Hyundai Solati

View Hyundai Solati serviceHow to Choose the Right Bus in Korea
Choosing a private bus in Korea depends not only on the number of passengers but also on suitcase size, backpacks, golf bags, garment bags, wheelchairs, strollers and event equipment.
A vehicle may have enough seats while still lacking enough luggage space. Airport transfers generally require a larger vehicle than Seoul city tours with the same number of people.
Important luggage rule:
Seat capacity does not equal luggage capacity. A 25-seat
County bus may carry approximately 18 passengers comfortably,
but it is generally unsuitable for 18 passengers carrying
18 large suitcases.

For an Incheon Airport or Gimpo Airport transfer, please count every item that must travel with the group. This includes checked suitcases, cabin bags, backpacks, golf bags, garment bags, baby strollers and company equipment.
Recommended booking information:
Send the total passenger count, number of large suitcases,
number of cabin bags, special equipment, flight number,
terminal, pickup time and destination address.
Example: 11 passengers with 11 large suitcases
A Hyundai Solati normally cannot carry 11 passengers together with 11 large 20 kg suitcases. A larger coach should be considered.
Example: 18 passengers with 18 suitcases
Although a County bus may provide enough passenger seats, its luggage compartment is generally too small. A 35-seat or 45-seat coach is safer.
Example: 30 passengers with luggage
A 45-seat coach is generally recommended. The larger luggage compartment and additional seating flexibility make it more suitable for airport transportation and long-distance travel.
Frequently Asked Questions

Normally no. Passenger seats and luggage space compete for the same interior capacity. A larger bus is generally recommended for 11 passengers carrying 11 large suitcases.
Can a 25-seat County bus carry 18 passengers and 18 suitcases?
Normally no. A County bus may have enough passenger seats, but its luggage compartment is limited. A 35-seat or 45-seat coach is recommended for airport transfers with this amount of luggage.

The correct vehicle depends on passenger count, suitcase size and additional items such as golf bags, strollers or event equipment. Airport groups should generally choose a larger vehicle than city-tour groups of the same size.
Does bus seat capacity equal luggage capacity?
No. The number of passenger seats does not guarantee enough luggage space. Suitcase dimensions, backpacks, golf bags, garment bags and equipment must also be considered.
Can we reserve a larger bus than the passenger count requires?
Yes. Reserving a larger vehicle is often recommended for airport transfers, long-distance trips, large suitcases, golf bags and groups that require more comfortable seating.
