Which Cab Type Fits Your Trip
Best Cab Service in Delhi
This page exists to answer one specific question: which cab category should you actually book? A hatchback that is perfect for a solo Connaught Place ride is the wrong choice for a five-person airport run with luggage. The comparison below goes through seating, luggage space and the trip each category suits best, so the choice is made before booking rather than after a cramped ride.
Overview
Who This Comparison Is For
This page is for anyone unsure which cab category to pick — a solo traveller deciding between a hatchback and a sedan, a family working out whether an Ertiga or an Innova Crysta fits their luggage, or a group of colleagues deciding if two sedans or one tempo traveller makes more sense for an offsite. The comparison below is organised by vehicle type rather than by trip type, so it works whether the ride is local, an airport run, or the start of an outstation trip.

Cab Type Comparison
Hatchback
Best for one or two passengers with light luggage on a short city ride. The cheapest category, but boot space is tight for more than a small bag or two.
Sedan
Comfortable for two to three passengers with a couple of medium bags — the usual choice for a business trip, an airport drop, or a point-to-point ride across Delhi.
Ertiga
Seats up to six and carries more luggage than a sedan without stepping up to a full SUV — a practical middle option for a small family or a short group trip.
Innova Crysta
The standard choice for a family of five to six with full luggage, or for an outstation trip where comfort over several hours matters more than fuel cost.
Innova Hycross
A newer, more spacious version of the Innova category, suited to the same family and outstation use cases with extra cabin room.
Tempo Traveller
Seats 12 to 26 depending on configuration — the right choice for a larger group trip or office offsite where splitting into multiple cars would be inconvenient.

Fare
What Affects the Cab Fare
Cab fare depends mainly on the category you choose, along with total distance, trip type (local, one-way or round trip), pickup timing and — where actually applicable on a route — toll, parking or night charges. A bigger category such as Innova or Tempo Traveller costs more than a hatchback or sedan on the same route, which is the main trade-off this comparison is meant to help with.

FAQs
Best Cab Service in Delhi — FAQs
Which cab category is best for a family trip in Delhi?
Ertiga or Innova Crysta usually work well for families needing extra seating and luggage space, since both carry more bags than a sedan without stepping up to a full tempo traveller.
What is the difference between Innova Crysta and Innova Hycross?
Both seat a similar number of passengers and suit the same family and outstation use cases — Innova Hycross is the newer version with a more spacious cabin, while Innova Crysta remains a widely available, familiar option.
When does a tempo traveller make more sense than two sedans?
For a group of eight or more travelling together, a single tempo traveller usually works out simpler and keeps everyone in one vehicle instead of splitting into two or three separate cars.
Can I choose a specific cab type before booking?
Yes, cab category (Hatchback, Sedan, Ertiga, Innova Crysta, Innova Hycross or Tempo Traveller) can be selected as part of the booking flow, for local, airport and outstation trips alike.
Is the same comparison useful for outstation trips too?
Yes, the seating and luggage guidance above applies whether the trip stays inside Delhi or heads out of the city — an SUV or Innova is generally the safer choice once the trip runs more than a couple of hours.
Do cabs pick up outside Delhi city limits too?
Yes, pickup is also supported in Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad through their own dedicated service pages.
How is the cab fare calculated?
Fare depends on the cab category, distance, trip type and applicable toll, parking or night charges, calculated through the live booking flow.
Are tempo travellers available for group cab bookings?
Yes, 12, 15, 20 and 26 seater tempo traveller options are available for larger groups, subject to availability at the time of booking.
