When planning airport transportation, most travelers focus on one thing first: How many people are traveling?
But there’s another question that can be just as important:
How much luggage are you bringing?
A vehicle that comfortably fits four passengers may not necessarily fit four passengers, several large suitcases, carry-ons, a stroller, and other vacation essentials. Choosing the right transportation ahead of time can help make your arrival or departure much smoother.
Passenger Count Is Only Part of the Story
Imagine two groups, both traveling with four passengers.
The first group has four carry-on bags. The second has four large suitcases, four carry-ons, and a stroller.
Even though both groups have the same number of passengers, their transportation needs are completely different.
That’s why, when booking private transportation with The Sun Shuttle, it’s helpful to consider both passengers and luggage.
When a Private SUV Is a Great Option
A private SUV can be an excellent choice for couples, small families, and groups traveling with a manageable amount of luggage.
It offers privacy, comfort, and a direct ride to your destination without sharing the vehicle with other travelers.
Before booking, however, consider what you’re bringing. Large suitcases and oversized items can quickly use up cargo space.
If you’re unsure, simply let us know approximately how many large suitcases, carry-ons, and other items you’ll have.
Traveling With a Stroller or Car Seat?
Families traveling to Orlando often have a little more to pack.
A stroller can take up significant space, particularly depending on its size and whether it folds compactly. Car seats and other travel equipment may also affect which vehicle is the best fit.
When requesting a quote, let us know if you’re traveling with:
- A stroller
- A car seat
- Multiple large suitcases
- Carry-on luggage
- Any oversized items
The more details we have, the better we can help recommend the right option.
Bigger Groups Need Extra Planning
For larger families and groups, choosing the right vehicle is about more than finding enough seats.
Everyone also needs enough room for their belongings.
A larger vehicle or van may be a better option when traveling with multiple passengers and luggage. It can help your group travel together while providing the space needed for a more comfortable ride.
Why It’s Better to Tell Us Everything Up Front
Nobody wants to arrive at the airport and discover that there isn’t enough room for their luggage.
Providing your transportation company with a few extra details before your trip can help avoid surprises.
When contacting The Sun Shuttle, we recommend sharing:
✓ Number of passengers
✓ Number of children
✓ Large suitcases
✓ Carry-on bags
✓ Strollers or car seats
✓ Any oversized items
This helps us match your group with a transportation option that works for your specific trip.
Not Sure What Vehicle You Need? Just Ask
