Why luggage changes the vehicle you need
Passenger count
How many people will actually ride in the vehicle?
Checked luggage
How many large suitcases will go in the trunk or under-floor compartment?
Carry-on & special items
Backpacks, instruments, golf bags, bicycle boxes and other bulky items also matter.
Quick Guide: Vehicle Size and Luggage Capacity
The figures below are practical planning guidelines, not guaranteed loading limits. Actual luggage capacity varies by vehicle model, year, seat configuration and suitcase size. Please provide the number of passengers, large suitcases, carry-on bags and oversized items before booking.
| Vehicle | Typical Use | Practical Luggage Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Hyundai Staria / Kia Carnival | Families, small groups, VIP transfers | Best for small groups. When every passenger has a large suitcase, the practical passenger capacity may be lower than the nominal seat count. |
| Hyundai Solati 15-Seater | Small private and corporate groups | Suitable for small groups with moderate luggage. Passenger capacity should be adjusted when the group carries many large suitcases or bulky items. |
| Hyundai County 25-Seater | Small to medium groups | For airport groups with luggage, around 18 passengers is often a more practical planning level. The rear luggage compartment typically accommodates only about 5–6 large suitcases, depending on the vehicle. |
| 35-Seat Coach | Medium-size tour and business groups | Luggage-compartment size varies significantly by individual coach. Vehicle age and configuration should be checked before confirming luggage-heavy airport transfers. |
| 45-Seat Coach | Large groups and luggage-heavy airport transfers | Usually the most practical option for large groups with substantial luggage. Depending on the coach and suitcase size, approximately 40–50 large suitcases may be accommodated. |
| VIP Limousine Coach | VIP delegations and long-distance premium travel | Typical limousine conversions include approximately 28 seats from a 45-seat coach, 20 seats from a 35-seat coach, or 16 seats from a 25-seat vehicle. Luggage space still varies by the base vehicle. |
Important: These are approximate planning figures only. Final vehicle suitability is confirmed after reviewing passenger count, suitcase quantity, suitcase size and special equipment.
Real-world group examples
A small group can still require more luggage space than a compact passenger van provides comfortably.
A 25-seater may be more practical than a smaller van because checked bags and personal bags must both be accommodated.
This is a luggage-heavy airport group. A large coach may be more appropriate even though the passenger count is below 20.
Tell us if luggage will increase during the trip. Arrival and departure vehicle needs may differ.

Common luggage questions
Is a vehicle with the same number of seats as our group always enough?
No. Seat capacity and luggage capacity are different. The correct vehicle depends on passengers, checked suitcases, carry-on bags and special equipment. For airport transfers, luggage often becomes the deciding factor.
Can 25 passengers with luggage fit in a 25-seater bus?
Not always. A 25-seater describes seating capacity, not guaranteed airport-luggage capacity. If most passengers have large suitcases, the practical passenger capacity can be lower.
We are 19 passengers with about 40 large suitcases. What vehicle should we book?
For unusually heavy luggage, a large coach with a substantial under-floor luggage compartment may be required even though the group is only 19 people. Please provide both checked and carry-on luggage counts.
Which is more important when choosing a bus: passengers or luggage?
Both matter, but for airport transfers the luggage volume may determine the final vehicle size. Two groups with the same number of passengers may need different vehicles.
Can luggage stay on the bus while we sightsee before going to the airport?
Usually this can be arranged when the selected vehicle has enough secured luggage space and the itinerary is agreed in advance. Tell us that all luggage will remain on board when requesting a quotation.
Can you carry bicycles or bicycle boxes?
Yes, depending on quantity, dimensions and vehicle configuration. Please tell us whether bicycles are fully assembled or boxed, and how much other luggage you have.
Can you carry golf bags, ski equipment, instruments or other oversized items?
Please tell us before booking. Oversized or fragile items affect vehicle selection and loading arrangements.
Should we choose a 35-seat or 45-seat coach for around 20 passengers?
It depends mainly on luggage and comfort requirements. Around 20 passengers with many large suitcases may be better served by a 45-seat coach with a larger luggage compartment.
Not sure which vehicle fits?
Send us your passenger count and luggage count. We can recommend a practical vehicle size before you confirm the booking.
