How does luggage change the choice?
Seat counts assume normal bags. When the car is full, luggage space is smallest; for airport trips and holidays with big suitcases, choose one size up or travel with fewer people per car.
| People | Light luggage | Heavy luggage |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Sedan | Sedan or Ertiga |
| 4 | Sedan | Ertiga |
| 5–6 | Ertiga | Innova Crysta |
| 7 | Innova Crysta | Innova Crysta plus a sedan, or a Tempo Traveller |
| 8 or more | Tempo Traveller or bus | Tempo Traveller or bus |
A guide only. Tell us your exact group and bags and we confirm.
What does each seat cost?
When every seat is used, the Ertiga is the cheapest per passenger: about ₹2.17 per seat per km, against about ₹2.57 for the Innova Crysta and ₹3 for the sedan.
Example: five people going 100 km pay ₹1,300 in one Ertiga, against ₹2,400 in two sedans. For a group of seven on a long drive, one Innova Crysta (₹1,800 for 100 km) is simpler than two cars.
What about groups of eight or more?
For eight or more, a Tempo Traveller or bus keeps everyone together and is quoted on call. Alternatively, an Innova Crysta and a sedan carry up to eleven people between them.
