Planning a family trip, a group road trip, a wedding transfer, or a pilgrimage tour from Vijayawada? You need a 7 seater car — and you deserve one that is clean, well-maintained, fully air-conditioned, and driven by you, on your schedule, without a stranger behind the wheel.
At Aman Self Drive Car Rentals, Vijayawada, we have the best 7 seater fleet in the city — the Toyota Innova Crysta, Kia Carens, Ertiga CNG, and Mahindra Marazzo — all available for self-drive rental. Every car is sanitised, fully insured, and handed over with a full fuel tank. No hidden charges, no surprise fees, and no security deposit for verified customers.
This guide covers everything you need to know: which 7 seater to choose, exact prices, the best group road trips from Vijayawada, and how to book in 5 minutes on WhatsApp.
Why Rent a 7 Seater Car Instead of Booking Multiple Cabs?
Every time you travel in a group of 5 or more people, you face the same problem: squeeze uncomfortably into two 5-seater cabs, pay double the fare, travel separately, and lose the entire fun of being together. There is a much better solution — and most people discover it only after one too many split-group trips.
2 × Ola/Uber cabs = ₹1,400–₹2,000 (one-way only, surge pricing, separate rides)
1 × Ertiga CNG self drive for 24 hrs = ₹3,500 — all 7 together, 400 km included, your schedule, your music, one vehicle.
The 7 seater costs less per person and gives you infinitely more freedom. Split ₹3,500 by 7 = ₹500 per person for the entire day.
Family Trips & Outstation
Parents, grandparents, kids — everyone travels together in one comfortable AC cabin. No splitting up. No coordinating two drivers. One car, one family, one great trip.
Temple & Pilgrimage Tours
Tirupati, Srisailam, Amaravathi, Kanaka Durga — pilgrimages from Vijayawada are better when the whole family travels together in an air-conditioned 7 seater.
Weddings & Events
Transferring guests, family members, or the wedding party between venues in Vijayawada. A well-presented Innova Crysta or Carens makes every arrival impressive.
Friends' Road Trips
A group of 6–7 friends on a weekend drive to Vizag, Hyderabad, or the coast. The Carens or Ertiga handles everyone's luggage and every long highway hour with ease.
Corporate Outings & Team Travel
Moving a team to a client site, an offsite event, or an airport transfer — a 7 seater from Aman is professional, comfortable, and far more cost-effective than booking multiple cabs.
Airport Transfers
Gannavaram Airport is 15 km from Vijayawada city. A 7 seater takes the whole family and all the luggage in one comfortable ride. No second car, no lost bags, no stress.
Our 7 Seater Fleet — Detailed Guide
Aman Self Drive Vijayawada offers four outstanding 7 seater options. Here is everything you need to know about each one to make the right choice for your trip.
Toyota Innova Crysta — India's Most Trusted 7 Seater
The Toyota Innova Crysta is not just India's most popular 7 seater — it is a legend. For over 20 years, the Innova nameplate has dominated Indian highways as the go-to vehicle for families, corporate groups, and long-distance travellers. The reason is simple: it is supremely comfortable, brutally reliable, and genuinely spacious for all three rows of passengers.
The Crysta's 2.4-litre diesel engine produces 148 bhp and a massive 343 Nm of torque — which means even with 7 adults and a boot full of luggage on a 300 km highway run, it never feels strained. The suspension is tuned for Indian roads, the AC is powerful enough to cool all three rows quickly, and the build quality is the stuff of legend. This is the car that makes 6-hour road trips feel like 3 hours.
- Three full rows of seating — genuinely comfortable for adults in all three rows
- Massive 300-litre boot — fits 3 large suitcases and multiple travel bags
- 2.4L diesel engine — 343 Nm means effortless overtaking even fully loaded
- Toyota reliability — the benchmark for long-distance durability in India
- Powerful, fast-cooling AC — chills all three rows within minutes
- High ground clearance — handles speed bumps, rough village roads and ghats well
- Available with Aman in Vijayawada with 200 kms/12hrs or 400 kms/24hrs
Kia Carens — The Modern Family MPV with Premium Features
The Kia Carens is the freshest, most feature-loaded 7 seater in our fleet — and our most booked group car in Vijayawada. Launched in 2022 and still looking contemporary in 2026, the Carens offers something the Innova Crysta cannot: a genuinely modern interior with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and the kind of premium cabin quality you would expect in a European car.
