🚗 SIMAMEGURI RENT-A-CAR HOKKAIDO｜Car Guide #02
Corolla 4WD｜Easy to drive, stable and practical for driving in Hokkaido🚙❄️

① What kind of car is it?
Toyota Corolla, 5-seater compact car・4WD

② Why choose this car?
It has a practical size that is easy to drive and park, plus the added stability of 4WD. It is a very practical choice for long-distance driving in Hokkaido and trips where you may encounter different road conditions.

③ The most important question: How much luggage can it hold?
We will introduce the luggage capacity for 2, 3, 4 and 5 passengers.

④ A hidden advantage for 2-person trips
As a 5-seater, the rear seats can also be used flexibly when travelling with two people, allowing you to arrange the interior space according to the amount of luggage.

❄️ When renting a car in Hokkaido, does bigger always mean better?
“Since the driving distances in Hokkaido are so long, should we rent a bigger car?”
“Is 4WD better for travelling around Hokkaido?”
“We are only 2–3 people. Do we really need an SUV or a large car?”
Not necessarily!

For the second Hokkaido car guide, we are introducing the Toyota Corolla 4WD!

The Corolla is a 5-seater compact car with a practical size that is neither too big nor too small.
For a 2–4 person trip in Hokkaido, the Corolla is a very practical choice if you want a car that is easy to drive, has enough space, and offers the stability of 4WD.
When travelling around Hokkaido, you may visit not only Sapporo, but also Otaru, Furano, Biei, Asahikawa, Noboribetsu and other destinations, which often means travelling long distances.
With the Corolla 4WD, you can enjoy the stable driving feel that 4WD provides when dealing with different road conditions during your Hokkaido trip.
Of course, 4WD does not mean that the car will never slip on snowy roads.
When driving in Hokkaido during winter, use studless winter tires, reduce your speed, and drive safely according to the road conditions❄️

🧳 So, how much luggage can it hold?

👫 2 people＋🧳More luggage
👉 When travelling with two people, the rear seats can also be used flexibly, so there is relatively more space even when you have more luggage.
Approximately 2 large 28-inch suitcases＋1–2 20-inch carry-on suitcases.

👨‍👩‍👧 3 people＋🧳Luggage
👉 For three people, the rear seats are mainly kept for passengers, while luggage is stored mainly in the trunk.
Approximately 1 28-inch suitcase＋1 24-inch suitcase＋1–2 20-inch suitcases, depending on the size of your luggage.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 4 people＋🧳Luggage
👉 With four passengers, the rear seats need to be kept for passengers, so the available luggage space is more limited.
Approximately 1 28-inch suitcase＋2–3 20-inch suitcases.
If everyone has a large suitcase, the interior may feel a little tight.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 5 people＋🧳Lots of large luggage
👉 At this point, it may be better not to make the Corolla work too hard😂
If five people are travelling with several large 28-inch suitcases, we recommend choosing a vehicle one size larger for greater comfort.

Hokkaido trips often involve long-distance driving, so when choosing a car, it is important to consider not only the number of passengers, but also “people＋luggage＋driving distance”.
Of course, suitcase sizes, thicknesses and shapes vary, so the above is only a practical reference example🧳

Not sure whether your luggage will fit? Feel free to contact us😊
Just tell us “number of people＋number of suitcases＋suitcase sizes”
and we can help you check which vehicle would be the best fit for your trip!
