What car size do i need?

Our group consists of 6 adults and 1 four year old. I searched fro 7 seaters but spec for seven seaters say 4 cases . I expect every adult to have a case. Do you think we will manage? I guess we could send some on ahead in an uber just on day of arrival as seven seats should be wnough for day to day travelling. Or should i look to even bigger cars

How about an 8 seater van which would allow you to fold a seat down giving more room for luggage.

BA flydrive seems to be coming up with 7 seater or 12 seater options.

You won't get 6 large cases plus the 4yo's luggage in a people carrier or a 7 seat SUV with all seats used.

Yes they are massive, but Limits trunk space.

As it's a BA fly-drive you are limited to Avis or Budget.

Suburban (or similar) with Avis maybe have 8 seats. We had a Yukon XL(Suburban with GMC badge) last trip which had 8.


We had the full third row dropped as we only had 5. But the single seat in picture could go up, giving you the 7 seats you need plus that extra space.

That looks ideal but don’t see that option in the list. Do I need to phone after booking to get that ?

Tahoe is Large (Group Z with Avis/Budget on BA)
Suburban is Luxury (Group L with Avis/Budget on BA)

Should be there on page 2

Mmm I only have one page. Even tried changing my party size to 8 in total to see if it would appear but max size was seven.

Sorry to butt in - just seen your post! I've booked a minivan for 7 adults through BA/Avis, but was wondering if we should change to a full size SUV as not sure which will fit the most luggage with 7 seats occupied. Watching this post with interest.

Strange.
Perhaps give them a call, Party size shouldn't be the issue.
Should be able to choose the grade of car you want.

Edit
Had a quick flick for my dates as a FD and it has the second page available and there is only 4 in our party.