The Carens is also the most versatile in our 7-seater lineup — available with petrol, diesel, and even CNG engines, with a choice of manual or automatic gearbox. The 1.5L diesel variant is the sweet spot for outstation travel: fuel-efficient, torquey, and comfortable on highway runs. The wheelbase of 2,780mm — the longest in its class — means rear passengers get exceptional legroom that rivals even the Innova.
- 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Panoramic sunroof — a major hit on road trips with friends or family
- Longest wheelbase in class — exceptional rear legroom for all passengers
- Ventilated front seats — a true luxury feature at this price range
- 6-speed automatic option available — smooth city and highway driving
- Class-best diesel fuel efficiency — ideal for long outstation runs
- ADAS safety features — forward collision warning, lane-keep assist
Maruti Suzuki Ertiga CNG — The Budget-Friendly Group Traveller
If your group is looking for the most fuel-efficient and budget-friendly 7 seater in Vijayawada, the Maruti Ertiga CNG is your answer. With CNG fuel costs at a fraction of petrol or diesel, the Ertiga CNG genuinely delivers the lowest running cost of any 7 seater on the market — making it the go-to choice for large families who want to travel together without burning a hole in their pocket.
The Ertiga is also one of the easiest 7 seaters to drive — lighter and more nimble than the Innova or Carens, with precise steering and a compact turning radius that makes it surprisingly manageable even in Vijayawada's busy city traffic. For families with first-time self-drive renters or those unfamiliar with large vehicles, the Ertiga is the most forgiving choice in our 7-seater fleet.
- Factory-fitted CNG — safe, certified and fuel-efficient straight from the manufacturer
- ~26 km/kg CNG mileage — dramatically lower fuel costs for long day trips
- Light and easy to drive — perfect for renters not accustomed to large MPVs
- 7 proper seats — comfortable for adults across all three rows for short-to-medium distances
- Maruti Suzuki build quality — known for low maintenance and outstanding reliability
- Compact enough for Vijayawada city parking and narrow approach roads to temples
Mahindra Marazzo — The Comfort-First MPV for Smooth Long Drives
The Mahindra Marazzo is the most underrated 7 seater in India — and one of the best-kept secrets in the MPV segment. Inspired by shark-fin aerodynamics and engineered with a focus on ride quality and passenger comfort, the Marazzo offers a genuinely car-like, smooth driving experience that is rare among large 7-seater MPVs. Many passengers who travel in the Marazzo for the first time are surprised by how different it feels from the Innova — softer, quieter, and more relaxed at highway speeds.
The Marazzo's 1.5L diesel engine produces 122 bhp and 300 Nm, with a refined character that minimises cabin noise and vibration on long highway runs. The captain seats in the middle row are wider and more comfortable than standard bench seats, and the third-row access is better than most competitors. If your priority is passenger comfort on a long road trip, the Marazzo is an excellent choice.
- Shark-fin inspired aerodynamics — reduced wind noise at highway speeds
- Captain seats in the middle row — wider, more comfortable than regular MPV bench seats
- Smoothest ride quality in our 7-seater fleet — feels more like a crossover than an MPV
- 300 Nm diesel torque — strong performance fully loaded on highways and ghats
- 15–17 kmpl on highways — excellent fuel efficiency for a 7-seater diesel
- Lower cabin noise compared to Innova — genuinely quieter at 100 kmph on open roads

Best Group Road Trips from Vijayawada in a 7 Seater
These are the routes where a 7 seater truly earns its keep — comfortable, economical per person, and perfect for keeping the whole group together:
🛕 Vijayawada → Tirupati — The Family Pilgrimage Run
One of the most popular outstation routes from Vijayawada. The 340 km drive through beautiful Andhra Pradesh countryside ends at India's most visited temple. In a 7-seater, the whole family travels together in AC comfort and arrives refreshed for darshan. The Innova Crysta's 343 Nm diesel engine handles the Tirumala ghat roads effortlessly with a full load of 7 passengers.
🌊 Vijayawada → Vizag — The Great Andhra Coast Drive
NH16 from Vijayawada to Visakhapatnam is one of South India's finest road trip routes — smooth, wide, and spectacular. With a Kia Carens or Marazzo, your group of 6–7 travels in genuine comfort across 350 km of coastal Andhra, passing Eluru, Rajamahendravaram, Kakinada, and the Godavari River bridge before arriving at Vizag's beautiful beaches. One-way drop available at Aman's Vizag branch.
🏛️ Vijayawada → Hyderabad — The City Escape Weekend
At just 270 km via NH65, Hyderabad is a perfect 2-day trip from Vijayawada for a group. Charminar, Golconda Fort, Ramoji Film City, the best biryani in India — split between 6–7 people, the entire trip including car, fuel, food, and entry tickets becomes very affordable. The Kia Carens automatic makes the 270 km run feel effortless.
