FAQ

What does capacity mean:
Karhoo is displaying the minimum that the Fleet is able to guarantee. E.g. a VW Passat with 4 Passengers only has room for an additional 2 large suitcases.

When do I receive the actual vehicle model:
The vehicle category (Saloon, Exec etc.) is part of every quote response. The actual make and model will be sent once a Driver is on Route (Status: Driver en-route)
