Force Urbania on Rent in Mumbai

Hire a Force Urbania in Mumbai with a driver. Our main vehicle is the 16 seater AC luxury Urbania, and we also run 9, 10 and 17 seater versions. It has a high roof you can stand under, reclining seats and separate air conditioning vents for every row.

The ride is what people notice. The Urbania has independent front suspension, where a standard tempo traveller runs on leaf springs, so bad road surfaces get absorbed rather than passed through to you. Every seating version uses the same body length, so the difference between them is how the inside is laid out, not how big the vehicle is.

We own our Urbania and run it out of Kandivali. The family behind Avante Travels has been moving groups around Mumbai since 1975.

Every Urbania We Run

All our Urbanias are the same length outside. What changes is what is fitted inside.

  1. 16seats
    2 by 1 · Our main Urbania

    16 Seater AC Luxury Urbania on Rent

    Our main Urbania, a DX 2026 facelift model that we own. Sixteen reclining seats in a two by one layout, full air conditioning with vents along every row, and a roof tall enough to walk under. This is what most group bookings go out in.

  2. 9–10seats
    1 by 1 · Maharaja seats

    9 and 10 Seater Luxury Modified Urbania on Rent

    The same vehicle rebuilt inside with extra large Maharaja seats, one on each side of the aisle. You lose six seats and gain a great deal of room per person. This is the one to book when the drive is long or when older passengers are travelling. It is our Maharaja Urbania.

  3. 12+4seats and bed
    12 premium seats · 4 seater sofa-cum-bed

    Urbania with Sofa-cum-Bed

    A configuration with 12 premium seats and a 4 seater sofa-cum-bed at the back. Somebody can actually lie down on a long stretch, which changes how a six hour drive feels. Ask for it by name when you enquire, because we run a limited number.

  4. 17seats
    2 by 1 · Highest seat count

    17 Seater Urbania on Rent

    The highest seat count we offer in an Urbania. Same body, same length, one more seat than the 16. Worth knowing that inside space is tight at this count, so read the luggage section below before booking it for an overnight trip.

The most asked question

How Much Luggage Actually Fits

The Urbania has limited space inside for bags, so most luggage travels on the roof carrier.

That is normal for this vehicle and it is how we load it. As a rule, medium sized bags roughly match the number of seats, and large bags come to about 60 to 65 per cent of the seat count.

Tell us roughly how many bags are coming when you ask for a quote. It takes one line and it means the carrier is fitted and the loading is planned before the vehicle leaves.

An honest comparison

Force Urbania or Tempo Traveller?

Take the Urbania if comfort matters most, or if you want a vehicle you can stand up in. Take the tempo traveller if you need more than 17 seats, if the budget is tight, or if there is a lot of luggage, because a tempo traveller holds more inside.

Both use the same engine, so this is about ride and space rather than power.

What People Hire the Urbania For

One vehicle, one group, one driver who knows the route. These are the trips it spends most of its year on.

Where it goes

Popular Routes in a Force Urbania

Google Maps times assume a car on an empty road. A full vehicle with a speed limiter, a halt and Mumbai traffic on the way out takes longer, and the distance runs higher than the straight line too. Here is what to actually plan for.

Some venues and rural roads on these routes cannot take a large vehicle. Tell us the exact pickup and drop address, including any unpaved or monsoon affected stretches, and we will confirm access before you book rather than on the day.

Ours, not sourced

This Is Our Own Urbania

We own a 16 seater AC luxury Force Urbania, a DX 2026 facelift model, and we service it at our own garage. When you book an Urbania, this is the vehicle that comes.

Pickup points across Mumbai include Kandivali, Andheri, Mira Road and Bhayander, so the vehicle usually starts closer to you than our garage does.

Partner vehicles

When we bring in a vehicle from our vetted partner network, it is no more than three years old and in the same category you booked or higher. Occasionally we upgrade a client at the same price, and we do not charge extra when that happens.

Inspection

You are welcome to come and inspect the actual vehicle before you book. Call ahead so we can make sure it is not out on a job.

State tax

On most nearby states we pass on a discount of up to 50 per cent on the normal state tax, all year round, not as a seasonal offer. If you would rather have one all inclusive figure with nothing charged afterwards, ask and we will quote it that way.

How distance is counted

Our buses and tempo travellers run from Kandivali. Our cars run from Andheri. We do not want to bill you for the drive to your door, so for most pickups across Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai we calculate distance from a point closer to your boarding location once you tell us where that is. Both kilometres and hours are counted the same way.

Waiting

A note on waiting. No vehicle stays running in standby for more than ten minutes in one spot. If you need the engine and air conditioning kept on while the vehicle waits, tell us and we will quote it, because it burns fuel.

    Force Urbania FAQs

    Every answer starts with the answer. If yours is not here, it is usually about a specific route or date, and both are quicker on a call.

    Ask about your trip →

    Roughly as many medium bags as there are seats, and about 60 to 65 per cent of that number in large bags. Inside space is limited on an Urbania, so most luggage travels on the roof carrier. Tell us the bag count when you book and we fit the carrier in advance.

    We run it mainly as a 16 seater, and a 17 seater version is available. There are also 9 and 10 seater luxury versions with much larger seats. All of them are the same length outside. Only the inside layout changes.

    It is our 9 or 10 seater. The standard rows come out and extra large Maharaja seats go in, one on each side of the aisle. Fewer people, far more room each. It is the version we suggest for long drives and for older passengers.

    Yes. One configuration has 12 premium seats and a 4 seater sofa-cum-bed at the back, so someone can lie down on a long stretch. We run a limited number, so ask for it by name.

    For comfort, yes. Independent front suspension and a taller cabin mean a softer ride and you can stand up inside. Both use the same engine, so neither is faster. For more than 17 people, a tighter budget, or a lot of luggage, the tempo traveller is the better choice.

    Yes. The cabin is tall enough for most adults to stand and walk down the aisle without stooping. It is one of the biggest differences from a standard tempo traveller.

    Yes. The Urbania has vents along every row, so the back row gets the same cooling as the front.

    All our vehicles are speed limited to 80 km per hour, which RTO rules require. It is set in the vehicle and we cannot raise it. Factor that into your timings, and see the route table above for realistic drive times.

    From a point close to your boarding location wherever we can, not strictly from our garage. Our buses and tempo travellers sit in Kandivali and our cars in Andheri, and we would rather not bill you for the drive to your door. Tell us your pickup point and we will confirm how it is being counted.

    The bigger the vehicle, the lower the cost per head. A 13 seater on a Lonavala day trip runs about ₹8,000, which is roughly ₹615 each. A 49 seater coach on the same trip runs about ₹18,000, which is roughly ₹367 each. If you are close to the next size up, it is usually worth going up.

    Book one size bigger than your headcount. It leaves a spare row, so someone can put their feet up and lie down on a long stretch, or the children have somewhere to play. It is the single best piece of advice we give and it costs very little.

    To secure your preferred vehicle, book as early as you can. We also take last minute bookings up to an hour before pickup, depending on what is free and where it is.

    Yes. Our garage is in Kandivali and you are welcome to come and look at the actual Urbania. Call ahead so we can make sure it is not out on a job.

    We service in house on a fixed schedule, so it is rare. If it happens, call the number on your booking confirmation and we arrange a replacement. Any partner vehicle we send is under three years old and in the same category or higher.
