Passenger Capacity Is Only Half the Equation
Black Car Luggage Guide
Make the vehicle choice easier with a complete bag list. Count suitcases, carry-ons and equipment separately, then flag anything that will not fit like ordinary travel luggage.
At a glance
Choose luggage capacity using the assigned vehicle, passenger count and bag dimensions together. Generic seat or suitcase numbers are planning guides. Confirm strollers, skis, golf clubs and mobility equipment before reserving.

Create your airport transfer luggage list
For example: four adults, four large checked suitcases, four small carry-ons and one folding stroller. Include approximate dimensions for an unusually large case. A photograph can help explain an awkward item, but it does not replace confirmation that it will fit safely.
| Item | Information to send | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Passengers and child seats | Adults, children and the requested seating equipment. | Equipment can affect seating and usable room. |
| Suitcases and carry-ons | Number, type and oversized pieces. | Seat count alone does not establish cargo capacity. |
| Skis, strollers and mobility equipment | Type, size where useful and whether items fold. | Long or bulky equipment needs its own fit assessment. |
| Return load | Additional passengers, shopping or bags on the return. | The outward vehicle choice may not suit a changed load. |
Ski bags, strollers and oversized equipment
One ski bag may contain several pairs of skis. Golf bags, boxed equipment, musical instruments and bicycles have different shapes. State the count, packing method and approximate dimensions. Ask about safe transport rather than assuming a vehicle carries racks, roof boxes or special fittings.
Child seats and mobility equipment in your vehicle
Give the children’s seating requirements and any mobility equipment when you first request the trip. Explain boarding or transfer needs. A folding walking aid and a passenger travelling seated in a wheelchair are different requirements; discuss the exact arrangement with reservations.
Check luggage capacity for outbound and return trips
Your return load may include purchases or equipment collected during the stay. Tell reservations if it changes. For groups, ask each traveller for a bag count and nominate someone to total it. This prevents a suitable seating plan from becoming an unsuitable luggage plan on pickup day.
Questions about this guide
Do carry-ons need to be counted?
Yes. Include every item, even when it is small. The vehicle recommendation should reflect the whole load.
Can bags be carried on passengers’ laps?
Do not plan capacity on that basis. Ask reservations to confirm safe storage for every item in the assigned vehicle.
Can I add bags after booking?
Tell reservations before travel. Added bags may require a different category, availability check or revised quote.
