How to Choose the Right Cab: Hatchback, Sedan, SUV or Tempo?

Five people, a mountain of bags, grandma, and a toddler who wants the window seat — and someone just booked a hatchback. Let's make sure that's never you.

The quick answer

Pick your cab on three things: how many people, how much luggage, and how long the drive is. Two people and a weekend bag? A hatchback or sedan is perfect. A family with suitcases heading to the hills? SUV or Innova. A whole group or a wedding party? Tempo Traveller. Match the car to the trip and everyone arrives happy.

Picking by feel, not just numbers

2 people

Hatchback

Nimble, easy on the wallet, perfect for a couple or a quick city hop. Don't expect much boot space — one weekend a couple of soft bags, not a suitcase mountain.

Small family

Sedan

The comfortable middle ground — smooth on the highway, a proper boot, and quiet enough for a nap. The default pick for airport runs and a family of four.

Family + bags

SUV

Higher seat, more room, handles hill roads and rough patches without complaint. When the boot needs to swallow real suitcases, this is your friend.

Long & premium

Innova Crysta

The long-distance king. Captain-comfortable seats, space for elders to stretch, and the ride that makes a 600 km day feel easy. Worth the extra for big trips.

Big group

Tempo Traveller

One vehicle, one driver, the whole gang together — no convoy, no one getting lost. Made for weddings, office outings and pilgrimages.

Three questions that decide it for you

1. How many people — honestly?

Count heads, then count again including the "oh, my cousin is also coming". A car that's technically "5-seater" with five adults and luggage is a squeeze. Leave a little breathing room; nobody enjoys a 5-hour drive with a bag on their lap.

2. How much luggage?

Seats and boot are two different limits. Four people can fit in a sedan — but four people with four big suitcases cannot. If you're carrying real bags, size up to an SUV or Innova. Wedding shopping and hill-station jackets take more room than you think.

3. How long and how rough is the road?

For a 2-hour city or airport run, a hatchback or sedan is plenty. For a 600 km haul to Udaipur or a winding climb to Manali, comfort stops being a luxury — an SUV or Innova Crysta pays you back in a body that isn't aching at the end.

Insider tip

Travelling with elderly parents or a baby? Go one size up. The extra legroom, the higher seat that's easier to get in and out of, and the smoother ride are worth every rupee on a long day.

The classic mistake

Booking the cheapest car to save a few hundred rupees, then spending the whole trip cramped and cranky. The right-sized cab costs a little more and saves the day. When in doubt, tell us your group and bags — we'll suggest the honest fit, not the priciest one.

Frequently asked questions

Is an Innova really worth more than an SUV like Ertiga?

For short trips, an Ertiga-class SUV is great value. For long distances or when comfort matters most — elders, executives, 500 km-plus days — the Innova Crysta's ride and space are worth the extra.

How many suitcases fit in a sedan?

Roughly two to three medium bags plus a couple of small ones. If everyone's carrying a full suitcase, step up to an SUV or Innova so nobody rides with a bag on their knees.

What's best for a big family pilgrimage or wedding?

A Tempo Traveller keeps the whole group together with one driver — far less stress than splitting into multiple cars. Ideal for yatras, weddings and office outings.
