Luggage Math for Airport Transfer: What Fits in a Mercedes Vito?

"We have 3 adults + 1 child + 4 suitcases + a stroller, will it all fit?" This question reaches our operators at least 20 times a day. All our airport transfers run in a private Mercedes Vito (VIP, never shared), so the real question is simple: does your luggage fit in one Vito, or do you need two? In this guide we detail the Vito's capacity, family scenarios, and extras like a roof box.

Why this article matters

Many passengers only think about luggage at the airport — then panic when the bags pile up at the curb. This is a frequent scene with 23 kg suitcases. Telling us your exact passenger and luggage count from the start makes the transfer smoother and ensures the right number of Vitos is waiting.

Our airport vehicle: Mercedes Vito

Mercedes Vito (VIP, private)

• Passengers: up to 7 people
• Large suitcase: up to 7 pieces
• Stroller + 5 suitcases: Easy fit
• Stroller + 7 suitcases: Won't fit — a roof box or a second Vito is recommended

Two or more Vitos

• For: groups of 8+, weddings, large families
• Luggage: up to 7 bags per Vito
• All Vitos are dispatched to arrive together

Common family scenarios

Scenario 1: 2 adults + 2 children (0-7 years) + 3 suitcases + stroller

Recommendation: One Vito fits everything with room to spare. Child and infant seats are installed free of charge.

Scenario 2: 2 adults + 4 suitcases

Recommendation: One Vito — all cases go in the back and every seat stays free.

Scenario 3: 4 adults + 4 suitcases + 2 backpacks

Recommendation: One Vito is the right choice. Hand bags are free inside.

Scenario 4: 6 adults + 6 suitcases + golf sets

Recommendation: The Vito swallows the bags, but golf bags are a problem. We recommend a Vito + roof box combo or two Vitos.

Scenario 5: 3 adults + 1 baby + 3 large suitcases + stroller + baby cot

Recommendation: One Vito is ideal; infant seat is free, please notify for the cot in advance.

Roof box option

We have a roof box model that fits on the Vito:

• Extra capacity: 380 litres (3 extra large suitcases)
• Extra fee: applies one way
• Lock: Spare key with driver; waterproof
• When needed: A full 7-person family + sports gear (bike bag, golf set, skis)

Write "Extra equipment" in the booking note and the roof box will be installed. You can also send a last-minute WhatsApp — at least 2 hours in advance.

Baby and child seats

• Infant seat (0–12 months): Rear-facing, ISOFIX, free
• Toddler seat (1–4 years): Forward-facing, integrated belt, free
• Booster seat (4–12 years): Cushion type, free

Under Turkish traffic law, children under 12 and below 135 cm must travel in a child seat. That is why we ask for age/height during booking — so the correct seat arrives pre-installed.

Some families prefer to bring their own seat (checked on the plane). In that case we can install it via ISOFIX in our vehicle; the driver will assist.

Wheelchair / special equipment

• Folding wheelchair: Fits in the Vito without a problem (counts as one suitcase).
• Electric mobility scooter: Please notify us 48 hours in advance so we can check whether it fits in the Vito.
• Oxygen cylinder: Permitted in our vehicles; a doctor's note is requested (you usually have one for the flight).

Example: İzmir Airport → Kusadasi, 4 passengers + 5 suitcases

One Vito fits all 5 suitcases easily, with hand bags kept separately inside — and the fixed price for the whole car splits down to very little per person for a family of 4.

Making the right choice during online booking

On our website, when booking:

1. Enter the exact passenger count (infants included)
2. Specify suitcase count (large + hand bags counted separately)
3. Tick the stroller box
4. In the special equipment field, write: "golf set / skis / surfboard / pet"
5. If a luggage warning appears, add a second Vito or a roof box

Pet transfer

Cat or dog in a carrier fits fine in the Vito, and uncaged dogs are also welcome in the Vito. No extra charge; we also provide a water bowl after the flight.

Common mistakes

• "My 23 kg suitcase looks small": In reality 70x50x30 cm; always count it as a large case
• "We also have a cardboard box": If irregular, it wastes space. Please share a photo in advance.
• "My child is 4 but small, no seat needed": By law under 135 cm requires a seat; insurance checks this.
• "We'll sort out the luggage at the airport": If your luggage doesn't fit, calling an extra car at the last minute doubles the cost — tell us the bag count in advance.
