Does Size Matter?
Do you think size matters? Any women travelling around the world will answer, yes, size matters. But realistically, the size of your rental car only matters if you have underestimated how much room you require in the hire car. As long as you take into consideration the number of passengers travelling along with the amount of room needed for luggage, then you should be fine.
When considering the room for luggage, remember that most holidaymakers only have their luggage in the vehicle for a limited time. Meaning they arrive at the airport and drive straight to their accommodation. This means that booking a rental car with heaps of luggage space may not be necessary. Of course the drive to your accommodation maybe a little bit tight and the passengers may need to hold some luggage, but the money you can save can then goes towards other holiday activities.
If you are planning a holiday that entails long drives with passengers and baggage, you may need to consider the amount of luggage that you are taking. You can save space on baggage by rolling your garments, as they will fit more efficiently. Also, if you use soft cases you will find when arranging the cases into the boot you have more leeway.
Planning ahead will give you a more accurate picture of exactly how much luggage space you will need. This will then also be the underlying factor to consider when choosing the size of your rental car. You can also enquire if the rental agent also has luggage trailers that you may hire. This is also another option but is generally only offered with people movers or 4WD vehicles. Take note that not all agents have trailers and it is best to enquire before you book.
So, when booking your rental car take note of the above points. Small cars are great and economical but may make your holiday disastrous. Please note that if you plan to travel with children you are aware of the exact size car you have chosen. Small cars are generally 3 door hatchbacks which will mean that the kids will have to climb through the front seats to get to the back.
Choosing the right size car will help determine if you have a memorable experience, or a disastrous holiday. - 21393
