Overview
Matching Cab Category to Trip Type
A hatchback is the lightest, most affordable option for one or two passengers with minimal luggage — a quick metro-adjacent transfer or a short local errand. A sedan adds boot space and a smoother ride for two to four passengers without much extra cost.
Once luggage or headcount grows, an SUV or Innova is the more sensible category: more boot room, more legroom, and a car that holds up better on a long outstation stretch. For a full office group or a wedding party travelling together, a tempo traveller keeps everyone in one vehicle instead of splitting across cars.
CablyCab shows all of these categories side by side in the booking flow with the live fare for each, so the comparison happens before you commit rather than after a driver already shows up in the wrong car.

Vehicle Choice
A Quick Way to Decide
If the group fits in a sedan comfortably with the luggage you're carrying, start there. If you're weighing whether an SUV is worth the extra cost, it usually is once a third bag or a third passenger enters the picture.

What Changes the Fare Between Categories
Vehicle category is the single biggest fare driver, followed by trip type (one-way versus round trip) and travel date. Comparing categories in the same booking flow keeps this an apples-to-apples decision.
