There are some fantastic deals for car hire out there at the moment. Have you thought if you and your luggage will fit into the vehicle? It’s all very well if it’s a nice car and the best price you’ve seen, but if your bags are not going to fit; this could spell disaster for your holiday!
The lure of that cheap car hire price can sometimes far outweigh any thought for how luggage will fit into the vehicle. While most car hire companies can not guarantee the exact make and model of the vehicle that you will receive, most of them have vehicle groups with an example to help you decide.
It’s essential to choose your hire car carefully so have a read of these things to consider about the type of vehicle that you hire:
- Are there enough doors? For example, if you have young children that you need to assist out of the vehicle, is a three door vehicle sufficient?
- How large is the vehicle’s boot? If all of the seats in the vehicle will be taken, how many cases will you need to place in the boot?
- How tall is the designated driver? Will they be comfortable driving a small car or are they used to driving a car with lots more space inside?
- Most car hire companies will happily discuss a suitable vehicle group with you and you can also visit the car manufacturer’s website to get more information on vehicle specifications.
