Traveling with a Lot of Luggage: Golf Bags, Diving Gear, and Other Bulky Items

Bar sits close enough to golf courses, dive sites, and long stretches of coastline that a fair number of visitors arrive with gear that doesn't fit neatly into a normal suitcase. If that's you, a little planning ahead makes the ride smoother for everyone.

Say something before the car arrives, not after

This is the single most useful thing you can do: when you book through the app, use the order notes field to mention what you're bringing, a golf bag, a full set of dive gear, a bike, anything larger or more awkward than standard luggage. Our walkthrough of the booking process covers exactly where that field is and how to use it. Flagging it ahead of time means there are no surprises for the driver and no scrambling at the curb.

Don't assume a specific vehicle size

It's worth asking directly what to expect for large items rather than assuming a particular vehicle type will show up. Fleet specifics vary, and confirming ahead of time, especially if you've got something unusually large or fragile, is a better bet than guessing.

Group items when you can

If there are multiple people traveling together with a combined pile of gear, dive bags for two, golf clubs for a foursome, it's worth mentioning the total volume when you book rather than the individual items. That gives a clearer picture of what's actually showing up at pickup.

This matters even more with kids in the mix

Families traveling with children often underestimate how much luggage accumulates, strollers, extra bags, beach gear. If that's your situation, our post on traveling with kids has more on planning for a fuller car.

If you're settling in for a while

Visitors staying longer sometimes arrive with more than a typical holiday's worth of belongings, sports equipment, work gear, or just more suitcases than a week-long trip would need. If that's you, planning a longer stay in Bar has more on how taxis fit into life here beyond the initial arrival.

The short version

Bulky gear isn't a problem, it's just something worth mentioning ahead of time. A quick note when you book, rather than a surprise at pickup, is the difference between a smooth ride and an awkward few minutes of rearranging.
