Tempo Traveller and Car Hire in Mangalore — With Driver

Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka · Chauffeur-driven only · Doorstep pickup

Mangaluru is where most of our guests land, and where a lot of our work starts — airport pickups at odd hours, families arriving for a wedding, groups heading straight out to Kukke or Dharmasthala. We cover the whole of Dakshina Kannada from Surathkal down to Ullal, and we know the traffic patterns well enough to tell you honestly whether a 7 AM start is going to be enough.

For visitors, the classic Mangaluru run is Kateel, Kadri, Mangaladevi and Kudroli in a single morning, with Panambur or Tannirbhavi in the evening. For pilgrims, it is Dharmasthala and Kukke Subrahmanya, which we do both as a hard one-day trip and as a relaxed overnight. Airport transfers are fixed-rate with flight tracking, and we are comfortable with late-night arrivals.

Where we pick up in Mangalore

  • Mangaluru International Airport (IXE)
  • Mangaluru Central & Junction railway stations
  • State Bank, Hampankatta and Kadri
  • Surathkal, NITK and Mukka
  • Any Mangaluru address, including hotel lobbies

Good to Know

Mangalore — Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We handle late-night and early-morning arrivals at Mangaluru International Airport regularly. Share your flight number when booking and the driver tracks it, so a delayed landing does not cost you extra waiting charges.

Yes, it is a long but very doable day — roughly 260 km round trip. We recommend leaving by 5 AM so you finish Dharmasthala before the mid-morning queue and reach Kukke with time in hand. If you have elderly travellers with you, an overnight is far more comfortable.

The Force Urbania 16+1 — sixteen passenger seats plus the driver. Booking exactly to your headcount leaves no room for luggage, so we always suggest going one size up for outstation trips with baggage.

Both are available. Local city use is usually quoted as a package of hours plus kilometres; outstation trips are quoted per kilometre with a daily minimum. Whichever you choose, you get the full figure in writing before the trip starts.

Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend their service to others.
Dr Rahul · MangaloreMookambika to Mangalore via Udupi
Had a wonderful experience with this service for our round trip from Udupi to Sringeri on 5-Oct-2026. The pricing was very affordable, and our driver, Haris, was extremely friendly, professional, and courteous throughout the journey. The Etios was clean and in excellent condition. What impressed me the most was his safe and confident driving, especially during heavy rain and on the ghat roads. He also drove very carefully while returning at night. I travelled with my family and felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. Overall, it was a very smooth and pleasant experience. I would definitely avail of this service again in the future and would highly recommend Haris and this service to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, and affordable ride.
