It is one van, and it is ours — the van on this page is the van that comes. A child under two can ride on a parent's lap; everyone else has a seat.

Why groups pick an Urbania for a road trip

A 16-seater keeps a group of twelve to sixteen in one vehicle with one driver, instead of three cars that lose each other at the first toll plaza. Everybody stops when the van stops, and the luggage travels with its owners.

The Urbania is Force Motors' newer van, launched in November 2022 on a platform Force built for it from the ground up. The engine sits outside the passenger cabin, behind a single-panel firewall, and the cabin has stand-up height. In ours every passenger also has a pushback seat and a charging point, which matters more in hour seven on the road to Manali than in hour one.

An All-India permit, and what it means at a state border

Our van holds an All-India Tourist Permit, so it may carry a tourist group into any state. Under the All India Tourist Vehicles (Permit) Rules, 2023, the permit fee is paid once, centrally, and the Ministry of Road Transport wrote to every state in August 2023 telling them not to charge such vehicles a separate passenger tax, border tax or check-post fee.

Tolls are a different thing: every vehicle pays them, and the fare says whether they are in it.

What to send us for a quote

The date you leave and the date you come back, the pickup address, every place you want to stop overnight, and how many people are travelling — children included, and any infant who will sit on a lap. If the trip starts at the airport, add the flight number.

From that we work out the kilometres the trip runs and reply with one figure, and with what is and is not inside it.

How far it is from Delhi

One way, by road, before stops. Your pickup address moves these by a few kilometres; a hill road takes longer in a 16-seater than in a car.

What the fare is made of

Questions people ask before they book

Sixteen passengers, each in their own seat, one of them beside the driver. A child under two can travel on a parent's lap and does not take a seat.

Yes. The van has an All-India Tourist Permit, so it can run from Delhi to any state with your group and bring you back.

The All India Tourist Vehicles (Permit) Rules, 2023 settle the permit fee centrally, and the transport ministry told the states in August 2023 not to charge these vehicles a separate passenger, border or check-post tax. Tolls are separate and every vehicle pays them; your quote says whether they are included.

AC, pushback seats, a charging point at every seat and a music system. There is no TV.
