West coast beaches, cirques, picnics in the Highlands: as a family, the right vehicle changes the whole stay. Boot, seats and comfort: here’s the lowdown.
How many seats and what boot
A couple with two children travels comfortably in a compact SUV: room for suitcases and the buggy, and a high driving position that is pleasant on winding roads. From 5 passengers, an MPV means you don’t have to sacrifice the boot.
Comfort on long drives
Between the coast and the Highlands, journeys follow one another. Air conditioning and a roomy cabin make all the difference with children. A child seat can be added as an option.
Unlimited mileage, the family asset
As a family you do lots of outings: beach in the morning, waterfall in the afternoon. Included unlimited mileage lets you explore without counting the kilometres.
Tip: for 4 people and luggage, a compact SUV is enough; for 5 or more, go for an MPV. Compare sizes in our car rental offer on the island.
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer child seats?
Yes, as an option when booking. Remember to mention it so we can prepare it in advance.
Can an SUV go anywhere?
On main roads and to the cirques, yes. For unsealed tracks, check first: they are not covered by the insurance.
