Group of 6 to 7 people
Outstation vehicle for 6 to 7 people from Bangalore
Six is the awkward number. It is one too many for a sedan, and it is the smallest group where the seating layout genuinely matters — in a six-seater everyone has a proper seat, in a five-seater with a sixth squeezed in somebody is uncomfortable for the entire journey. The Ertiga is the honest answer for this group size and the entry point to everything on this site. The reason to spend more on a ten-seater Urbania is not the seats, which you do not need, but the boot: six people on a three-day trip carry more luggage than an Ertiga's third row leaves space for.
Vehicles that fit 6 to 7 people
Ertiga
The smallest vehicle on this site, and the entry point for group travel. Below six people a sedan is cheaper; at six the Ertiga is the only vehicle where nobody sits sideways.
Urbania 10
Ten pushback seats and a boot that swallows a family's luggage. The version to pick when the group is small enough that everyone wants to recline.
Cost per person at this group size
Round-trip fare divided by 7 paying passengers — the top of this band, which is where the per-head cost is best. Fill fewer seats and each person pays more.

How to choose
The practical test for this group size: if everyone is carrying a cabin bag, take the Ertiga. If everyone is carrying a full suitcase, look at the ten-seater Urbania, because the alternative is somebody's bag on somebody's lap for five hours.
