With RydAgent, a group of up to 9 fits in one car — a Toyota HiAce carries up to 9 passengers and a Toyota Alphard up to 4 — and a group of 10 or more travels in two or more cars, each booked separately at its own fixed price. Passenger numbers are a hard limit, but empty seats can take luggage: passengers plus large suitcases can add up to 8 in an Alphard and 18 in a HiAce. A group of 28, for example, rides in 4 HiAce with 7 people each, leaving plenty of room for bags.
Children riding in child seats count as passengers.
A car fits your group when passengers stay within its limit (4 or 9) and passengers plus large suitcases stay within 8 (Alphard) or 18 (HiAce).
Ten or more people, or more luggage than one car takes: divide the group between cars, keeping each car within both limits.
One booking is one car. Book each car with the same pickup, drop-off, date and time, and the number of passengers riding in it. Each booking gets its own confirmation and booking page.
No — fewer bags don't add seats. An Alphard takes up to 4 passengers and a HiAce up to 9, however light you travel. It only works the other way: empty seats can carry luggage.
Add passengers and large suitcases together. Six people with 10 large suitcases fit one HiAce (16 of 18); two people with 6 large suitcases fit one Alphard (8 of 8). For nine people with 10 suitcases (19), we'd suggest a second car. The luggage total is a guide for ordinary suitcases; the luggage page shows how other items count.
No. Every price is per vehicle, so a HiAce with 9 people costs the same as one with 5. Each car in a larger group is priced on its own.
