big and you pay for empty km. Too small and people end up with bags on their lap for five hours. Here is how the 22 seater compares with the sizes on either side of it.
| Point | 22 Seater Bus | 20 Seater Tempo Traveller | 25 Seater Bus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seating | 22 + 1 Driver, mini bus seats | 20 + 1 Driver, 2×1 pushback | 25 + 1 Driver, 2×2 bus seats |
| Best group size | 18 to 22 people | 15 to 20 people | 22 to 25 people |
| Luggage | Rear boot and overhead racks | Rear boot and roof carrier | Bigger rear boot and racks |
| Narrow lanes and ghats | Easy | Easiest | Good |
| AC rate | ₹38/km | Ask for quote | ₹42/km |
| Non AC option | Yes, ₹30/km | Yes | Yes, ₹33/km |
22 people: one bus or two vehicles? One AC 22 seater costs ₹11,400 for a 300 km day. Two smaller vehicles mean two drivers, two tolls and two parking slips, and the total almost always comes out higher. One bus also keeps the whole group together for every stop and photo.
See every size we run on our bus on rent in Pune page.
Not sure 22 seats is the right number? Shelke Travels runs every size from a 9 seater Urbania to a 50 seater coach, all from one Pune office with the same drivers and the same clear pricing. Pick the size that matches your head count and open its page for full rates.
Tip: count everyone including kids above 5 years, then add one or two seats for comfort on trips longer than four hours.
Both buses have the same 22 seats and the same experienced driver. The difference is ₹8 per km, which is about ₹2,400 on a 300 km day. Season, distance and the people in your group decide which one makes sense.
A 22 seater is big enough for a full joint family or a whole department, yet small enough to turn into society gates, wadas and temple town lanes where big buses cannot go.
We pick up your group from home, office, society gate or hall anywhere in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad. Pickup inside city limits is free. If your lane is narrow, the driver will suggest the nearest main road where the bus can stop safely.
