Does anyone know the dimensions of the boot space of a Renault Scenic. We are going to be hiring one and are trying to work out how many cases we can fit in.

    What does the rental company advise, they might reserve the right to change the model of the vehicle.

    I had one last year, the boot is good, but you may get a different vehicle with a smaller boot.
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.

    They're quite large. You should get at least 4-5 large cases in if you're only using 5 of the 7 seats.

    Thanks, I think the one we're hiring is the 5 seater version. The website does indicate that it should seat 5 people and have room for 2 large & 3 smaller suitcases, but i am not sure what they think is large or small. We are hoping to fit in 5 people with accompanying luggage.

    HI,
    I would not be at all surprised if the rental company change the vehicle. We have booked a scenic twice & the 1st time got a Pugeot 307sw & the second time a Toyota Corolla Estate. The model of car that is quoted on hire companies documentation/websites is always only a representative vehicle.

    We used to have a 5 seater scenic and the boot would hold 2 x 30" suitcases then you've just got space for maybe up to 3 pull along flight cases, but it doesn't hold that much. Don't know where you're hiring the car but when we were in the USA the same luggage we could fit in the scenic fitted confortably in a 4 door compact car!! Their boots are huge I couldn't believe it, I was execting to have a case on the back seat, when I turned round to check on DS I thought OH had forgotten to put the suitcase in.

    Thanks for replies, we are hiring in France, I appreciate that the car may not be a Scenic, but was hoping that whatever they give us will not be any smaller.

    If you have Samsonite suicases you can only get two in the boot without folding down the seats,there is a fair amount of space left for "soft " bags but there is no room for any other suitcases.
    If you have 5 adults and 5 cases get something bigger.

    If you need more space, the rear compartment lifting lid will come off and store behind the seats. You can then stand the cases on end as long as you don't mind them being partly visible.

  • Hi there,

    We have found that the only way we can fit 5 of us in a hire car plus the amount of luggage that 5 people require is to hire a 9 seater - normally a Vito/or other transit size make. This is normally a lot cheaper then renting scenic/multipla etc.

    My last car was a 5 seat scenic and we struggled to get 5 passengers and 2 large samsonite suitcases in the boot...

    Happy hols
