01
Quick answer
02
Seat distribution
Toyota Alphard is a 7-seater MPV, with 1 driver in the front and 6 passengers:
- Second row: 2 independent airline seats, electrically adjustable, fully flat, suitable for business travelers or long-distance travel
- Third row: 3 seats, more space than a regular SUV but more compact than the 2nd row
Cross-border private MPVs generally recommend passengers to seat 4-5 people for the most comfort. Six people can sit there, but three people in the third row will be a little crowded and the luggage space will be compressed.
03
Luggage space
Trunk (under normal passenger conditions):
| Luggage type | Amount that can be stored |
|---|---|
| 28-inch suitcase (large) | 3–4 pieces |
| 24-inch suitcase (medium) | 4–5 pieces |
| 20-inch cabin suitcase (small) | About 6 pieces |
| Mix and match | Depending on size combination |
If the third row only seats 1–2 people or is vacant:
The third row of seats can be folded to release more luggage space and can hold 2–3 more large suitcases.

Actual loading scenario reference
Scenario 1: Family of 4 people, one piece of 28-inch bag per person + small carry-on bag
→ Put 4 pieces of 28-inch ones in the trunk, put the carry-on bag at your feet or in the storage bag behind the seat, no problem at all.
Scenario 2: Business group of 6 people, each with one piece of luggage
→ If the luggage is within 24 inches, 6 pieces can be put in. 6 pieces of 28 inches will be tight. It is recommended to inform the number of luggage when making a reservation, and we will evaluate whether we need to arrange two cars.
Scene 3: 2 people bring a lot of shopping bags (heading north after shopping in Hong Kong)
→ Soft shopping bags can be used everywhere and are much more flexible than hard-shell suitcases. It is usually no problem for 2 people to carry 10 shopping bags.
Scenario 4: Bringing a stroller
→ Ordinary folding strollers can be put into the trunk. Please indicate when making a reservation for a double stroller or a large stroller to confirm whether it can be put down.

Where to put your luggage to go through customs?
All luggage should be left in the car when passing customs and does not need to be moved out. Passengers walk through the mainland immigration, and their luggage is taken care of by the driver. After passing customs, they meet at the exit and continue their departure.
Baggage does not need to go through an X-ray machine, and does not need to be opened and inspected in advance (unless customs requires it randomly).
FAQ
Questions travellers ask
What should I do if I have too much luggage that can’t fit in one car?＋
Two cars can be arranged. The two vehicles set off at the same time and pass through the border at the same time, which does not affect the efficiency of the trip.
Can I store bicycles or skateboards?＋
Folding bicycles can be accommodated, but ordinary bicycles cannot be accommodated. Skateboards (short boards) are OK, long boards depend on the length. Please indicate special items when booking and we will evaluate them.
Can golf bags be placed?＋
A standard golf bag can hold 1–2 pieces, depending on whether there are other large items of luggage. For golfing trips, inform us of the number of golf bags when making a reservation.
Is it safe to leave luggage in the car?＋
During the border clearance process, the driver will wait beside the car, and the luggage will be within the driver's sight throughout the process. Cross-border checkpoints are covered by surveillance, and it is recommended to carry valuables with you.
