What changes the plan
For a sedan, focus on who sits in the rear and how often people enter and leave. A quiet-looking cabin does not tell you whether a tall passenger is comfortable or a garment bag fits neatly. Request the exact configuration and, when it matters, measure the luggage instead of relying on a generic capacity label.
For an SUV, ask what luggage space remains with every required seat occupied. Folded-seat photographs can give a misleading impression of a full-group trip. Check parking height, side-door clearance and whether passengers can get in comfortably. The largest vehicle is not always easiest in a tight hotel garage.
For a convertible, plan around a closed-roof day as well as the ideal sunny one. Check bags and passenger access with the actual roof arrangement. If your schedule combines an airport arrival and a light afternoon outing, separating those two journeys may provide a better experience than asking one car to do everything.
