traveller tempo with a tour business

Running a traveller tempo with a tour business can be profitable, but it depends on many factors like location, route, demand, management, and maintenance. Let’s break it down in simple terms:


Positives (Advantages):

  • Steady income in tourist season (especially weekends/holidays).

  • Can run multiple tours – local sightseeing, pilgrimage, group trips.

  • Low staff cost (only 1 driver/helper needed).

  • Can expand into packages (hotel + tour + food).


Negatives (Challenges):

  • High fuel cost (especially with AC on long routes).

  • Regular maintenance needed for suspension, tyres, brakes.

  • Off-season = less or no income.

  • Competitive market (price wars with other operators).

  • License/permits needed (RTO, tourist permit).


🔧 Daily Maintenance Cost Estimate (Approx in ₹):

Item Cost/Day (approx)
Diesel (₹100/ltr) – 100 km/day ₹1,500
Driver Salary (avg) ₹500 – ₹700
Cleaning & Wash ₹50 – ₹100
Toll & Parking ₹200 – ₹300
Small Repairs/Service (avg) ₹100/day
Total Daily Expense ₹2,500 – ₹3,000

💰 Income / Outcome (Monthly Avg for 20 trips/month):

Type Estimate (₹)
Income per trip (avg) ₹5,000 – ₹8,000
Monthly Income (20 trips) ₹1,00,000 – ₹1,60,000
Monthly Expenses (fuel, salary, service) ₹60,000 – ₹90,000
Net Profit/Month ₹30,000 – ₹70,000

📊 Last Profit Example (1 Tempo Traveller):

Let’s say:

  • You run 15 trips/month

  • Each trip earns ₹6,000 (avg)

  • Income = ₹90,000

  • Expenses = ₹65,000

  • Profit = ₹25,000/month


💡 Tips to Increase Profit:

  • Offer package deals (food + stay).

  • List on platforms like MakeMyTrip, Justdial, Google.

  • Partner with hotels, event planners, schools.

  • Promote on social media & WhatsApp groups.
