MEE CABS offers Luxury Urbania Kerala with well-maintained air-conditioned vehicles, courteous drivers and clearly explained fares. Customers can arrange airport transfers, local travel, outstation journeys and customised Kerala tours with practical booking support.
A luxury Urbania gives small and medium groups a more refined travel experience for long-distance routes. Depending on the selected configuration, features may include reclining seats, individual air vents, charging points and improved cabin space.
Below is everything worth knowing before booking — the pricing for each seat, the routes people actually book, what's included versus what gets billed separately, and the questions that come up most often.
Our Premium Urbania Rental Kerala service focuses on clean interiors, regular vehicle maintenance, experienced drivers and clear booking support. The Luxury Urbania Kerala option is suitable for airport transfers, family holidays, corporate travel, pilgrimage tours and multi-day routes across Kerala. MEE CABS confirms the vehicle, route, kilometre terms and applicable charges before the journey so your group can plan with confidence.
Most fleets in Kerala stick to a similar base set of features. A handful of premium operators throw in extras like massage seats or an LED screen, but here's what you should expect as standard:
If a listing skips mentioning these, ask directly before paying anything. A few budget operators cut costs by dropping the ice box or squeezing the seats closer together.
Three things decide the price: the seat you pick, whether it's a local run or an outstation trip, and what time of year you're travelling. For a local Kochi package — around 8 hours and 80 km — here's roughly what to expect:

Outstation trips, like Kochi to Munnar or Kochi to Wayanad, usually run on a per-day package with a fixed kilometre limit built in — anything beyond that gets charged extra. Toll, parking and interstate permit fees are rarely folded into the base price, so it's worth asking about these before confirming, not after you're back home settling the bill.
Rates climb during Onam, Christmas and the New Year week — sometimes by 20 to 30% — simply because there aren't enough vans to go around. If your dates fall near any of these, book two to three weeks ahead if you can.

Kochi to Munnar — This is the route everyone books first. It's roughly a 4-hour drive with around 36 hairpin bends on the way, and the Urbania handles that stretch noticeably better than most other vehicles. Drivers who do this route regularly usually know exactly where to stop for tea or a quick photo break — small thing, but it genuinely makes the long drive easier.
Kochi to Alleppey — Flatter and shorter, around 1.5 hours, and often paired with a houseboat stay. A lot of groups book this one-way and sort the return trip separately if they're covering more ground afterward.
Kochi to Wayanad — It's closer to 6 hours one way, so most people plan it as a 2-3 day trip instead of trying to squeeze it into a single day.
Kochi to Thekkady — About 5 hours to reach Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. Groups often combine this with Munnar since the two aren't far apart on the map.
Kochi to Kovalam — Roughly 5 hours down the coast, either via Alleppey or the NH66, and a common pick for beach trips paired with a stop in Trivandrum.
Multi-day Kerala circuits — The Munnar-Thekkady-Alleppey-Kovalam loop over 5 to 7 days is what most agencies mean when they say "full Kerala tour," and you keep the same van and driver the whole way through.
Kochi has the largest concentration of Urbania fleets, partly because of its proximity to Cochin International Airport, and partly because most Kerala circuits start from here anyway. Landing at the airport and starting the trip the same day works out simplest if you book from Kochi.
Trivandrum has fewer operators but enough to cover south Kerala routes — Kovalam, Varkala, and trips toward the Tamil Nadu border. If your entire itinerary stays in the south, booking locally here usually costs less than bringing a van down from Kochi.
Calicut (Kozhikode) makes more sense if you're headed toward Wayanad, Bekal, or anywhere along the Malabar coast. There aren't as many agencies operating out of Calicut compared to Kochi, so it's worth booking a little early to avoid any last-minute scrambling.
Thrissur sits between Kochi and Calicut, and a small number of operators run from here too — mostly busy during temple festival season when local demand spikes.
Both show up constantly when you search for group travel in Kerala, so here's a quick side-by-side:
| Factor | Force Urbania | Tempo Traveller |
|---|---|---|
| Seat comfort | Pushback seats, more legroom | Standard reclining seats |
| Headroom | Taller build, flat floor | Slightly lower roof |
| Best for | Weddings, corporate groups, premium tours | Budget group travel |
| Price | Higher | Roughly 15-20% lower |
| Seating | 10 to 17 | 9 to 14 |
If the group is under 14 and cost matters more than extras, a Tempo Traveller does the job fine. If it's a wedding party or a corporate group where the experience matters, the Urbania is worth the difference.
Nearly every travel agency in Kochi lists an Urbania somewhere on their site now, so a few checks before booking can save you a bad trip:
Vehicle age — Ask whether it's a BS6 model from 2022 or later. Older vans tend to have tired seats and weaker AC.
Driver experience — On hill routes, a driver who actually knows the roads changes the whole trip.
Clear pricing — Get toll, permit and parking costs written down separately, not just quoted verbally over a call.
Real reviews — Reviews that name a specific driver or route usually say more than a generic five-star rating with no detail.
Cancellation terms — Kerala's monsoon can mess with travel plans, so check whether advance payments come back if something changes at the last minute.
Booking one isn't complicated, but doing it in the right order saves back-and-forth later:
