Cars

Room for the whole family without taking two cars

Most of what runs in this class has a last row, and it is a real row with belts on it. Who sits there decides the trip: children are happy back there as far as Karnal, adults on a long run would rather be in the class above, and getting in at all means the middle row is tipped forward first. Say at the enquiry who is travelling, and you will be told which way round it works before you confirm.

What we run in this class

These are the models this class is made up of, each at its own per kilometre figure. What is confirmed in writing is the class, and what arrives is one of these or a similar one, because the allotment is made a day or two before the trip.

Maruti Ertiga
What this class usually turns out to be. Its last row drops down into the floor rather than folding on to it, which is why the same vehicle goes out as a five seater one day and a seven seater the next.

Kia Carens
The longest of the set, and the extra length is all behind the middle row rather than in front of it.

Maruti XL6
Two separate chairs in the middle instead of a bench, so there is a gap to walk through to the back rather than a seat to be tipped forward and climbed over. Worth asking for when somebody travelling has a bad knee.

Renault Triber
The last row lifts out of the car altogether instead of folding, so it goes out as a five seater with nothing of that row left inside it and comes back as a seven seater when the row is wanted.

Up to 6

From ₹14.00
Mahindra Bolero Neo
Built on a ladder frame with the ground clearance to match, so it is what goes out when the last stretch to the village is not metalled. Its back row faces sideways rather than forward.

Effective 1 August 2026. Models are typical of the class and what arrives is that model or a similar one.

The size question, answered before you book

Right when everybody is going to the same place for the same days, and the party is a family rather than five grown adults. It works with the last row up when what is going back there is children, as far as Karnal or Kurukshetra. When adults have to sit there as far as Haridwar, that is a bigger booking, and it is cheaper to know that now than to find it out in the driveway.

When to take the class above

A full-size MPV seats its last row as a row for adults rather than as a bench children are happy on, so on the trip where grown-ups are sitting at the back for four hours, the extra per kilometre buys them a seat they can stay in.

Full-size MPV

What the rate card commits: The seat figure on the card counts the last row. It is the whole of the seating and it is what this class is booked and priced as, so the headcount you book to is the headcount the vehicle carries. Whether that back row suits the people who will be sitting in it is the separate question, and it is one to settle at the enquiry.
Knee room is one budget, shared: The middle row slides, so the room in the last row is taken off the row in front of it. Somebody has to give it up and it is better decided in the driveway than at Murthal, because once everybody has settled in nobody wants to move.
Getting into the back: On most of this class the middle row has to be tipped forward and the passenger climbs through the gap. It is nothing at all to a child and it is a genuine obstacle to a stiff knee, so tell us who is sitting where and we will allot accordingly.

Nothing is added at the drop that was not on the quotation.

The quotation carries the per kilometre rate and the driver allowance for every calendar day the car is held, and the hour of the pick-up changes neither of them. Toll, state permit and parking are passed through at the receipt value, and they are named on the quotation too, with the figure filled in once the receipts come back.

In the figure you are quoted

The per kilometre rate published for the class you booked, applied to the kilometres the trip actually runs once it is past the 250 km minimum. A shorter trip is charged for the minimum.
The driver allowance for every calendar day the car is held, including the day it comes back, whether it moves that day or not.
The same per kilometre rate whatever the hour. A pick-up at four in the morning is charged exactly as one at noon.
GST at the rate applicable to passenger road transport, shown as its own line on the quotation and again on the invoice rather than folded into the fare.

Passed through at the receipt value

Toll and state entry tax, at the receipt value. We do not mark it up.
State permit charges where a route crosses into a state the vehicle needs a permit for.
Parking, where the airport or the hotel charges for it.
Hill charges and green tax where a state levies one.

If a charge is not on the quotation you were sent, it does not appear on the invoice.

Asked about this class

The ones the office answers on the phone most days. If yours is not here, ring and ask, and you will get the same answer as you would get on this page.

Will a grown-up be all right in the last row as far as Haridwar?

As far as Karnal or Kurukshetra nobody minds. Over a few hours the last row in this class is knees-up, and the only way to make it bearable is for the middle row to give up its slide, which means somebody spends the trip with their own seat pushed forward. If the whole party is adults, we would rather quote you the class above and tell you why than take the booking and let you discover it past Ambala.

The last row is a long way from the dashboard. Does it get cool air?

On most of what runs in this class the cool air for the back comes out of vents in the roof lining with their own fan control, and it is worth asking the driver to put it on before you set off rather than an hour into the heat. If you are travelling in June with somebody who feels it, say so when you enquire and we will allot a vehicle with rear vents.

Do the seats in the last row have belts?

Where the row faces forward, yes, and the driver will ask for them to be worn. Some vehicles in this class seat the back row sideways instead, which is legal and fine into town and is not what we would put you in for a highway run. If that is what is free on your date you will be told before you confirm, not at the gate.
