How to choose the right vehicle
Hatchback vs sedan
Both seat 2–4. A hatchback is the budget pick for couples and short transfers; a sedan adds boot space and a smoother ride, which matters on airport runs with luggage.
When to choose an SUV or Innova
For families of four to six, extra luggage, or any hill and North Sikkim route, an SUV, Innova or Innova Crysta is worth it — more space, higher ground clearance and a steadier ride on steep, winding roads. The Innova Crysta is the top pick for long high-altitude journeys.
Tempo Traveller for groups
For larger groups and extended families, a Tempo Traveller keeps everyone together. The 12-seater is the popular hill configuration; 9- and 17-seater options exist subject to availability.
