You need a larger car for luggage or a group

Choose Premium (专车) or Luxury instead of Express, add a note, and cancel if too small.

Too small !

Express fits 1-2 light passengers only.

What you'll see

Why it happens

Express cars are sized for 1-2 light passengers. For luggage or groups, Premium, Luxury, or a 6-seat type is the right match.
