Sedan, SUV, Van or Stretch Limo: Which One Fits Your Group?

Choose your vehicle by counting two things: passengers and bags. Up to three travelers with up to three bags fit in our executive sedan. Four to seven people, or a smaller group with a lot of luggage, need a luxury SUV. Eight to twelve people travel together in a passenger van, and for a celebration of up to ten, there is the stretch limousine. Most booking mistakes come from counting the people and forgetting the suitcases.

Here is how to match your group to the right car.

Quick guide by trip

Count the bags, not just the people

The capacities above assume standard checked suitcases. A few things change the count:

• Carry-ons and backpacks usually ride with the passengers, but a group of six with six carry-ons and six suitcases needs more room than six suitcases alone.
• Strollers, car seats and booster seats take cargo space. If you need a car seat, tell us when you book so we can tell you what is available.
• Golf bags, skis and snowboards are long and bulky. Mention them so we send a vehicle that fits them.
• The trip home often has more luggage than the trip out. Souvenirs, shopping and wedding gifts add up, and a week of cruise luggage more than most.

Common mistakes

Booking a stretch limousine for the airport

A stretch limousine is built for passengers and celebrations, not luggage. For an airport run, an SUV or a van carries both the group and the bags.

Squeezing seven adults into one SUV for a long trip

Seven adults fit in the Cadillac Escalade and the Jeep Grand Wagoneer L, six in the Chevrolet Suburban, with the third row in use. For a short ride that is fine. For the hour and a half to the Woods Hole ferry or a full day of wine tasting, a van gives everyone more room.

Splitting a group into two cars

Two SUVs for eight people means two cars to coordinate, two arrivals and two pickups. One passenger van keeps the group together.

Forgetting someone who needs extra help

If a passenger uses a walker, needs help getting in and out, or has a folding wheelchair, tell us when you book. We will suggest the vehicle that works best.

Vehicles for special occasions

• Weddings: an SUV for the couple and a stretch limousine or van for the wedding party. See our wedding transportation guide.
• Prom and homecoming: a stretch limousine or van, sized so every student has a seat. See our prom safety checklist.
• Game days and concerts: an SUV for up to seven, a van for bigger groups. See Gillette Stadium by car service.
