The Force Urbania seats 17 plus the driver, with pushback captain seats, AC and a big luggage bay. Dehradun rates: local tour Rs 8,000-8,500, outstation Rs 35-40/km, airport transfer Rs 4,000-4,500. Ideal for weddings, corporate groups and Char Dham.
Force Urbania 17-Seater Taxi in Dehradun: The Smart Way to Move a Group
There is a moment in every group trip — a wedding, a corporate offsite, a family reunion or a Char Dham yatra — when someone realises that three sedans are costing too much and travelling too separately. That is exactly when the Force Urbania enters the conversation. Since 2016, Galaxy Hills has run the Urbania across Uttarakhand, and it remains the most asked-about vehicle in our fleet.
What Is the Force Urbania?
The Force Urbania is a premium high-roof van built for passenger comfort — the kind of vehicle you usually see on corporate and wedding duty. It seats 17 passengers plus the driver in a 2x1 captain-seat layout, with wide reclining seats, generous headroom, air conditioning and a proper luggage bay. Unlike a bus, it drives and parks like a large van, which makes it surprisingly practical on mountain roads.

Seating: 17 Seats That Actually Work for Groups
- 17 passengers plus driver, 2x1 captain-seat layout
- Pushback seats in the front rows — genuine comfort on long drives
- Full headroom — no crouching, even in the last row
- AC throughout — essential for the climb from the plains to the hills
- With heavy luggage, 14-15 passengers is the more comfortable load
Luggage: A Boot That Swallows Suitcases
The Urbania's rear luggage bay takes around 20-25 bags of 15-20 kg, with additional space for soft bags. For a wedding party or a yatra group this is a game-changer — everyone's luggage travels in the same vehicle, nobody waits at the destination for a separate luggage car, and the roof rack stays empty.
Why Groups Choose Urbania Over Multiple Sedans
| Option | Cost Feel | Comfort | Logistics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three sedans (14 people) | Three fares, three fuels | Three separate trips | Convoy coordination |
| Two SUVs | Two fares | Split group | Two drivers to manage |
| One Urbania | One fare | Everyone together | One point of contact |
Groups travel together — the journey becomes part of the event instead of a logistics exercise.
Weddings, Corporate and Family Trips
The Urbania is the default choice for:
- Wedding guest transfers — airport pickups, hotel runs and venue shuttles in one vehicle
- Corporate offsites — teams travelling from Delhi or local office groups heading to retreats in Mussoorie
- Family reunions — three generations in one AC van, no convoy stress
- School and college groups — day trips to Rishikesh, Haridwar and nearby attractions
Urbania for Char Dham and Long Hill Routes
A 17-seater might sound like a bus, but the Urbania is a frequent choice for the Char Dham circuit:
- Wide captain seats keep pilgrims comfortable over 1,100 km of mountain road
- Strong engine handles steep gradients even fully loaded
- More headroom and AC beat a tempo traveller on long days
- A rest-stop routine is built into our yatra itineraries so nobody gets stiff

What to Ask Before Booking an Urbania
- Exact seating layout — how many rows and which rows recline
- Luggage capacity — does your group's luggage fit the bay, or do we need roof space?
- Hill routes — is the vehicle equipped and the driver experienced on your route?
- The full fare — per km or per day, and exactly what is included
- Driver rest plan — on overnight trips, a rested driver is a safe driver
