Toyota Hiace vs Staria vs Coaster – Which Vehicle is Right for Your Group?
| Feature | Hyundai Staria | Toyota Hiace | Toyota Coaster |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passengers | 7 | 11 | 16 |
| Luggage bags | 8 to 10 | 16 | 18 to 20 |
| Best for | Families of 5 to 7 | Groups of 8 to 11 | Large groups of 12 to 16 |
| Jeddah to Makkah | SAR 350 | SAR 460 | SAR 1,200 |
| Makkah to Madinah | SAR 580 | SAR 750 | SAR 1,200 |
The Toyota Hiace sits in the middle of our fleet between the Staria family van and the Coaster group bus. Choose the Hiace when your group is too large for a Staria but does not require the full capacity of a Coaster.
For extended families with parents, grandparents, and children where the total headcount reaches 8 to 11, the Hiace is consistently the most practical and cost-effective choice. It keeps the entire family in one vehicle, avoids the coordination of multiple cars, and provides significantly more luggage space than any van option.
