Picking the right vehicle makes a bigger difference to your comfort than almost anything else about a road trip. Here is a simple way to decide.
Sedans
Best for three to four passengers with light luggage. Fuel efficient, comfortable on highways and the most economical option per kilometre.
SUVs
Choose an SUV when you are travelling with family, carrying plenty of bags, or heading into the hills where extra ground clearance helps.
Tempo Travellers
For groups of nine or more travelling together, a tempo traveller keeps everyone in one vehicle and usually works out cheaper than booking two cars.
A Simple Rule
- Count your passengers, then add one seat for comfort.
- Count large suitcases separately from backpacks.
- If the route is hilly, size up one category.
