Luxury sedan: up to 3 passengers
The sedan is the workhorse of Seattle car service and the right answer far more often than people expect. Three passengers, comfortably, with room for standard airline luggage in the trunk.
It is the correct choice for a solo business traveller heading downtown, a couple going to dinner, or a small family with one child. Where it goes wrong is luggage: three passengers each with a large checked bag plus a carry-on will fill a sedan trunk. If that describes your trip, move up to an SUV.
See the full spec on the luxury sedan service page, or read our comparison of sedan versus SUV if you are on the line between the two.
Luxury SUV: up to 6 passengers
Six passengers, generous luggage space, and enough ground clearance for the parts of Washington where the weather has opinions. The SUV is the default for families, for ski trips, and for any group arriving at Sea-Tac with more than a carry-on each.
One practical note specific to Seattle: if your trip involves Snoqualmie Pass, Crystal Mountain, or anywhere east in winter, the SUV is not a luxury upgrade, it is the operational requirement. Book accordingly.

Stretch limousine: up to 10 passengers
A stretch limo seats up to ten, but the seating is bench-style and perimeter-facing — designed for conversation, not for long-haul comfort. Ten passengers in a stretch is genuinely ten passengers; it is not a polite maximum.
What a stretch does not have is meaningful luggage space. If your ten people are heading to the airport, you want a Sprinter van. If your ten people are heading from a hotel to a reception venue with nothing but handbags, the stretch is exactly right.

Luxury van and Sprinter: up to 14 passengers
This is the most misunderstood vehicle in the fleet, largely because “Sprinter van” means two completely different things depending on who is searching. Some people mean a self-drive rental. Others mean a chauffeured executive van with leather seating, climate zones, and a driver.
Kamo Limo operates the second kind. Up to 14 passengers, full luggage capacity, and a chauffeur — which makes it the correct vehicle for corporate teams, cruise transfers to the Seattle piers, Woodinville wine tours, and any group that would otherwise be split across three sedans.
The economics matter here. Fourteen people in three sedans costs more than fourteen people in one van, and it puts your group in three separate conversations. See the luxury Sprinter van service page and the Mercedes Sprinter fleet detail.
The luggage question nobody asks until it is too late
Passenger capacity and usable capacity are not the same number. A vehicle rated for six passengers is rated for six passengers and their normal daily belongings, not six passengers each with a hard-shell suitcase and a set of golf clubs.
A simple rule that holds up well:
- One checked bag per passenger — book to the stated capacity.
- Two checked bags per passenger, or any oversized items — drop one capacity tier, or tell us when you book so we can size it properly.
- Ski, snowboard, golf, or instrument cases — always flag these at booking. They change the vehicle recommendation more than passenger count does.
If you are unsure, put it in the notes field on the quote form. It costs nothing and it is the difference between a smooth pickup and a reshuffle at the curb.
Special cases: car seats, pets, and accessibility
Children and car seats. Washington State law governs child restraints regardless of vehicle class. Tell us the ages of any children travelling and we will confirm what is required and what we can provide. Note that a car seat occupies a full passenger position.
Pets. Kamo Limo runs pet-friendly transportation in Seattle. A crated pet takes up meaningful space; count it as a passenger when sizing.
Accessibility needs. Contact us directly through the contact page rather than booking online, so we can match the vehicle to the requirement properly.
Size your booking in thirty seconds
- Count every passenger, including infants and anyone joining part-way through the trip.
- Count checked bags. If the number of bags exceeds the number of passengers, move up one tier.
- Add oversized items — skis, golf, strollers, instruments, event equipment.
- Decide whether the group needs to stay together. If yes, one larger vehicle beats two smaller ones on both cost and experience.
- Check the final number against the table above, then request a quote or make a reservation.
