Monthly car rental: 4-seater or 7-seater? Unlike a one-off holiday rental, a monthly car is part of daily life: commuting, school runs, shopping, parking at your apartment and the occasional trip out of town. The wrong size means a month of squeezing in, or a month of high fuel bills and parking headaches. Choose by how you will actually use it.
| Main use during the month | Choose |
|---|---|
| 1–2 people commuting in the city | 4-seater |
| School runs for 1–2 children plus commuting | 4-seater (7-seater with child seats and a stroller) |
| Family of 4–5 with weekend trips | 7-seater |
| Frequent trips home with lots of luggage | 7-seater |
| Narrow alley or tight apartment parking | 4-seater |
A 4-seater fits 1–3 passengers and up to about 3 suitcases. Over a month, its biggest advantage is everyday ease: it fits apartment bays and alleys, uses less fuel in stop-and-go traffic and is light to drive. Downsides: a cramped rear bench for three adults on long trips and a small boot at holiday time. See 4-seater cars.
A 7-seater is most comfortable for 4–5 passengers and up to about 4 suitcases. With all seven seats in use there is almost no luggage space left. Advantages: room for the whole family, child seats and a stroller, higher ground clearance for rainy-season puddles, and a folding third row for bulky items. Downsides: higher fuel use and harder parking. See 7-seater cars.
The fuel type is your choice; request it when you book. Over a month, weigh it against how you drive each day:
Read 7-seater: petrol or diesel. Electric VinFast VF5 and VF7 are also available as self-drive if charging is convenient for you.
Monthly packages come both ways. If the car is mainly for an executive, or you would rather work than drive in rush hour, choose a driver. See monthly car rental. For a single holiday trip instead, see how to choose a car size for your group.
Fleet: 2022–2025 models, inspected before each handover. Prices in the quick-quote form already include a 10% discount.
Up to about 3 suitcases for 1–3 passengers.
Very little. It is most comfortable with 4–5 passengers and up to about 4 suitcases.
It can be arranged subject to availability; let us know in advance. Swap conditions are in the contract.

Count regular passengers, child seats and weekly luggage. Narrow alleys and parking favour a smaller car.
Try one month and switch if needed.
