Hi all,

We have hired a 7people minivan and paid upgrade for 5 ADULTS.
I wondered if anybody could help. we are flying with virgin so are allowed 2 cases each however i have got very big cases, and wanted to know howmany roughly i can get in this kind of car.

Thanks.

you wont get 10 cases in a 7 seater, we had a 7 str in oct, the dodge variant of the chrysler voyager and i was very disappointed with it hardly any luggage space at all. we had 5 cases and some carry ons and we were pushed to get that lot in, in fact we had to have a case in the passenger area. trip b4 that in 02 we had an 8 str dodge ram 1500 i think it was and it was huge loads of space, trip b4 that we had an 8 str again and i was a chevy astrovan with twin doors at the back and that had loads of space too.

hope this helps david

We had a 7 seater with 3 adults and a baby. With only 4 people we could fold the back set of 3 seats down to make extra space. On the way back to the airport we had 3 large holdalls, 3 small holdalls, 1 buggy folded, 3 carry-on bags and that lot filled the back space to the top. With the back seats up we would have had to shove bags around our feet and on the spare seats. Of course it's only for the journeys to and from the airport though.

We had to do 2 trips to DTD with our luggage for 4 adults 2 kids. We had holdalls too, not cases.

We have 4 adults and 2 children, we had 5 suitcases and 4 hand luggage, we did have to put some luggage in the main cab, however its only to and from the airport so i wouldnt worry.

4 large suit cases
1 trolly case that we brought from disney folded up in one of the large cases.
2 medium cases and 1 small

With 4 addition carry on bags.

i reckon you will be pushing it with that little lot david IMHO for a 7 str, the voyagers have as i mentioned b4 very little luggage space, just looked on dollar site for luggage space and a voyager has room for 2 big 3 small cases

i reckon you will have to u/g to a 8str, what airport are you flying into mco or sanford?

That's going to be a very tight squeeze.

We had an 8 seater on our last trip and if it is a possibility for you I would upgrade - it had loads of luggage space we probably had about 7 largeish suitcases plus hand luggage and a buggy and it fitted no problem. On our trips out each day it was great as we could fit two unfolded buggies in the back plus bags etc.

i was thnking that get 2 cases in the boot of the car and the 4 smaller ones on the seets and 1 standing up in gang way and the carry on bag on laps.

Only a short drive from the Airport!
