Finding the right car is like choosing the perfect pair of shoes. You'll need enough space and the right style to accommodate your plans. The right car should also feel like the perfect fit, and with KINTO, it can.

KINTO has a fleet of Toyota vehicles to suit your lifestyle, getting you from A to B with hassle-free hire.  If you’re on the lookout for a car rental near you, KINTO has a fleet of sleek and stylish cars for all types of trips.

We’re covering what types of vehicles suit different trips and users to give you the inside scoop on which KINTO is best for your hire needs.

What to consider when choosing a KINTO

KINTO is a convenient car hire service with locations across Australia. Our service provides members with access to a range of Toyota car rentals to suit plans big and small.

What should you consider when choosing which KINTO vehicle to hire?

Boot space

The best match for your needs will depend on your plans. If your plans involve sporting equipment, grocery shopping, or picking up click-and-collect orders, a car with a larger boot space would be better suited.

Alternatively, if you just need a car to get yourself to and from meetings while traveling interstate, for running errands, or going out for dinner with your partner, a more compact vehicle would be suitable.

Number of seats

Who’s coming along for the ride? More passengers will mean a hire car with more seats or space is needed, so no one’s squished into the middle seat for a long trip.

Hire length

Is the car hire time short or long-term? Shorter hire times may be more suitable for smaller vehicles, making them a more cost-effective option. Long-term hires may require more space depending on your lifestyle.

Which car size is right for you?

Let’s break down our KINTO vehicles to see the benefits of each car size and which uses they may be best suited to.

Compact cars & hatches

If you’re looking for a no-fuss car to get from A to B, then a compact car or hatchback might be what you’re after.

Benefits of compact cars & hatches

  • Easier to park in tight spaces
  • Suited to solo travellers or a couple
  • Good boot space for its size

Mid-size cars & sedans

For those who need a little more space than a compact car, a mid-sized vehicle may be right for you. They offer a balance of space for passengers and luggage, without the need for a large car.

  • Spacious interior
  • More comfort on longer drives
  • Versatile seating configurations to suit your plans

SUVs & large cars

If you need more space for a longer drive or to accommodate more luggage, consider a larger car.  

Benefits of SUVs & large cars

  • More spacious interior
  • Can fit passengers and baggage comfortably
