How much luggage fits?
Three suitcases in the sedan, one per passenger in the Hyundai H1 minivan. If you are carrying bulky items, tell us when booking so we assign the right vehicle.
Do you travel at night?
Yes, though for long legs daytime is better: you see the landscape and border posts keep more predictable hours. If you need an overnight departure we arrange it anyway.

With a 30% deposit that holds the date and the vehicle. Card, bank transfer, digital wallet or crypto all work. The balance is due on the day of travel.
