How Much Luggage Fits: Six Classes from Econom to Bus
Two people with suitcases travel comfortably in a sedan. Add a pushchair, a pair of skis or a fourth passenger, though, and the guessing starts: will it fit or won't it? It's better to choose the class before you book, not when the driver has already opened the boot. Below are all six classes, how much each one takes and when to move up to the next.
Six classes in one table
| Class | Vehicle | Passengers | Luggage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Econom | standard car | up to 3 | 2 medium suitcases |
| Eco | business-class electric or hybrid | up to 3 | 2 medium suitcases |
| Business | business-class sedan | up to 3 | 2 medium suitcases |
| Premium | executive sedan | up to 3 | 3 medium suitcases |
| Van | minivan | up to 7 | the whole group's suitcases, a pushchair |
| Bus | minibus | up to 16 | the whole group's luggage |
By a medium suitcase we mean a checked bag roughly 65 cm tall. Hand luggage, the usual 55 x 40 x 20 cm cabin bag, travels inside the car with you.
Every class has a free child seat and a phone charger. There is water on board in Eco, Business, Van and Premium.
Econom, Eco and Business: two or three people with two suitcases
For luggage, these three classes are the same: up to three passengers and two medium suitcases. The difference is the car itself. Econom is a standard car, Eco is a business-class electric or hybrid, and Business is a business-class sedan.
They work well for:
- two people, each with a medium suitcase and hand luggage;
- one person on a business trip with a suitcase and a laptop bag;
- two or three adults travelling light, hand luggage only.
The most common mistake is counting seats instead of suitcases. A sedan seats three, but only two medium suitcases fit in the boot. Three adults with a suitcase each won't fit in these classes.
Premium: room for a third suitcase in a sedan
Premium is an executive sedan, a step up from Business. It still takes up to three passengers, but the boot holds three medium suitcases. It suits three people with suitcases who don't need a minivan.
Van: groups of up to seven, pushchairs, skis
A minivan for up to seven passengers, with room for the whole group's suitcases and a pushchair. You need a Van if:
There are four or more of you. Every sedan has three passenger seats, so there's nowhere for a fourth person to sit.
You're bringing a pushchair. Folded, a pushchair takes up about as much room in the boot as a medium suitcase. Two adults, a toddler, two suitcases and a pushchair already call for a Van.
You're bringing skis or a snowboard. A ski bag around 175 cm long won't go into a sedan boot, but it fits in a Van or a Bus. Heading to Andorra with skis? Book a Van.
You're bringing golf clubs. A hard club case measures roughly 130 x 40 x 40 cm. One will only just go into a sedan, and two won't go in at all. In a Van or a Bus, golf cases travel without any trouble.
You're bringing a bike or a surfboard. A standard bike box is about 140 x 80 x 30 cm. For a bike box, a longboard or exhibition stands, message our support team with the measurements before you book, and we'll tell you which class to choose.
Bus: groups of up to sixteen
Bus is a minibus for up to 16 passengers with the whole group's luggage, skis and golf cases included. It's the one to book when there are more than seven of you: a team, a wedding party, two families travelling together. If there are more than sixteen of you, you'll need a second vehicle, which means a second booking.
Prices by class
The price is per car, not per person, so for a group one Van usually works out cheaper than two sedans. The calculator on each route page shows the exact amount for every class before you book:
| Route | Econom | Business | Van |
|---|---|---|---|
| Airport to central Barcelona | from €32 | from €58 | from €63 |
| Airport to Sitges | from €50 | from €82 | from €88 |
| Airport to Salou | from €138 | from €198 | from €208 |
| Barcelona to Valencia | from €432 | from €591 | from €614 |
If you're torn between two classes, go for the bigger one. You can see the price difference in advance, but a second car won't magically appear next to an open boot.
How to decide in a minute
Count the passengers and the medium suitcases, and measure your longest item:
| What's travelling | Which class |
|---|---|
| up to 3 people and up to 2 suitcases | Econom, Eco or Business |
| up to 3 people and 3 suitcases | Premium |
| 4-7 people, a pushchair or an item longer than 80 cm | Van |
| 8-16 people | Bus |
A child seat takes nothing away from the luggage space, but it does take up a passenger seat. Two children in child seats plus three adults make five seats, and that's a Van.
Frequently asked questions
Does a folded pushchair count as a suitcase?
Yes. In the boot, a folded pushchair takes up as much room as one medium suitcase. If two medium suitcases are travelling with it, you need a Van.
How many suitcases fit in Econom, Eco and Business?
Two medium suitcases, plus hand luggage inside the car. With three suitcases, book Premium; with more luggage than that, a Van.
How is Premium different from Business for luggage?
Both take up to three passengers, but Premium holds three medium suitcases and Business holds two.
Which class can take skis?
Van or Bus. A ski bag around 175 cm long won't fit in a sedan boot.
When should I book a Bus rather than a Van?
When there are more than seven of you. A Van takes up to seven passengers, a Bus up to sixteen. For more than sixteen people, you'll need a second vehicle on a separate booking.
Do child seats reduce the luggage space?
No, but each one takes up a passenger seat. Count the seats and the suitcases separately.
You choose the class in the booking form and see the price of each one before you confirm. Families heading for the coast usually take a Van: the journey to Salou takes ~1 hr 9 min, and on a trip that long an extra suitcase matters more than the price difference. Trip conditions and prices by class are on every route page, for example from the airport to central Barcelona. You'll find all the other destinations in the transfer catalogue.
You book in the Let's GO app or on the website: enter the pickup address and the destination, and the price appears straight away, before you confirm.
