Force Urbania for the Pune to Mahabaleshwar trip has become the first choice for groups who've had enough of squeezing into a regular tempo traveller on this hill route. Pune to Mahabaleshwar Urbania on rent gets you a quieter ride, wider seats, and a cabin that still feels comfortable by the time you reach — most vehicles on this road can't say the same. There's a 9-seater for smaller families, a 13-seater if it's a mid-size group, and a 17-seater when the whole extended family's coming along for this Mahabaleshwar tour package. All three come with proper pushback seats, not the stiff bench seating you'd still find in older vans. Urbania on rent works fine for a corporate weekend outing too, not just family trips, and once you've tried this kind of luxury van rental on the Pasarni Ghat stretch, going back to a regular van just feels off. Booking one for your next Mahabaleshwar trip is a fairly easy call after that.
The Pune to Mahabaleshwar distance by road runs close to 124 km. Travelling by Force Urbania Pune via NH 48 and the Poladpur-Wai-Surur road, the trip usually takes about 3 hours end to end. Our drivers are used to the sharp hairpin bends on Pasarni Ghat, and Urbania's 140hp CRDI engine, paired with its suspension, keeps the ride steady through the climb — whether you're starting from Pune city or picking up straight from Pune Airport (PNQ). If you're flying in, check our car rental service from Pune Airport page for a direct pickup option.
If you've already looked at our luxury tempo traveller on rent in Pune page, you'll notice the Urbania takes things a step further. Here's what actually makes the difference on this route:
Most groups stick to the well-known viewpoints, but if you've got an extra day or two, our Urbania — a solid tempo traveller alternative for this route — can take you to Tapola, often called the Mini Kashmir of Maharashtra. Shivsagar Lake here is great for water sports, and the surrounding jungle makes for an easy group trek. There's also Lingmala Waterfall, tucked along a hidden trail that bigger buses simply can't reach. Our Urbania, working as a proper luxury minibus hire option, gets you right up to the base parking so nobody in the group has to walk far.
We keep the Urbania per KM rate in Pune simple to follow. Rates typically run between Rs. 30 and Rs. 35 per km depending on the seating layout you pick, and the driver allowance plus fuel are already part of that number. Tolls, state permits, and hill parking are billed separately, and we tell you this upfront so there's no confusion once the trip wraps up. This is the same outstation cab service standard we apply across all our outstation fleet booking options — no hidden charges, no last-minute additions to the bill.
| Force Urbania | Rate Per KM (Outstation) | Driver Allowance (Per Day) | Airport Drop (Fixed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Seater | Rs. 26/- per km | Rs. 600/- per day | Rs. 5,500/- (Fixed Package) |
| 13 Seater | Rs. 28/- per km | Rs. 700/- per day | Rs. 6,200/- (Fixed Package) |
| 17 Seater | Rs. 30/- per km | Rs. 700/- per day | Rs. 7,000/- (Fixed Package) |
Our premium Force Urbania rental service doesn't just drop you at a point — it takes the group through both the well-known spots and a few that most tourists miss. Drivers on this road know the turns are cold, so folks can look out the window instead of hanging on before every bend.
