A “large amount of luggage” might mean two big cases or a combination of cabin bags, a pushchair, soft bags and equipment. For chauffeur transport, the phrase is too vague. A simple inventory is more useful than descriptions such as normal or standard.
In Lyon, this preparation is especially relevant to station arrivals, airport transfers, families and mountain departures. The right vehicle depends on the simultaneous volume of people and objects.
List suitcases and oversized items
Count large cases, cabin bags, small bags, pushchairs and long objects separately. State unusual dimensions where possible. A photograph can support the description but does not replace the exact number of items.
- Number of large suitcases
- Cabin cases and small bags
- Pushchairs, folding aids and child equipment
- Skis, instruments and professional material
- Adult and child passengers
- Luggage added at another stop
Leave the station or airport with your luggage
Allow time to gather, move and load belongings without obstructing a station or hotel entrance. At the airport, baggage reclaim makes actual exit later than landing. Report a missing case and follow the meeting instructions provided.
Supply the most practical access without inventing a stopping area. A residence, hotel or station can have several entrances. For an intermediate stop, say whether luggage is added or removed so the final load remains clear.
Passengers, pushchairs and the space actually needed
Every occupied seat reduces flexibility inside the passenger compartment. Count children as passengers and declare their equipment. If several people book together, appoint somebody to compile a single list.
Choose the category after making the inventory. A saloon can suit some lightly equipped travellers; a van or higher capacity may suit a substantial load. OR DRIVE must check the actual vehicle and cannot infer volume from one adjective.
Load and count belongings again at drop-off
Group the pieces, close bags and keep documents, medicine and valuables with you. Do not add equipment without notice. Before leaving the vehicle, recount belongings against your own inventory.
Frequently asked questions
Must every suitcase be measured?
The number and general format are often enough, but supply dimensions for an unusual object.
