Do we have to pay the driver a meal allowance during the trip?|Off-topic Stuff|Forum|SNES HUB

No, you do not have to separately pay the driver meal allowance during a Tempo Traveller trip in Delhi NCR.

In most cases, the driver allowance (also called DA, typically ₹400–₹700 per day) covers the driver’s food, meals, accommodation, and other daily expenses for outstation trips. This is a standard practice among reliable operators; the allowance is either built into the total fare (per km or package) or added as a fixed daily charge (e.g., ₹500/day), and it explicitly includes meals and lodging, so you don’t need to arrange or pay extra for the driver’s food separately.

For local Delhi trips (same-day/within city), driver allowance is usually minimal or included, with no separate meal costs. Always confirm the inclusions in your quote; transparent providers clearly state that the DA covers food/accommodation.

For a more premium and comfortable experience with similar policies (allowance covering meals), consider upgrading to Tempo Traveller Rental in Delhi alternatives like luxury Force Urbania vans. They offer superior ride quality while keeping costs clear and hassle-free!
