Just picked one up today from Budget - Ford Expedition - If you are going to utilise all 3 rows of seats then there is not much room left for luggage. I would say you would get 1 suitcase in behind the 3rd row of seats and it would need to be a thin one.

This has worried me a bit. Anyone got any pictures? THe Ford Website only lists the EL model (extra length).

Roger, which models do Budget hire? Do they just keep the Expedition, or do they have other models, perhaps with more luggage space if all seats are used?

There are several model of 8 seater SUV (Excursion and Expedition) with large or small length. In most cases it is the larger version but this can not be requested or guaranteed.

Hi Alex

What was the reason for changing your expedition for a excursion? How does the luggage space compare when all seats are in use?

i was looking for the $50 tank of free petrol the price being the same
for a singe rental or two seperate rentals.
there is very little luggage space when all seats are up 1 case only
we used for a trip for 4 golfers going to hilton head had 4 sets of
clubs and 4 large cases.
all features in the expedition were electric including putting the back seats down.

We had an Expedition from Budget. With all the seats up and in use there was room for 1 suitcase standing up behind the rear seats.

Hi,Are the back row of seats the same height as the front 2 rows or is it closer to the floor?

I am so interested in this subject, trying to arrange a car for June but I also have a wheelchair to transport, is SUV high to get into? And can the seats be folded down? If so individually or together???

I would be so grateful if someone could answer these questions for me.
