What type of vehicle for 5 of us?

[longing4disney]

We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids (15,13 and 6). We will be renting a vehicle for the second half of our holiday when we move from WDW to Universal. will return the car at MCO. My question is will a std SUV or full size sedan be able to accommodate 5 of us and our 4 luggages and 2 cabin bags? Will we need a 7 seater instead?

We are a family of 5 and always go with the minivan for sure.

We are a family of 5 as well, and always rent either a minivan or large SUV. We drive an Explorer at home, and that is the size that works for us and our luggage if that helps!

Thanks mom2cgj and webworm.
Looks like we'll go with the minivan.

A large sedan, ie: Impala, should accomodate you quite well. 18+cf trunk, it is quite large.

Mom2cgj, now that I check the budget website again, I am considering between the ford explorer and the mini van. Since the explorer is cheaper. Just wondering if there are 5 of us, can the third row of the explorer be folded down to create more luggage space. We will have at least 4 luggages and 2 cabin bags so we need pretty large space for our bags. Yes, I am planning a shopping spree this trip

Yes the 3rd seat in the explorer can be folded down.
