Hatchback, sedan, SUV or tempo: choosing the right cab
Picking the wrong size car is the most common booking mistake. Here is how many people and bags each vehicle class actually takes on a long drive.
Seat counts on paper and comfort on a six-hour drive are two different things. This is what each class in our fleet realistically carries.
Hatchback — WagonR, Celerio
Four passengers, one large bag. Best for short city runs and airport drops for one or two people. On a highway trip with four adults and luggage it will feel tight; step up to a sedan.
Sedan — Dzire, Etios, Aura
Four passengers, two large bags. The default choice for intercity drops. Three adults in the back is legal but only comfortable for shorter runs. Two adults plus luggage is where a sedan is at its best.
SUV — Ertiga, Innova, Xylo
Six to seven passengers, four large bags. If you have more than four people, or four people with a lot of luggage, this is the honest answer. Higher seating also makes hill and rural roads much easier.
Tempo traveller
Twelve to seventeen passengers. Family functions, group pilgrimages and corporate outings. Everyone travels together with the luggage, which is almost always cheaper and simpler than two smaller cars.
A simple rule
Count your passengers, then count your bags. If bags outnumber passengers, move up one class. On multi-day trips, move up one class regardless — you will be living in that car.
What is the same in every vehicle
Air conditioning, a live GPS, daily cleaning and a police-verified driver. The class you pick changes the space, not the standard.

Frequently asked
How many people fit in a sedan taxi?+
Four passengers with two large bags. Three adults in the rear seat works for short runs but a six or seven seat SUV is more comfortable on long journeys.
When should I book a tempo traveller?+
For groups of eight or more, or any group that wants to travel together with luggage. It is usually cheaper and simpler than booking two smaller cars.
Do all vehicles have air conditioning?+
Yes. Every vehicle in the fleet is air conditioned, GPS tracked, cleaned daily and driven by a police-verified driver.
