What a tempo traveller suits
Weddings, temple circuits, corporate offsites and family holidays — anywhere splitting a group across several cars would mean arriving at different times. Seats recline, there is proper luggage space at the back, and the 17-seater Urbania adds more legroom on longer drives.
For trips around Pondicherry itself, the 4 hour/40 km and 8 hour/80 km packages keep the vehicle and driver with you all day, which works better than booking separate journeys when the schedule keeps moving.
