Don't Let Luggage Ruin Your Holiday: An AI-Powered Tool to Solve a Common Travel Problem

You've planned the perfect trip, but there's one travel trap you didn't see coming: the car rental luggage capacity. Here's how to avoid the nightmare.

The Nightmare We Never Planned For

You've spent months planning the trip of a lifetime. The flights are booked, the three teenagers are (mostly) packed, and every detail, from accommodation to chargers, is sorted. But there's one travel trap you didn't see coming: the car rental luggage capacity.

It happened to us in a car rental basement in Paris. Five people, five suitcases, and a car that seemed intent on a one-way trip to a logistical nightmare. We'd meticulously researched the car's boot space, but on pick-up, we were handed a 'similar' model. And 'similar' proved to be completely useless. This frustrating theme repeated for every booking, costing us time, money, and a whole lot of stress. We knew there had to be a better way.

The Shocking Truth About Car Rental Boot Space

Why is it so hard to figure out if your bags will fit? It all comes down to a few key problems:

• Volume vs. Dimensions: Car manufacturers provide boot volume in liters, but this number is a red herring. You need specific measurements—length, width, and height—especially between the wheel arches.
• The "Or Similar" Problem: You book a Toyota Corolla, but you get a Kia Cerato. While they're in the same class, their internal dimensions can be wildly different.
• Vague Guidelines: '3 large bags, 2 small bags' is the standard, but whose bags? A large Samsonite is very different from a large backpack.
