Vehicles, passengers and luggage

Which vehicle size do you need for passengers and luggage?

Vehicle choice depends on more than passenger count. Large suitcases, cabin bags, strollers, child seats and special luggage all use additional space. This guide explains when to choose a Car, SUV or Minibus.

✓ All transfers are private — no shared passengers and no extra stops

Car, SUV or Minibus: which one fits?

The figures below are practical guidelines. The complete passenger-and-luggage combination is what matters. Exact make and model may vary, while the vehicle class and required space are confirmed before travel.

Car

Typically for 1–3 travellers with standard luggage

A Car is suitable for solo travellers, couples or up to three passengers with moderate luggage. Three adults with three large suitcases and cabin bags should be checked in advance.

Typical combination: one or two large suitcases plus cabin luggage. Oversized hard-shell cases or extra bags may require an SUV.

✓ideal for one or two travellers
✓up to three when luggage allows
✓suitable for standard holiday luggage
✓not ideal for several strollers or oversized cases

SUV / Van

Typically for families, 3–5 travellers or extra luggage

An SUV or Van provides more passenger and luggage space than a standard Car. It is often the better choice for families, strollers, child seats or several large suitcases.

Five passenger seats and five large suitcases do not automatically fit at the same time. Full passenger and luggage details are required.

✓more room for families
✓suitable for a child or infant seat
✓practical with a stroller
✓recommended for several large suitcases

Minibus

For larger families, groups and substantial luggage

A Minibus is the most comfortable option for groups, several children, multiple child seats, strollers or substantial luggage. Exact capacity depends on seating layout and the assigned vehicle.

All luggage must still be declared. The number of seats visible in a photograph does not automatically represent bookable capacity.

✓suitable for larger families and groups
✓more room for several suitcases
✓suitable for strollers and multiple child seats
✓more comfortable on long transfer routes

Luggage

What counts when planning luggage space?

Large suitcases are not the only items that use space. List every luggage type so the vehicle can be planned correctly.

✓ large checked or hard-shell suitcases
✓ cabin cases and hand luggage
✓ backpacks and additional bags
✓ stroller or buggy
✓ child and infant seats
✓ wheelchair or walking aid
✓ golf, diving or sports equipment
✓ additional shopping on the return transfer

Passenger and luggage capacity cannot be calculated separately

A vehicle may carry many passengers or a large amount of luggage, but not automatically both maximums at the same time. An SUV may seat five travellers but may not hold five large suitcases, several cabin bags and a stroller. We therefore confirm the full combination before booking.

Child seats and strollers require additional space

Each child or infant seat occupies one full passenger seat. A folded stroller can use as much luggage space as a large suitcase. Send the child’s age and weight and describe the stroller size.

Safety

Passenger seating and seat belts

Seating is planned according to passenger count, luggage and child seats. Passenger seats used for the transfer are equipped with seat belts. A larger vehicle may be required when several children or seats are travelling.

Important

Send a luggage photo when unsure

When you are uncertain whether a Car or SUV is sufficient, send a photograph of the suitcases, cabin bags and stroller through WhatsApp. A photograph is often more reliable than a number and helps avoid arranging a larger vehicle at the airport.
