How do I know if my luggage fits a rental car?

Enter how many carry-on and checked bags you have. The calculator totals their packed volume and finds the smallest rental class whose boot space fits, after a real-world packing-efficiency allowance.

Is this luggage calculator accurate?

It uses manufacturer boot volumes (rear seats up) and a deliberately conservative 0.72 packing-efficiency factor, because rigid suitcases leave gaps and don't tessellate perfectly. Treat it as a close, cautious estimate — not a guarantee.

Will my luggage fit the rental car?

Enter your bags — get the smallest rental class that fits, instantly.

Tell the calculator how many carry-on and checked bags you have and it finds the smallest rental car class whose boot space fits — from a city car up to a 9-seat van — using manufacturer boot volumes and a real-world 0.72 packing-efficiency factor (bags never tessellate perfectly).

Check against a rental class

How it works

Enter your bags; the calculator totals their volume, applies a 0.72 real-world packing-efficiency factor (suitcases leave gaps), then finds the smallest rental class whose boot fits — and flags a tight squeeze. Figures use manufacturer boot volumes with rear seats up; fold them down for more space.

Frequently asked

How accurate is this?

It uses manufacturer boot volumes and a 0.72 packing-efficiency factor (bags don't tessellate perfectly). It's a close estimate, not a guarantee — odd-shaped items pack differently.

How many suitcases fit in a compact car?

A compact (~380 L boot) fits roughly two medium checked bags plus a couple of carry-ons.
