Family or Group Trip: 4-Seat, 7-Seat, 16-Seat or Limousine?

The right vehicle makes your trip more comfortable and better value. Here's a guide by group size and needs.

Quick guide

Passengers Suggested vehicle Best for
1 – 3 4-seat car couples, small families, light luggage
4 – 6 7-seat car families, friends, more luggage
6 – 9 9-seat limousine multi-generation families, comfort on long drives
8 – 15 16–18-seat van groups of friends, small companies
16+ 29- or 45-seat coach company groups, conferences, events

Passenger numbers are suggestions for travelling comfortably with luggage, not the vehicle's maximum seats.

Don't forget luggage

Large suitcases take up a lot of room. Four people with four big suitcases usually need a 7-seater rather than a 4-seater. When booking, tell us the number of suitcases, strollers and bulky items (surfboards, bikes…).

Travelling with children and elderly relatives

  • Go one size up for space to store things and swap seats.
  • On long legs like Saigon – Da Lat, a limousine with deep-reclining, roomy seats makes the trip much easier for older travellers.
  • Let us know in advance so the driver can plan sensible rest and toilet stops.

Private transfer or car charter?

  • Private transfer: one-way from A to B, private car, all-inclusive price per route. Ideal if you just need to get between two cities. See route prices.
  • Car charter: hire the whole car with a driver by the day or for an itinerary — multi-day tours, same-day round trips, the car waits at every stop. See car charter.

Why a private car?

With Minh Hy Travel every trip is a private car, never shared, with door-to-door pickup and an all-inclusive price with no extra fees. You choose when to leave and when to stop.
