For 4 people with 4 bags, choose an Intermediate car, such as a Kia Sportage, at WAW: it averages £39 a day for November 2026 when booked around a month before your trip. It seats 5 but takes 4 bags, so check luggage if every seat is occupied; stepping down to a Compact car, such as a Ford Focus, reduces capacity to 3 bags at £26 a day for November 2026. A Fullsize car, such as a Toyota Camry, averages £56 a day at the same lead time for November 2026 but still takes 4 bags, so it does not solve a luggage shortfall. 59% of cars offered over the last 12 months are automatic, so you have a broad choice to filter for; for Intermediate cars across all batches, automatics average £51 a day against £42 for manuals, £9 more a day. Hybrids account for 5% of cars offered over the last 12 months and none are electric, so filter specifically if you want a hybrid rather than assuming your chosen car will be one.
