Toyota Innova on self drive hire

Who the Innova suits

Wedding parties, airport transfers, multi-day tours, and any group of six or seven with real luggage.

What it is like to drive here

It is the most settled vehicle we keep on a highway — heavy, quiet at speed and comfortable over long distances in a way the hatchbacks are not. The diesel pulls from low revs, which suits a loaded vehicle on the climbs inland. In town it is the biggest thing we hand over, so allow for the length when parking, and think ahead on the narrow temple streets.

• The best long-distance comfort in the fleet, loaded or empty
• A third row adults can sit in for hours
• Boot space for a full group's luggage

Questions about the Innova

Can I hire an Innova with a driver?

Yes. Self drive and with a driver are both possible — for airport runs at odd hours and for multi-day tours most people take a driver. Tell us which you want when you enquire and the rate is quoted accordingly.

Is the Innova used for weddings?

It is the usual choice for the family vehicles alongside a decorated car for the couple. Muhurtham dates go months ahead, so book early — see our wedding cars page for how that works.

Is it worth it for a trip inside the district?

Only if you need the seats or the luggage space. For four people staying inside Kanyakumari district a hatchback costs less to hire and less to fuel. The Innova earns its rate on distance, on load, and on comfort over a long day.
