Chevrolet Tahoe: when your group is 8
The Tahoe is the largest vehicle we rent without a driver and, together with the Tahoe Z71, the only one in our fleet that takes 8 passengers with you at the wheel. It is the natural choice for two families traveling together, a group of friends or a work team. Its size is welcome on the highway and in the trunk, but keep it in mind in the city: in some building and shopping mall parking lots in Medellín, the ramps and spaces are tight.
The Tahoe Z71 is the off-road oriented version, so it is the best choice if a large group is heading to a farm with an unpaved access road. If you were looking for a Suburban, the Tahoe belongs to the same Chevrolet family, in a slightly shorter version that is easier to maneuver. See the Chevrolet collection.
Toyota Prado: the balance between luxury and 4x4
The Prado is one of the most highly regarded SUVs in Colombia for its reliability. It has three rows for 7 passengers, a comfortable cabin for long trips and 4x4 capability for when the road gets tough. We have two versions:
- Prado TXL: the most versatile option for families who combine city, highway and the occasional farm.
- Prado TXL Diesel: the best alternative for long trips. The diesel engine offers good range and pulling power on climbs, which you will notice in the mountains of Antioquia and on the way to the Coffee Region.
Toyota 4Runner: for adventure trips
The 4Runner has a more adventurous character: rugged, tall and built for mixed terrain. It is the SUV we recommend for nature trips, such as the swimming holes of eastern Antioquia or a farm in the countryside. Both versions seat 7 passengers:
- 4Runner SR5: the essential version, practical and tough.
- 4Runner Limited: the best-equipped version, with extra comfort features for anyone who wants the 4Runner's toughness without giving up luxury.

Which one to choose for your trip?
- There are 8 of us: Chevrolet Tahoe or Tahoe Z71.
- Long road trip with the family: Toyota Prado TXL Diesel.
- City, highway and the occasional farm: Toyota Prado TXL.
- Nature and unpaved roads: Toyota 4Runner SR5, or the Limited if you want more comfort.
- Large group that would rather not drive: the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with driver, for 8 passengers.
If your group is 5 people and you will mostly drive in the city, a luxury SUV may be more practical; compare the options in luxury SUVs in Medellín: BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Audi. And if you are still deciding between 7 and 8 seats, read how to choose a 7-seater SUV.
Tips for traveling around Antioquia in a large SUV

- Calculate the tolls on your route: check the rates in tolls in Medellín and Antioquia.
- Ask about parking at your hotel or farm before you arrive, especially if you are driving the Tahoe.
