Classic Group Problem: Luggage Capacity
This is the most crucial point. Don't let your vacation be ruined because your suitcase doesn't fit!
Many rentals say “Hiace fits 15 people”. The number of seats is true, but zero luggage space if all seats are occupied.
Baggage Management Tips from AyoBanyuwangi:
- Formula 12+3: If your group is 12 people, fold the rearmost row of seats (3 seats) to make way for luggage. This is the safest and most comfortable configuration.
- Full Formula 15: If the pass is 15 people, make sure to only bring a backpack (soft bag) that can be carried underfoot or on your lap. Hard luggage (hard case) will not fit.
- Large Luggage Solution: If 15 people + 15 large suitcases, we recommend renting an additional box car (Luggage Van) or upgrade to Medium Bus You guys.
