Is Size Important?
The age old question, \’Does size matter?\’ If you are to ask any women who is traveling to another part of the world I am sure she will say that size does matter. When it comes to renting a car and you are on the holiday of your dreams, you would want to make sure it will comfortably fit, not only the passengers but also the amount of luggage that may be accumulated when traveling. It\’s also important to consider the extra room that baby seats may take up as well as leg room.
When it comes to calculating how much space is needed, make sure you know exactly how far you have to travel between the airport and your accommodation with all of the passengers and luggage. This may not be that far and you may book a larger rental car, anticipating that you will need all of that room, all of the time. This is generally not the case. Yes, you may have to travel a distance with everything and everyone in the vehicle, but generally you do not travel everywhere on holiday with the entirety of your luggage. If you are realistic with your needs then you may find that you can save some money to spend on your holiday.
However, if your holiday is based around driving the majority of the time with more than one stop for accommodation, you may need to consider a larger hire car. You can always try some space saving tips like rolling your garments which gives you much more room in your suitcases. If you use soft cases instead of hard suit cases you will also find that you can place them easier in the boot of your car hire.
Make sure you plan ahead so you know exactly what size car you will need. The two points to consider are the number of passengers and the amount of luggage. You may also be able to add a luggage trailer to your booking, but this would have to be done before arrival as some agents have limited numbers and in some cases do not offer trailers at all.
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.
If you remember these tips you will be able to find a suitable rental car in no time, and remember that size does matter!
