Which Innova should you rent?

"Innova" covers three different cars today, and the right one depends on your group, your route and how much comfort you want to pay for. Here is how we explain it to customers on the phone.

Toyota Innova (classic)

The original boxy Innova, plus the Marazzo and Ertiga in the same price band. Seats seven, carries a family's luggage and costs the least: ₹4,000 for 8 hours in the city or ₹20 per km outstation. Choose it for staff pickups, budget temple tours and short hops where space matters more than refinement.

Innova Crysta

The one most people mean when they say "Innova". Better seats, stronger AC for the back rows and a quieter ride on the highway. From ₹4,400 for 8 hours or ₹25 per km. Innova Crysta rental details.

Innova Hycross

The newest generation, with a roomier cabin and a smooth petrol or hybrid engine. Ideal for corporate guests and anyone who wants a newer car. From ₹5,000 for 8 hours or ₹35 per km. Innova Hycross rental details.
