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.
But when it comes to having space in a rental car, unless you are planning a driving holiday, the size of the vehicle does not need to account for luggage. If you think about how long you will be in the vehicle with every passenger and every bag, you will more than likely realise that you will only need to fit it all in on your arrival and departure. Therefore, it may not be necessary to hire a large vehicle and you can save money. Of course the trip to and from the airport maybe a little bit squishy, but the money you could potentially save may be surprising.
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.
If you remember these tips you will be able to find a suitable rental car in no time, and remember that size does matter! - 21396
