Bangalore to Shirdi Minibus Service — 12 to 24 Seater Mini Bus Rental for Temple Groups

Minibus Packages from Bangalore to Shirdi

Every quote is built around your group size, night halts and itinerary, but the four structures below cover how most Bangalore groups travel to Shirdi. All packages are billed garage to garage on total kilometres and hours, with the Maharashtra permit and driver night halt shown as separate lines.

Temple Group Package

The core booking on this route, built for temple committees, bhajan mandalis, senior citizen groups and community pilgrimages of thirteen to thirty-two. The itinerary is planned around darshan timing rather than driving convenience: a Kolhapur night halt for the Mahalakshmi morning darshan, arrival at Shirdi timed to a specific aarti, and two clear days at the Shirdi end for Shani Shingnapur and Trimbakeshwar. Where the group wants the fuller circuit we route via Pandharpur and Tuljapur, which adds a day. We can also assist with Sansthan accommodation enquiries and darshan pass timing, though the booking itself remains with the group.

Family Package

For extended families making the pilgrimage together, typically thirteen to twenty-six people across three generations. The day is paced with generous halts and a driver crew comfortable adjusting around children and elderly travellers, which on a sixteen-hour drive is not a small consideration. We strongly recommend the two-day outbound with a Kolhapur halt over a straight-through run for any group with members over sixty. Five days is the configuration that works: two travelling, two at Shirdi, one returning with a halt. Enquire through our mini bus booking online process, or add a second vehicle from the outstation travel fleet.

Budget Package

For larger community groups and cost-sensitive pilgrimages where filling the vehicle is the main lever. Standard AC or non-AC mini bus, the same route, the same permit handling and the same two-driver or night-halt standard, with the saving coming from vehicle tier rather than from cutting corners on crew rest. On a two-thousand kilometre round trip the fixed costs, permit, tolls and driver charges are shared across every seat, so a full 32 seater brings the per-head figure down dramatically. Weekday departures outside festival weeks reduce the rate further.

Luxury Package

Premium mini coach with deep reclining pushback seats, extra legroom, curtains, LED interior lighting and an entertainment system suitable for bhajans, with a chauffeur crew in formal attire. Of every route we operate this is the one where the seating upgrade earns its cost most clearly, simply because of the hours involved. Suited to family pilgrimages with older members and to groups who intend to travel through the night. Larger parties can move up to our luxury Volvo bus, and smaller premium groups to the Force Urbania.

Billing Details for Bangalore to Shirdi Minibus Hire

Tejas Tours and Travels quotes every minibus booking in writing before you commit, with each component listed separately. There are no verbal-only prices and no charges introduced after the trip that were not on your original quote.

Advance Payment

•      Twenty percent of the total fare is payable in advance to confirm the booking. The balance is settled at the end of the trip after the advance is deducted.

What the Quoted Fare Includes

•      Base fare and fuel charges.

•      Driver allowance.

What the Quoted Fare Excludes

•      Toll charges and parking fees. These are substantial on this route, since NH48 is among the most heavily tolled corridors in the country.

•      Interstate tax and permit charges. This route crosses into Maharashtra, so the permit applies to every Shirdi trip without exception. We estimate it on the written quote.

•      Driver bata after 9:45 PM is charged extra.

•      Driver night halt charges, which apply on every night of a multi-day trip and are shown per night on the quote.

•      Final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage, not from your pickup point. On a round trip of roughly 2,000 km this is the largest single figure on the quote.

•      GST as applicable.

•      Accommodation and darshan or aarti pass charges, which remain with the group.

Insurance Note

•      Tejas Tours and Travels does not cover passengers insurance by the company. Passengers are advised to arrange their own travel insurance where they consider it necessary, and we would recommend it particularly on a route of this length.

•      Tell us whether you want a two-driver straight-through run or a two-day outbound with a night halt, since this changes both the schedule and the price.

•      List any en-route temples you want included, such as Kolhapur, Pandharpur, Tuljapur or Ganagapur, as these change the routing and the number of days.

•      Request comparison quotes for Standard versus Executive Mini Coach at the same time if you want to weigh both.

Step 4 — Your Driver and Mini Bus Arrive Early
