# How many passengers can travel in each available vehicle type?

**Short answer:** Sedan 4, Ertiga 6, Innova Crysta 7; groups in a Tempo or bus.

With Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels, a Swift Dzire sedan takes 4 passengers, an Ertiga 6 and an Innova Crysta 7, not counting the driver. For more than seven people, the group travels in a Tempo Traveller or bus, or in two cars. Fewer passengers than seats leaves more room for luggage.

## Key facts: seats by vehicle

| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Swift Dzire sedan | 4 passengers |
| Ertiga | 6 passengers |
| Innova Crysta | 7 passengers |
| Tempo Traveller | Groups; size confirmed on quote |
| Bus | Large groups; size confirmed on quote |
| Driver | Not counted in the passenger numbers |
| Children | Count every child as a passenger |
| Luggage | Tell us the bags; fewer passengers leaves more room |

## 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.

## Follow-up questions

**Can five people fit in a sedan?** No. A sedan takes four passengers. Five people need an Ertiga.

**Is a baby counted as a passenger?** Please count every child, including babies, so we plan the seating safely.

**Can 7 people travel with luggage in an Innova Crysta?** Seven people with light bags, yes. With heavy luggage, add a second car or take a Tempo Traveller.

**Is the driver included in the seat count?** No. The numbers are passengers; the driver is extra.
