Golf bags, surf and paddle boards, skis—big gear changes which car fits your trip and how you load it. Use this quick guide to choose the right class and avoid last‑minute repacking on the curb.
Best Classes for Popular Gear
- Surf & paddle boards: Go with a passenger van or full‑size SUV for interior length. In California, start by checking van rentals at LAX—sliding doors and high roofs help.
- Golf trips: Two rigid travel cases fit best behind the second row in an SUV. Compare Orlando SUV hire options with flat load floors.
- Ski getaways: Minivans excel at long items diagonally through the pass‑through. See Miami minivan inventory if you’re connecting south before flying to the mountains.
Packing Like a Pro
- Fold one rear seat to create a long channel; protect edges with a towel.
- Use soft bags around hard cases to prevent sliding and rattles.
- Keep heavy items low and forward of the rear axle for better stability.
Pickup Strategy
Airport fleets are bigger, but busy times sell out roof‑rack models. If you prefer in‑town convenience, compare Las Vegas car hire hours and return policies. Flying with the team? Reserve early at New York JFK to secure vans and 7‑seat SUVs.
