If you're travelling with family or a group, a self-drive 7-seater means one car, your own pace and no driver's schedule to work around. This is what the Suzuki Ertiga 7-seater is, who it suits and what renting it involves. Price and booking are on the Suzuki Ertiga 7-seater page, and the whole range is under self-drive car rental in Guwahati.
What it is
A 2025 model with 7 seats in three rows, a 1.5-litre petrol engine and a manual gearbox. It has climate-control AC and a music system, and FASTag is fitted, so you don't stop to pay cash at toll plazas.
Who it suits
- Families and groups of up to 7 going to Shillong, Cherrapunji or Kaziranga. A 5-day Meghalaya family road trip in a 7-seater and driving yourself to Kaziranga show how those trips run.
- People who drive a manual car. If you're used to one, it's straightforward on the highway and on the hill roads.
Kaziranga is about 220 km of flat highway via Nagaon, usually 4 to 5 hours. Shillong is about 100 km up NH6. The Shillong route guide and the Kaziranga route guide have the roads and stops.
Who should look elsewhere
If you don't drive a manual, or you'd rather not drive the hill roads yourself, a car with a driver is the better fit. Self-drive or car with a driver? compares the two on cost and comfort.
