Innova Crysta and Hycross on Rent in Goa

An Innova is the car most families ask for at Goa's airports and stations, and for a plain reason: six people and their suitcases fit in one car, so nobody waits for a second taxi at 1 am outside Dabolim. The high seat and wide doors suit grandparents, the boot takes the bags, and the Innova is unbothered by the broken village roads between the highway and the beach. We keep both the Innova Crysta and the newer Innova Hycross, and you can book either for self drive.

Who the Innova Suits

• Families of five or six with luggage: the usual Innova booking. Two adults, children and grandparents, plus the bags, from the airport to the resort in one car.
• Wedding groups: a shuttle between the hotel, the church or venue and the reception, with room for the outfits and the gifts. If nobody in the party should be driving after the reception, ask us about a driver when you book.
• Three couples travelling together: cheaper than two cars, and the day trips to South Goa or Old Goa happen in one conversation.
• Older parents: the step is higher than a hatchback but the door opening is tall and the seat is upright, which many older passengers find easier than folding into a low car.

Crysta or Hycross: Which Innova Should I Pick?

The Innova Crysta is the one most people picture: a solid, rear wheel drive MPV with a diesel option, plenty of pull on the ghat road towards Dudhsagar, and a manual gearbox if you prefer one. It is the car to choose when you want the diesel, a manual, or simply the lower rate on a given set of dates.

The Innova Hycross is the newer car: automatic only, a petrol hybrid that runs quietly in the stop and start traffic of Calangute and Mapusa, a flatter floor and a more car-like drive. Families with a baby asleep in the back tend to prefer it, and so do people who will be in and out of town traffic every day. It is often the first 7 seater to book in December, so ask early.

Both have seven seats. With every seat in use, each takes a few cabin bags behind the third row rather than a full set of suitcases; fold part of the third row and the boot becomes generous. If you are six people with six large suitcases, tell us, because the honest answer may be the Innova plus a hatchback, or the Fortuner.

Where People Drive the Innova

Can I Get a Driver With the Innova?

This page is for self drive: you collect the Innova, drive it for your dates and hand it back. If you need a driver for a wedding day or a late arrival, ask us when you book and we will tell you what we can arrange for your dates.

What Is Included

• Free delivery and collection anywhere in Goa, including both airports and the railway stations.
• Unlimited kilometres inside Goa. The car cannot leave Goa; the permit does not cover Maharashtra or Karnataka.
• Fuel is extra: the car goes out at a set level and comes back at the same level.
• Every driver must be 21 or older with a valid licence, seen at handover, and one government photo ID (Aadhaar, voter ID, PAN or passport).
• The refundable deposit is confirmed on the call and returned within 24 to 48 hours of check in, by UPI or bank transfer.
• No cancellation charge with 24 hours notice. A 24 x 7 help line.

Booking an Innova for the 2026 to 2027 Season

From roughly November 2026 to February 2027 the 7 seaters are the first category to run out, and over Christmas and New Year week the Innovas go before the Ertiga and Carens. If your dates fall between about 18 December and 4 January, send them by mid November. For a December wedding, book the car before the hotel; our wedding car guide explains why.
