Hello there. Wondering which size vehicle could accommodate us. Traveling with four adult passengers, a fold-up wheelchair, and 5 pieces of luggage. Uber XL?

The Guru Take
Luggage and Passenger Capacity in Uber
You should be able to all fit in an Uber XL but it will be tight! If you only have 4 passengers you can fold down the last row of seats in an Uber XL to make room for the wheelchair and luggage but that will mean 3 adults will be squished in the back seat together. Also according to our Luggage Chart an XL will be able to fit 4-5 large suitcases or 5-6 medium suitcases. So squeezing in 5 suitcases and a wheelchair may be cutting it close though I would venture to bet you could do it! If money is not a big concern then I may suggest opting for 1 UberX ride (2 passengers) and 1 UberXL ride (2 passengers plus luggage and wheelchair) to ensure everyone is comfy.

Uber XL will be an SUV. So it kind of depends on the size of your 5 pieces of luggage. 5 full-size suitcases plus a wheelchair will be a very tight fit in the back of an SUV. Maybe possible...
If you are in a reasonably populated area, and have a little flexibility on time, then what I would probably do is order the Uber XL. If you don't all fit, then order an Uber X at that time, and one or two of you stay behind to wait for it.
we have 3 adults, 3 carryon luggage, one folding wheelchair. What size uber/lyft do we need? Thanks.
Yeah, there is no way you'd fit in an UberX with all that luggage. If you have a four passengers, that means all seats are full.
