Upplands Väsby to Arlanda: The Family Holiday Departure
Updated 3 min read
A family leaving Upplands Väsby for a school-holiday trip usually isn't short of information about the flight — check-in time, gate, boarding group — but is often short on one specific thing: which car will actually fit four suitcases, a pushchair and the children's car seats without anyone perching a bag on their lap for the drive.
This is about answering that question properly, by luggage rather than by guesswork, so the right category is booked from the start instead of discovered too small in the driveway.

How the luggage-unit rule actually works
Every vehicle category has one combined luggage budget — a large checked case counts as two units against it, a cabin bag as one — plus a cap on how many large cases fit, whatever the budget allows. For a family holiday, that arithmetic adds up fast: four large suitcases alone is already eight units, before cabin bags or a pushchair are counted.
- Standard, Electric and Business: 4 passengers, a 6-unit luggage budget — at most 4 pieces, of which at most 2 large (2 large + 2 cabin, 1 large + 3 cabin, or 4 cabin)
- SUV / XL: 6 passengers, 10-unit luggage budget, up to 4 large cases
- Minibus: 8 passengers, 18-unit luggage budget, up to 8 large cases
When to move up to SUV / XL
Four large suitcases for a family holiday is more than the Standard category can take at all — it carries at most two large cases within a 6-unit budget. This is exactly the situation the SUV / XL category exists for: six seats, a 10-unit budget and up to four large cases, with genuine room for a full holiday load plus a pushchair confirmed separately.
The pushchair and car seats
A folded pushchair doesn't count neatly against the luggage-unit budget, so mention it separately in your booking notes and we confirm by message before pickup that the car has room for it. For children aged 0 to 3, request a child seat in the booking form itself — tell us the child's age and the right seat is fitted before pickup, with nothing to bring or install yourself.
Booking the trip
Enter your route and choose the category that matches your passenger count and luggage — enter your bags on the booking page and it tells you which cars they fit in, so you can see it works before you pay rather than hoping it does. The price for the Upplands Väsby route is fixed and shown before you book, for the whole car regardless of how many are travelling.

Questions people ask before booking
Will a Standard car fit our family and four suitcases?
No — a Standard car takes at most two large cases (6 units, 4 pieces in total), and four large cases alone is eight units. The SUV / XL category, with a 10-unit budget and room for up to four large cases, is the one to book.
Can I request a car seat for a young child?
Yes — tell us the child's age (0–3) in the booking form and we fit the right seat before pickup.
How do I make sure the pushchair fits too?
Mention it separately in your booking notes — we confirm by message before pickup that the car we're sending has room for it, rather than leaving it to be discovered at pickup.
Does the price change based on how much luggage we bring?
The price depends on the vehicle category you choose, shown before you book — not on the exact bag count within that category's budget.
What if we end up with more bags than we planned?
Mention it in the notes when you book, or contact us as soon as you realise — we'd rather move you to a bigger category, re-quoted for that car, than have it discovered at the door.
