Car photos are examples to help you understand each type. The actual model, year, seats and options depend on the plan you book, and the travel style groups are a reference only. Trunk videos show the filmed model, year and seat layout.

ROOM FOR YOUR JOURNEY

People and luggage. Leave one space to spare.

After "How many seats?"think "Where will the bags go?"

Watch trunk videos by car
01

Start by counting passengers

Count everyone, including the driver. With children, also check how many child seats you need and which seats can fit them.

Passengers + child seat spots
02

Check suitcases by number and size

Two carry-ons and two large suitcases are very different. Tell the rental company the size and number of strollers or golf bags too.

Suitcases + stroller + golf bags
03

Leave room for last-day shopping

Check the trunk with all seats up. If you must fold seats you need for luggage, compare a bigger car or two cars.

Luggage going out + coming back
5 seats = 5 people + 5 suitcases?

Seat count does not mean luggage capacity. This page does not guarantee a number of suitcases; we recommend checking the actual model and seat layout.

A LITTLE MORE HELP

Choosing a car type? Questions answered

Common questions before booking.

Will I get the car shown in the photo?

Photos on this page are examples. Check whether the plan guarantees a specific model or assigns a car from the same class. Color, year and exact model can vary.

Is a 5-seat compact enough for 4 adults?

It fits by seat count, but large suitcases or a stroller may not fit. Check the actual trunk and seats, and compare a midsize/SUV or minivan too.

Can a 7-8 seater carry a full group and suitcases?

It depends on the model and suitcase size. Using all three rows reduces cargo space, so tell the company your group size and luggage size and number.

How do I choose with child seats and a stroller?

Check which seats can take child seats, how many, and the folded stroller size. Child seat rental and fees vary by plan, so check the options too.

Are hybrids and EVs the same type?

They share a search category but have different power types. If you choose an EV, check charging spots on your route, how to charge and the return rules.

Can anyone rent a 10-seat van?

To drive a 10-seat van on an International Driving Permit, you need category D — category B alone is not enough. Check your license documents and the company's rental conditions before booking. Contact us
