Rav 4 - Fits my family??

Morning All

Bit of a random thread – I am heading to Port Douglas in a few weeks and need a hire car.

I have found this mob called Vizivo – http://www.vizivo.org/

who have great prices – $412 for 7 days..

Question is, My family is 2 adults , 1x 5 & 8yr old, 1 x 20 month yr old + 2 cases, 4 hand luggage and a Mclaren stroller – Will the RAV4 be suitable?

We will only use it a few times but getting a Taxi for 5 with a trailer for luggage is $190 each way so the car makes sense. The main journey is Cairns Airport to Port Douglas (70KM)

Hoping a RAV4 owner can advise??

Cheers

PS - I do belong here as my wife drives an 08 Kluger!

should do it without any dramas

I was amazed at the level of space in the rear compartment of our SX-6 when we picked it up a few weeks ago...

check out the area under the rear carpet for storage...you'll fit plenty of stuff in there, even before you start putting bags in...

the kids will be OK in the back too...we fit my 3 strapping 20something boys in the back without ant probs...and they are ALL footie players over 6ft.(bit light on in the rear footwell space that day...but ahh well)

have fun in Port Douglas

And the drive from Cairns to Pt Douglas is one of the great scenic drives of the country.

You'll love it!

No problems. 5 of us (all adults) drove from Toowoomba to Port Douglas a couple of weeks ago. And packed the luggage so we had clear visiblility out the back window. Again, no problems.
