Looking for the best SUV for self drive in Bhubaneswar? Rideez offers five SUV options — from compact crossovers to full-size 7-seaters and a genuine off-roader. Here is which one fits your trip.
Hyundai Venue — The City SUV (₹2,399/day)
The Venue is perfect for people who want SUV height and presence without the bulk. Compact enough for Bhubaneswar’s narrower roads in Old Town and market areas, yet comfortable on highways to Puri. Best for couples and small families who want a step up from a hatchback.
Hyundai Creta — The All-Rounder (₹2,799/day)
The Creta is our most popular SUV rental. Premium interiors, powerful engine, spacious boot. Handles everything from daily city commutes to Golden Triangle road trips. The best balance of comfort, space, and price in the SUV category.
Maruti Ertiga — The Family Mover (₹2,499/day)
The Ertiga seats 7 with a usable third row. It is technically an MPV, not an SUV, but it fills the same need: space for a large family or group. Fuel-efficient for its size. The go-to for temple trips with elderly parents and children.
Kia Carens — The Premium 7-Seater (₹2,999/day)
The Kia Carens offers more legroom and nicer interiors than the Ertiga at ₹500/day more. Better for longer multi-day trips where 7 people need genuine comfort. Ventilated seats, larger infotainment screen, and stronger AC for Odisha’s summers.
Mahindra Thar — The Off-Road Legend (₹3,499/day)
The Thar is in a category of its own. True 4×4, removable roof, diesel torque. Rent this for Simlipal, Daringbadi, or any adventure where the terrain is part of the fun. Not ideal for family comfort — it seats 4 and the ride is firm. But for driving experience, nothing else comes close.
XUV 500 — The Power SUV (₹3,499/day)
The Mahindra XUV 500 combines 7-seat capacity with proper SUV capability. Diesel engine with highway pulling power, higher ground clearance than the Creta, and a commanding road presence. Good for large groups heading to hill stations or wildlife areas.

• City + short trips: Venue
• Highway + multi-day: Creta
