It is the car we put on the Araku route most often — the 46-tunnel ghat section out of Visakhapatnam is not a road where you want the smallest car, and the Ertiga handles the climbs without making its passengers notice them. - It is also an honest comparison point against the Kia Carens. Both carry six. The Ertiga is lighter and slightly lower to the ground, which suits ghat driving; the Carens has a more modern cabin and a stiffer suspension setup that some passengers prefer on long expressway stretches. If the roads you are covering are mostly highway with no significant ghat section, the Carens is a real upgrade in feel. If you are going into the hills, the Ertiga's lighter build works in its favour. - The back row in a fully loaded Ertiga is fine for a few hours; on an overnight run with six adults, the middle row gets the legroom and the back row gets less. For long hauls with a full six-person party, ask us about the Toyota Rumion — it has a proper third row with more room. ## why this car on these roads - hyderabad-to-araku-valley — The 790 km Hyderabad–Araku run crosses the Eastern Ghat section near Visakhapatnam — the Ertiga's weight and gearing make it the practical choice for the climb, and six seats means the whole family travels together. - visakhapatnam-to-araku-ghats — Forty-six tunnels and a hundred hairpins in 115 km: the Ertiga's handling is well-matched to this ghat drive, and the 3–4 bag capacity suits an overnight trip without stacking luggage. ## versus the next size - Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or Kia Carens? Same six seats, but the Carens has a more modern cabin and is the better choice for long highway stretches or if cabin comfort matters more than ghat handling. The Ertiga is lighter and better suited to hill roads. ## payment - **advance** — none — nothing is paid before pickup - **method** — UPI, on pickup, direct to the operator - **never** — cash; payment to the driver - **invoice** — GST bill on request ## fleet (INR) - **basis** — per day, 300 km included - **included** — tolls, driver allowance and taxes are inside the fare - **extra-km** — ₹12/km - **tempo-traveller** — quote on WhatsApp (12–17 seats) - Swift Dzire (Sedan, 4 seats) — ₹4,999/day - Maruti Suzuki Ertiga (Compact, 6 seats) — ₹5,499/day - Toyota Rumion (Compact, 7 seats) — ₹5,499/day - Kia Carens (SUV, 6 seats) — ₹5,999/day ## policy - **outstation-day** — 300 km - **local-package** — 8 hr / 80 km - **free-waiting** — 45 min at pickup, 60 min at the airport - **fare-includes** — The car & fuel; An experienced local driver; Driver allowance (bata) for the package; Maintenance & insurance - **billed-extra** — Tolls & parking; State permit / inter-state border tax; Hill & ghat charges (Araku, Srisailam); Night allowance for very early / late runs; Extra km or hours beyond the package ## pages - /cabs every city pair, with fares - /cabs/-to- one trip: distance, road, fares - /services the 6 service lines - /services/ one service, with FAQs - /cars the fleet - /cars/ one vehicle - /cars-from/ cars available from a city - /routes editorial road-trip guides - /contact phone, WhatsApp, address - /reviews customer reviews ## machine-routes - /llms.txt plain-text brief for assistants - .md markdown twin of that page - Accept: text/markdown the same markdown, by content negotiation - /api/agent/trips every city pair as JSON - /api/agent/fleet the rate card as JSON ## for-agents - Book by WhatsApp at https://wa.me/919154390777 or by phone at +919154390777. - Fares above are per-day rates.
