  • Label all bags with contact info
  • Pack heavier items at bottom of suitcase

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can family of 4 with luggage fit in 5-seater cab?

Yes, but it's tight. 4 adults + 2 large suitcases + 2 cabin bags technically fits in Citroen eC3, but you'll be cramped. Strongly recommended: Book 7-seater (Kia Carens EV) for ₹1,000 more. You get 4 large suitcases capacity, more leg room, and a relaxed journey instead of fighting for space for 2.5 hours.

Do I need to pay extra for luggage in electric cab?

No extra charges for standard luggage. The ₹2,700-₹4,200 price includes reasonable luggage capacity (up to 4 large suitcases in 7-seater). Only excessive luggage requiring roof carrier or trailer incurs additional charges. 99% of passengers never pay extra luggage fees. If you have 3+ large suitcases, simply book a 7-seater for comfort.

What if my suitcase doesn't fit in the boot?

If properly communicated during booking, this never happens. But if it does: (1) Driver can adjust third-row seats in 7-seater to create more boot space. (2) One passenger can hold a cabin bag. (3) In extreme cases, driver can rearrange other bags to optimize space. Solution: Always mention exact luggage count during booking to ensure proper vehicle allocation.

Can I carry baby stroller and luggage together?

Yes, easily in 7-seater. Foldable baby strollers fit alongside 3-4 large suitcases in Kia Carens EV or BYD eMax 7. Also room for car seat, diaper bag, and baby essentials. Not recommended in 5-seater (Citroen eC3) with full family + luggage. Always book 7-seater for family travel with baby equipment.

Is there weight limit for luggage in cab?

No strict weight limit, but be reasonable. Combined luggage weight of 100-120kg is fine (5-6 standard suitcases at 20kg each). Vehicle can safely carry 6-7 passengers + 120kg luggage. If you have exceptionally heavy items (> 150kg total luggage), mention during booking. The limiting factor is usually space, not weight.
