Frequently Asked Questions
A Tata Ace can carry up to 750 kg of goods in a load space of approximately 7 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 3.5 feet high (sides included). It fits a single bed, a small wardrobe, a refrigerator, and 10 to 15 medium-sized boxes.
Standard tempo hire includes the vehicle and driver only. Loading and unloading help is available as an add-on for 300 to 600 per helper per hour. Confirm whether you need a helper when booking so they can be arranged.
Yes. Tata Ace and Bolero pickups are available for short intercity moves up to 300 km. For longer distances, a 14-foot or 20-foot truck is more economical. Ask for an intercity quote when you fill the form.
Most tempo services have a minimum booking of 4 hours for local city movement. Within those 4 hours you get multiple trips within the city if the distance is short enough. After 4 hours, additional time is billed by the hour.
Yes. In most metros and Tier 1 cities, a Tata Ace or pickup can be arranged within 2 to 4 hours of booking. For the next morning, book the previous evening to confirm availability. Weekend demand is higher — book early.
Standard tempo hire does not include goods insurance. If your items are valuable, add transit insurance before the trip. It costs 0.5 to 1 percent of declared goods value and covers damage and theft during transit.
Intercity tempo rates are usually quoted per kilometre (one way) plus a loading charge. For example, a Tata Ace from Delhi to Agra (200 km) at 15/km is 3,000 plus loading charges. Return empty (no cargo back) may attract an extra charge.
Yes. Cancellations more than 4 hours before the booking time are usually free. Cancellations within 4 hours may attract a small cancellation fee. Rescheduling is free if done before the vehicle departs. Check the specific policy when booking.
