Quick answer: Shelke Travels offers a 25 seater bus on rent in Pune at ₹33/km for Non AC and ₹42/km for AC, with an experienced driver. Outstation trips are billed on a minimum of 300 km per day, so one day starts at ₹9,900 (Non AC) and ₹12,600 (AC). A Pune local package of 8 hours and 80 km costs ₹6,500 (Non AC) and ₹8,000 (AC). Call or WhatsApp +91 84840 68364 to book.
A 25 seater is the size most Pune groups actually need. Twenty five people are too many for one tempo traveller and too few to fill a 40 seater, where you end up paying for empty seats. One mini bus keeps the whole group together, with one driver, one toll and one parking fee.
We run our buses from Karve Nagar, Pune, and have been moving weddings, yatras, company teams and big families for more than 30 years. Our 25 seater mini buses come in AC and Non AC, with 2×2 pushback seats, a music system with mic and proper luggage space at the back. We pick up from any area in Pune and PCMC, and we drive to Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar, Mumbai, Shirdi, Ashtavinayak, Goa and anywhere else your group plans to go.
Our rates are written right here, so you can plan the budget before you call. The quote you get on WhatsApp follows these same numbers, with toll and parking listed separately.
| Package | 25 Seater AC Bus | 25 Seater Non AC Bus |
|---|---|---|
| Per km rate (outstation) | ₹42/km | ₹33/km |
| 1 day outstation (300 km) | ₹12,600 | ₹9,900 |
| 2 day outstation (600 km) | ₹25,200 | ₹19,800 |
| Pune local (8 hours / 80 km) | ₹8,000 | ₹6,500 |
| Extra km after package | ₹42/km | ₹33/km |
| Extra hour (local package) | ₹500 | ₹400 |
| Other state permit (outside Maharashtra) | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 |
Km are counted garage to garage from Karve Nagar. Outstation trips are billed on a minimum of 300 km per day. Toll, parking and driver night allowance are extra and are always shown in your quote before you pay anything.
Many groups have been surprised by extra charges with other operators. So here is a real style example of how we calculate a 25 seater bus bill. Your quote on WhatsApp looks exactly like this.
| Example: Pune to Shirdi and back, 1 day, AC 25 seater | Amount |
|---|---|
| Distance on the meter (garage to garage) | 400 km |
| Bus rent: 400 km × ₹42/km | ₹16,800 |
| Toll tax | As per receipts, shown to you |
| Parking at Shirdi | As per receipt |
| Driver night allowance | ₹0 (same day return) |
| State permit | ₹0 (inside Maharashtra) |
| Total | ₹16,800 + toll + parking |
| Cost per person for 25 people | About ₹672 + toll share |
Km are counted from our Karve Nagar yard and back. The driver notes the opening and closing reading with you, so you can check it yourself.
We never add a fixed toll amount. You pay what the toll plazas charge, and FASTag receipts are shared on request.
Rate, minimum km, allowance and permit are all in the quote. If it is not in the quote, you do not pay for it.
Most groups ask one thing first: how much will our trip cost? Here are honest round trip estimates for the routes our 25 seater runs most often. The final bill 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 | ₹8,000 | ₹6,500 |
| Pune to Lonavala and Khandala | 300 (minimum) | 1 | ₹12,600 | ₹9,900 |
| Pune to Mumbai | 300 to 330 | 1 | ₹12,600 to ₹13,900 | ₹9,900 to ₹10,900 |
| Pune to Lavasa and Mulshi | 300 (minimum) | 1 | ₹12,600 | ₹9,900 |
| Pune to Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani | 300 (minimum) | 1 | ₹12,600 | ₹9,900 |
| Pune to Bhimashankar | 300 (minimum) | 1 | ₹12,600 | ₹9,900 |
| Pune to Shirdi | 400 | 1 | ₹16,800 | ₹13,200 |
| Pune to Pandharpur | 420 | 1 | ₹17,600 | ₹13,900 |
| Pune to Nashik and Trimbakeshwar | 600 (minimum) | 2 | ₹25,200 | ₹19,800 |
| Pune to Kolhapur | 600 (minimum) | 2 | ₹25,200 | ₹19,800 |
| Ashtavinayak Darshan (all 8 temples) | 700 | 2 | ₹29,400 | ₹23,100 |
| Pune to Goa | 1,200 (minimum) | 4 | ₹50,400 | ₹39,600 |
Toll, parking, driver night allowance and the state permit for Goa or other states are extra. Send your exact route on WhatsApp and we reply with the final fare.
This is the number most people forget to work out. When 25 people share one bus, the cost per head is often lower than train tickets plus local cabs at the other end.
Toll and parking get shared across the group the same way.
Our 25 seater is a proper mini bus, not a stretched van. It carries 25 passengers plus the driver in a 2×2 seating layout, two seats on each side with a centre aisle. Every seat faces forward and has its own pushback, so elders and kids can rest on long drives.
The rear luggage boot and overhead racks take normal bags for the whole group. For wedding trips or long tours where everyone carries a big suitcase, tell us while booking and we will plan the space, or suggest a size up.
The exact model and seat layout can differ a little from bus to bus. Ask on WhatsApp and we will send real photos of the bus booked for you before you pay the advance.
Cushioned seats with headrests and good legroom for long highway drives.
Ducted AC that cools the full cabin, even on a May afternoon (AC bus).
Rear boot plus overhead racks for weekend bags, pooja samagri and sports kits.
For bhajans, antakshari and announcements on the way.
Mobile charging so phones stay alive on long routes.
First aid kit, fire extinguisher, GPS tracking, valid insurance, fitness and permit papers.
Useful for early morning darshan starts and late night returns.
Washed and cleaned inside before it leaves our yard.
No stock images. These are buses from our own Pune fleet. Before booking, ask on WhatsApp and we will send current photos and the number plate of the exact bus coming for your trip.
When you put 25 people, including elders and kids, into one vehicle, safety matters more than anything else. This is what we check before a 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 group coordinator a day before.
Booking the right size saves money. A vehicle that is too big wastes km charges, and one that is too small means people sitting with bags on their lap. Here is how the 25 seater compares with the sizes next to it.
| Point | 25 Seater Bus | 26 Seater Tempo Traveller | 30 Seater Bus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seating | 25 + 1 Driver, 2×2 bus seats | 26 + 1 Driver, 2×1 pushback | 30 + 1 Driver, 2×2 bus seats |
| Best group size | 20 to 25 people | 20 to 26 people | 26 to 30 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 | ₹42/km | ₹40/km | ₹46/km |
| Non AC option | Yes, ₹33/km | AC only | Yes, ₹36/km |
One bus or two tempo travellers? For 22 to 25 people, one AC 25 seater costs ₹12,600 for a 300 km day. Two 13 seater tempo travellers cost about ₹16,200 for the same day. That is a saving of around ₹3,600 per day, plus you pay one toll and one parking fee instead of two, and nobody waits at a dhaba for the second vehicle to catch up.
You can see every size we run on our bus on rent in Pune page.
Both buses have the same 25 seats and the same experienced driver. The real difference is the season, the distance and who is travelling with you. The Non AC bus saves about ₹2,700 on a 300 km day.
The 25 seater sits in a sweet spot. It is big enough for a full extended family or a whole department, and small enough to move easily through Pune traffic, society gates and temple town lanes.
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, we suggest the nearest main road so the bus can stop safely.
Date, pickup point, places, number of people and luggage.
Full fare in writing, with toll, permit and allowance listed line by line.
