Renting a Ertiga on Self Drive in Pune: Review & Price Guide

Is the Ertiga a good self drive choice?

The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is the most affordable way to move seven people in Pune. It is compact enough for city traffic, frugal on fuel and available with a CNG option for lower running costs.

It is a 7-seater muv with manual transmission and a petrol & cng engine. Daily rentals include 350 km, which covers a Lonavala return trip (130 km) with room to spare.

It works especially well for family trips, group travel, airport transfers, monthly car use. If your plans are mostly short city runs, the daily rate matters more than the size; if you are carrying five or more people and luggage, move up to a larger SUV or MUV.

• Affordable 7-seater MUV
• Petrol and CNG options
• 350 km included per day on daily rentals
• Compact enough for city driving
• Doorstep delivery across Pune

Ertiga specifications and rental terms

What the Ertiga costs in Pune

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga self drive rental starts at ₹3,200 per day with 350 km included. Fuel, tolls and parking are not included, and the refundable security deposit is ₹4,000.

Extra kilometres beyond the daily limit are billed at ₹8 per km. If you return late, the extra-hour charge is ₹250. Weekly and monthly bookings are cheaper per day and are quoted with their own kilometre allowance.

For a two-day booking, the included distance is 700 km. That is enough for Lonavala and back on one day, plus a second day of local driving, without touching the extra-km rate.

Who the Ertiga suits

If you need a car for family trips, group travel, airport transfers, monthly car use, the Ertiga is a sensible fit. Book early for weekends and festival dates, when popular models are usually the first to go.

• Best for family trips, group travel, airport transfers.
• Seats up to 7 people with petrol & cng running costs.
• Manual transmission; confirm the exact variant when booking.
• Includes 350 km per day, enough for a Lonavala return trip.
• Doorstep delivery across Pune with flexible pickup times.

Best road trips from Pune in the Ertiga

The "days needed" column is the minimum rental length to keep the return trip inside the included kilometres, not a recommendation for how long the trip should take. A Lonavala day trip fits inside one day on this car; Goa does not.

For trips that exceed the daily limit, either book an extra day or budget for extra kilometres at ₹8 per km. Tolls, parking and any interstate permit are separate.

How the Ertiga compares

The closest alternatives in the fleet are the Carens and Innova Crysta. Compare the daily rate, seating and transmission before deciding; a slightly higher daily rate can be cheaper overall if it avoids an extra car or an extra day.

You can see live availability and current prices on the fleet page. The rates here are the starting prices for each model and are kept in sync with the fleet data used across the site.
