Although US vehicles tend to have more interior room than UK ones, the boot (trunk) is usually smaller and there is generally less luggage space.

Only you know how much luggage your group will be taking but, if it's a lot or you have 'hard' suitcases, you would be better advised to get a vehicle at least two persons capacity larger than your group. That way, you get extra seat and floor space for your luggage. With a group size of 15, this would mean a minimum of 2 x 8 seater vehicles although 1 x 12 and 1 x 7 might be a better configuration. There are NO luggage racks available for US rental vehicles!

The only other way to fit everything in is to limit the size and type of luggage your party will be taking. If you are renting a Florida home, you will have a huge washer and dryer in the home so taking lots of clothes is not necessary as you can wash and dry them in a few hours. Don't forget you will also need some extra space in your luggage to take home your bargain purchases!
