Executive vans for OMR, Sriperumbudur and the East Coast Road
Chennai's Urbania demand comes overwhelmingly from the IT corridor and the manufacturing belt — OMR, Sriperumbudur, Oragadam — where visiting teams expect a vehicle that presents well at a plant gate or a client portico. We run 13 and 17 seat Urbanias from ₹30/km here, slightly above the Bangalore rate because utilisation is more seasonal. The sealed monocoque cabin also handles the East Coast Road's salt-laden air better than a panelled coach body, which matters over a vehicle's service life.
Indicative per-kilometre rates from the Chennai hub. Final quote depends on route, duration and season.
| Vehicle | Seats | From |
|---|---|---|
| Force Urbania 10 Seater | 10 | ₹28/km (300km min/day) |
| Force Urbania 13 Seater | 13 | ₹30/km |
| Force Urbania 17 Seater | 17 | ₹32/km (300km min/day) |
Two Chennai-specific points. First, the drive from the airport at Meenambakkam to OMR crosses the city rather than skirting it, so a 4pm landing means ninety minutes to Sholinganallur; we quote that leg on time rather than distance. Second, north-east monsoon flooding between October and December makes ground clearance the deciding factor on several OMR service roads, and the Urbania sits higher than a Tempo Traveller — during those months it is the vehicle we actively recommend for that corridor.
The Urbania, on ground clearance alone. Between October and December the service roads off OMR hold water after heavy rain, and the Urbania sits meaningfully higher than a Tempo Traveller. We shift corporate bookings on that corridor to Urbanias during those months as a matter of course.
Yes, and this is regular work for us. Send the plant name and visit date with your booking so we can pre-register the vehicle and driver with plant security. Most units on that belt require registration at least twenty-four hours ahead.
Ninety minutes on a weekday evening, around fifty in light traffic. The route crosses the city rather than bypassing it, so we quote this leg hourly rather than per kilometre — you are not charged for time lost in a jam you did not cause.
