The cars, compared

Which car, for which journey.

Not a buyer’s comparison — a traveller’s. How many of you, how many cases, what hour, what road; and which of the house’s cars answers it.

Six classes, drawn to their real dimensions, and the honest differences between them. The figures for each are on the rate card; the car that comes is the class you confirm, never "or similar".

The family MPV against the SUV that is felt arriving — and which one the monsoon prefers. The whole answer →

Camry or Innova for the airport?

A saloon that sits low and quiet, or the MPV that swallows the cases. The whole answer →

How the house decides when you leave it to us

Say "no preference" on the reservation and the house reads the journey: the number of guests and cases, the hour, the road, the occasion. Four guests and three cases to the airport is a Crysta or a Hycross; six and their luggage a Carnival; a dinner in a saloon the Camry; a plateau above Satara in the rains the Fortuner. You are told which car before you confirm, and the class confirmed is the class that comes.

Reserve, and let the house chooseOr name the class — the tiles on the reservation show every car at its true size.

Questions guests ask

Which car is best for a family of four with luggage in Mumbai?
The Innova Crysta or the Innova Hycross: four guests behind the sarathi and three large cases. For six guests and their luggage, the Kia Carnival.
Which car is quietest?
The Camry Hybrid at speed, the Innova Hycross at a signal — both hybrids, silent when the city stops. The diesel Crysta and Fortuner are sure-footed rather than silent.
Do you send 'or similar'?
No. The class you confirm is the class that comes. If the house cannot send it, it tells you before you confirm, not at the door.
Where are the fares?
On the rate card — one written figure per class, tolls, parking and GST inside it. Nothing is priced on this page because the figure is written to you, not advertised.
