01
Bring your real requirements
Count regular passengers, child seats and luggage. A stated seat count does not prove that your particular child seats or pram fit. Try the doors, restraints and luggage space in person.
02
Check current safety information
Look up the exact model and year on Rightcar and note which rating type and year applies. Ask about safety equipment on this specific vehicle rather than assuming it from the model badge.
03
Inspect and test drive
Check visibility, parking, tyres, service history and any warning lights. An independent inspection is available if you want another assessment before committing.
Can every regular passenger get in and out comfortably?
