City Car vs MPV
Choose a vehicle based on passengers and budget
Couples and solo travelers who contact us often jump straight to asking about Avanza prices, when their actual needs would be perfectly served by a city car like the Calya or Sigra. No point paying extra for capacity you will never use. On the flip side, we have had families of five request a city car, seduced by the low price — only to ask for a swap on day two because they could not take the cramped space anymore. The key to choosing between a city car and MPV is really just one thing: count your people and luggage, then be honest with yourself about how comfortable you want to be. The price gap is only IDR 50-100k per day, and that can be the difference between a holiday everyone enjoys and one filled with complaints from the back seat.
