Well, yes it does! Ask any women and she will tell you that size is very important when you are travelling by car.
Of course a lot will depend on who you are travelling with, how long you are travelling for and where you will be travelling too.
Do you need room in the car for a certain number of passengers? Do they have any special needs i.
e.
baby seats for children or extra leg room for extra tall passengers? Many of us are very focused on luggage when we travel and I'm not sure why people say, "I want to rent a car but we have 4 people with bags so I need a big car to fit our luggage".
The luggage will only be in the vehicle in most cases from the airport or pick up location to your accommodation then back to the airport for departure.
It doesn't make any sense hiring a big car just for a little inconvenience for a short trip to drop the bags off, even if the passengers in the back seat have to have a bag on their lap temporarily.
Today we are all very conscious of saving our pennies, so saving money on car hire will allow you to spend it on the fun things whilst you are away.
Of course if you are doing a road trip and long distances are planned, then you will need to look at the amount of luggage you are taking.
Most of us travel with far too many cloths and in most cases you should pack, then halve it.
Soft cases pack easily into vehicle boots rather than hard cases where a lot of the room is taken up by the wheels and handle of the case.
Get into the habit of rolling your clothes when you pack them as you will fit more into a case and the cloths will crease less.
If the family or group travelling need plenty of luggage area, it may be worth investigating the possibility of hiring a luggage trailer.
Most rental companies have them, but normally you would need to be hiring a people mover or 4WD as these vehicles have towbars.
This probably sounds like I'm preaching hiring small cars, but NO, that is not the case, although in most instances it is cheaper to do so.
Small cars are great, but if you have an elderly passenger, small cars can be hell for them with little room to move.
Travelling with children in small cars can also be a challenge if they need room to do activities to keep them amused or to stop them fighting from boredom.
Give plenty of consideration to the size you really need before you start your search for vehicle hire.
It isn't all about price!
