Toyota Yaris

I have reserved a Yaris from Tropic Car Rentals. Do you think this will be big enough to hold 4 adults and luggage? Is there room enough to fit 3 people in the back seat?
Thanks...

Probably you'll get an other (similar) car anyway.
But I really think you should choose a bigger category. This is just too small for 4 adults with luggage.

Send a message via Skype™ to Andrea J.
it will be tight

we fit 4 adults in the yaris over and over
but with luggage........figuring one regular size suitcase per person, most likely will not fit

the only reason it works for us is we only bring carry on most times as we leave the majority of our stuff in our timeshare storage bin.



i am sure that you cannot beat tropic's rates but i do know all of h is vehicles are yaris size

maybe one or 2 of you should take a cab from the airport freeing up some space

or contact optima to see if they have anything larger

As for four people in a Yaris, yes.

How much luggage?

The Yaris has a big trunk, but it will be tight with the luggage. Take a bungi cord or some light rope.

4 adults with luggage will never work.We are two adults that have four pieces of luggage and it is tight.We use Tropic also ,just so you know he only has Toyota Yaris's.

A Yaris is not going to work. Can I recommend More4Less vehicle rental. I was very happy with their vehicle and their service. They will meet you in the airport lobby, put your luggage in the vechile you are renting, and go across the street to fill out the paper work. It took 5 mins. at their office. I will be using them again in my future trips to Aruba. http://www.more4less-aruba.com/

Well..I think that if we get there and can't all fit into the Yaris, we'll go with Andrea's idea and have a couple take a taxi. Sounds logical to me.
Are taxis readily available at the airport when you arrive?
Thanks everyone for your input! You're the best!