⛩️ Vijayawada → Srisailam — Forest, Dam & Jyotirlinga
The 260 km journey to Srisailam passes through the dramatic Nagarjunasagar–Srisailam Tiger Reserve — one of India's most scenic forest drives. Families and pilgrims in a well-maintained Innova Crysta can comfortably cover the route, experience the Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga temple, the massive dam, and boat rides on the Krishna River, all in a single-day trip.
🏖️ Vijayawada → Machilipatnam + Manginapudi — The Quick Beach Day
Just 80 km away, Machilipatnam's coast is perfect for a one-day family beach outing — and the Ertiga CNG makes this the most economical trip possible. With CNG fuel costs, a full day trip for 7 people including fuel barely crosses ₹500 in running costs. Add ₹3,500 for the car and split by 7 — it's ₹500 per person for the entire day including the beach.
7 Smart Tips for Renting a 7 Seater in Vijayawada
Book at Least 2–3 Days Early
7 seaters — especially the Innova Crysta and Kia Carens — are in high demand on weekends and holidays. WhatsApp Aman at +91 95813 78999 well in advance to secure your preferred car and date.
Plan Fuel Stops on Long Routes
For routes beyond 200 km, identify fuel pumps in advance. CNG stations are fewer on outstation routes — the Ertiga CNG is best kept for city and short-distance trips under 150 km.
Check Boot Space vs Luggage
The Innova Crysta (300L boot) handles 3 large suitcases easily. The Carens and Ertiga have smaller boots — for heavy-luggage trips with 7 people, the Innova is the smart choice.
Download Offline Maps Before Leaving
Forest zones near Srisailam and Nallamala have poor mobile signal. Download Google Maps offline for your route before you leave Vijayawada to avoid navigation issues mid-journey.
Senior-Friendly Car: Innova or Marazzo
If your group includes elderly passengers, choose the Innova Crysta or Marazzo — both have higher, easier-to-access seats, more cabin space, and the smoothest ride quality in our fleet.
Book 24 hrs for Maximum Value
The 24-hour plan includes 400 km — more than enough for most outstation trips. Booking for 24 hours gives you flexibility on timing without paying extra hours. Best value plan by far.

Frequently Asked Questions — 7 Seater Car Rental Vijayawada
Can I really seat 7 adults comfortably in all these cars?
Yes — all four cars are genuine 7-seaters with proper adult-sized seats in all three rows. For very long trips (300+ km), we recommend the Innova Crysta or Marazzo which offer the most space and ride comfort for rear passengers. The Carens and Ertiga are better suited for short to medium trips with 7 adults fully loaded.
Which 7 seater should I book for a Tirupati trip?
The Toyota Innova Crysta is our strong recommendation for Tirupati. Its 2.4L diesel engine handles the Tirumala ghat roads effortlessly with a full load. The 300-litre boot accommodates all the luggage comfortably. It is also the most comfortable car for elderly passengers in your group.
Is the Ertiga CNG suitable for outstation trips like Hyderabad?
The Ertiga CNG is best suited for trips within 150 km of Vijayawada where CNG filling stations are reliably available. For Hyderabad (270 km) or Vizag (350 km), we recommend the Kia Carens or Innova Crysta diesel — better range, no CNG availability concerns, and more comfortable at higher distances.
Do I need a special licence to drive a 7 seater?
No special licence is needed. A standard LMV (Light Motor Vehicle) licence — the same one you use to drive any car — is sufficient for all 7-seater vehicles in our fleet. Just ensure your licence is valid and carries the LMV endorsement.
Can I take the 7 seater to another state?
Yes. Our 7-seater fleet is cleared for inter-state travel to Telangana (Hyderabad) and Karnataka (Bidar). For routes to Tamil Nadu, Odisha, or beyond, please confirm with us at the time of booking. All vehicles carry all-India permits.
Can I book a 7 seater for a wedding in Vijayawada?
Absolutely — wedding bookings are one of our most common 7-seater use cases. The Innova Crysta is the most popular choice for wedding guest transfers and family transport. For pre-wedding shoots or baraat arrangements, call us to discuss custom requirements and rates.
What happens if I exceed the kilometre limit?
Extra kilometres beyond the plan (200 km/12hrs or 400 km/24hrs) are charged at ₹11–₹12 per km, depending on the car. This is calculated from the odometer at pickup and return. There are no other hidden charges — it's completely transparent.
