    Any cyclists out there that own an Opel Zafira that can confirm if it can take two boxed bicycles?

    Seems so from this article:

    Are you sure that's the actual car you're getting? I've rented dozens of cars and more often than not the actual car you get is similar size but from a different manufacturer than the one advertised.

    I think i got three comfortably in a Scenic (similar or smaller size) and last year got one box plus a family plus luggage:P, so think you'll have no problem

    Thanks DinaElla, I will really appreciate it.

    The 2 boxes is 1.36m long, 0.76m high and 0.2m wide.

    Like the others mentioned, one might get an "or similar" car, but I prefer to do everything possible from my side. At the end of the day, if it is different car and it don't fit, then you argue/upgrade/cycle :(

    ok, just measured it with the back seats down and the drivers and passengers seats pushed back most of the way.

    Length (boot clear to drivers seat) is 1.80 leaving some room
    Width (side door to side door) 1.22 leaving some room
    Height to roof - .900 (3 feet) but does taper at seats

    hope that helps
