Kesii took her family of 7 on a road trip with KINTO

Planning a road trip can be difficult, even without the added stress of accommodating a larger group. Finding a vehicle big enough to fit everyone and spacious enough that you're not on top of each other is a challenge, as is coordinating the logistics of the trip. But KINTO makes the process easy with a range of reliable, roomy cars designed to fit everyone under one roof.

Kesii and her family of 7 recently hired a KINTO to show her family visiting from China around Australia. They had a fantastic time seeing the sights and making memories with loved ones. We'll follow Kesii's journey and understand just how KINTO helped facilitate a smooth and enjoyable family vacation.

Why Choose KINTO

It's no secret why Kesii chose KINTO when hiring a car for her family road trip. KINTO offers convenient Toyota Dealership, on-street and off-street pick-up and drop-off locations nationwide, with some even available 24/7, meaning you can hire a car whenever and wherever you need it.

KINTO makes car hire affordable with no membership fees or hidden charges. You'll know what you're paying for with transparent quotes. All bookings include fuel, insurance, maintenance, servicing and 24/7 roadside assistance. So you and your family can drive with confidence, like Kesii's.

Let’s unpack Kesii’s recent trip with KINTO

Kesii’s family was visiting from overseas, and she wanted to plan a special family getaway to remember. With a big family, Kesii needed a big car to accommodate all 7 people. They settled on the Toyota Kluger Hybrid, a spacious 7-seater AWD vehicle designed to move the family in comfort and style.

From the beginning, they were impressed with the keyless entry system, which uses Bluetooth to unlock the car. So, all you need is your smartphone to unlock and drive away. As Kesii noted, the Toyota Kluger Hybrid had excellent fuel efficiency, using only half a tank for the entire three-day trip. Its eco-friendly design didn’t compromise on power but made for a smooth and sustainable journey.

Kesii and her family benefited from the convenience KINTO offers, with a seamless pick-up and drop-off process. They praised the process as, unlike other rental companies, there is no need for pre and post-trip photos of the car, making the process hassle-free.

The Kluger’s sleek and roomy interior comfortably accommodated Kesii’s entire family, making it easy for passengers of all ages to travel together in the one vehicle. They loved having everyone under one roof, as it enhanced the bonding experience of their trip. The ability to move everyone together and the hybrid’s fuel efficiency have stuck with Kesii, making her consider a KINTO hybrid for future trips.

But don’t take it from us, hear exactly what Kesii had to say about her experience with KINTO

"KINTO turned our family getaway into a fantastic experience with their Toyota Kluger! The keyless entry was a game changer—just Bluetooth, no keys to fumble with. We were amazed by how fuel-efficient the hybrid was; we barely used half a tank over our three-day trip!
The pick-up and drop-off were super smooth, and having such a spacious and comfy car made the trip so much more enjoyable. It was wonderful to have everyone together in one vehicle, which really helped us bond as a family.
I’m so impressed that I’m seriously considering a hybrid for our next car. KINTO really delivered on making our trip special, and we’re definitely fans now!"

Hot Tips for planning a Group Roadtrip

1. Choose the Right Vehicle

When setting out on a road trip, ensure you pick the right vehicle for your group's needs. A spacious car with ample leg room and luggage space can be the difference between an enjoyable trip and one that cramps your style.

2. Pack Smart

When it comes to packing for a road trip, the motto less is more can save you. Try coordinating packing between your group to save space and avoid carting along excess luggage. You could also try sharing items or allotting a certain amount of baggage per person to avoid sitting bags on laps.

3. Plan The Trip Together

Involve the whole group in the planning process. Helping pick sightseeing destinations to stop along the way and must-eats is a great way to ensure everyone gets a say on their holiday and make the trip enjoyable for all.

4. Assign Roles

Before you leave, make sure you designate drivers to take turns throughout the trip, navigators if needed, snack pickers, and playlist finders. With KINTO, all approved members  can get behind the wheel at no extra charge so that you can share the load.

5. Stay Flexible

When road-tripping, some of the best fun can come from unplanned stops. Keep an eye out for breathtaking views and brown signs that direct you to hidden gems you won't regret stopping at. A flexible mindset from the start will keep the trip fun and stress-free.
