Make one passenger count
Count children as passengers too. Mention anyone who needs easier entry, more frequent breaks or a particular seating position.
Look beyond the seat count
Seat count alone is not enough to choose a car. Tell us the adults, children, suitcase sizes and any stroller. A full passenger load reduces available luggage space; the actual model and layout need confirmation.
Long days need a different conversation
Share the longest expected driving day. Ask about the actual vehicle, rest stops and whether the quote changes when your luggage or group size changes.
