Travelling to Frankston Station, Melbourne Airport, or the Peninsula with more than a couple of bags? It’s better to know which vehicle to book before you’re standing outside struggling to fit everything in. Most of the Frankston taxis can comfortably fit 2-3 bags in a standard vehicle; larger vehicles can handle 4 or more to ensure smooth & comfortable travel. Check this guide out to understand luggage capacity by taxi type so you can book the right ride for yourself.
If you’re trying to figure out whether your bags will actually fit, you’re not the only one. Many people are curious, and it is the most commonly asked question people get before booking. Here’s a clear breakdown of what each vehicle can realistically handle.
The standard choice for everyday trips around Frankston is the sedan, providing seating up to 4 people and room for 2 bags. Recommended mostly for solo travellers or couples with minimal suitcases; great for light travel, not so great if you need more space and have more luggage in hand, then you probably want to size up.
Think of an SUV as the sedan’s bigger sibling. It has seating for up to 6 people and room for 4 bags, which is double the space compared to the sedan, giving more breathing room. SUV will suit you more if you’re a small family heading to the airport, a couple with oversized suitcases, or anyone who is confused whether their suitcase will fit into a sedan. If you’re confused between the two options, an SUV will be a safer option to go with’
For Bigger groups travelling, you know maxi taxi is the choice. It has seating up to 11 people and can hold 8 bags. Great for trips down to the Peninsula or a full airport pickup. One thing to keep in mind is, with all 11 seats filled, there isn’t much space for all the luggage. So ifyou’ree travelling heavy, it’s better to mention your bag count when you book.
In need of a ride where you need comfort and ease? Booking a luxury vehicle with a professional driver would be a perfect match. Travel is not always about packing stuff, but sometimes it is about ease. The luxury vehicle has seats for up to 4 people and is built more around comfort and presentation rather than for packing stuff. Corporate transfers, client pickups, or special occasions like weddings or just a fancy date night? Opting for a luxury vehicle is a better option. If luggage volume isn’t an issue and your main priority is comfort and easy travel, it’s worth considering.
Booking your ride takes less than a minute, but it is better to keep a few things in mind so that when your ride comes, you are ready to go.
If travelling with anything that is bulky, heavy, and doesn’t fit under a “standard bag” category, it’s worth thinking about it before booking your ride, instead of figuring out how to fit it all in when your ride shows up. Suitcases are the easy part — it’s everything else that confuses people.
No, this doesn’t mean you can’t travel with them; it just means that consider informing the driver beforehand so that you can choose a car that actually fits your gear.
One simple habit to follow when booking your taxi is to think about your bags first before you think about the seats. A sedan is best for light travel, an SUV if you need a bit more space and room to breathe, and a Maxi Taxi for big groups. There is a vehicle built just for your needs.
The simplest way to avoid last-minute scrambling is to tell us about your bags in advance so we can match you with the right vehicle.

Can I bring a bike in a Frankston taxi?
In most cases, yes – even though a boxed or partially assembled bike is much easier to carry and fit in than an assembled one. Best to mention when booking the ride so that the right vehicle is sent.
Are there any extra charges for Maxi Taxi or SUV?
Fare estimates are shown when you’re booking so that you don’t have to pay for the price you didn’t sign up for. Fares that are displayed are not based on the size of the vehicle but based on distance and time taken.
What if my luggage doesn’t fit once the taxi arrives?
It’s better to let the driver know straight away so that a more suitable vehicle can be arranged.
Or can reposition the bags properly. This can all be avoided if you inform your driver in advance.
How many bags can a Maxi taxi actually fit?
Around 8 bags can fit when all seats are packed, but when it’s a big group, it is better to count your bags and inform the driver in advance so that the right car can be matched according to your needs instead of assuming everything will fit.
Do prams or wheelchairs count in the luggage limit?
They are treated more as essential equipment rather than just extra luggage. Exactly for this reason, wheelchair accesible vehicles are available to ensure a smooth experience for those having mobility aids.
