Will a 4 door Wrangler hold 4 adults and 4 suitcases?
forget whom you are "planning" to rent from on stt, discount or dependable, we've used both several times and pleased with vehicles and service. had 2 couples 4 times, 2 grand vitaras from dependable and twice 4 dr liberty from discount and had plenty of room for luggae everytime. on 1 trip with 4 checked bags and 1 good sized soft carryon, that bag had to ride between back seat passengers. while liberty seemed to have a little more room than vitara, the liberty seemed a little underpowered, but old folks like slow.
on your thoughts about renting a 2 dr jeep on stj for 4, big mistake because you will have no room for beach chairs, bags and mainly a big cooler for all the needed adult beverages! even if you go light to beaches, (& why would you?) the ones whom ride in back seat will need to be little winkers with plenty of flexibility. when just me and bride, we rent a 2dr jeep. bride is 5ft 100 lbs, she did back seat behind driver one day to get out of "death seat" up front. on way back to villa she claimed the shotgun seat and explained she'd rather die in a crash with the concrete truck than get in back seat of jeep again. remember though she has been on medicare 2 years. if there's anything old folks like better than slow, it's roomy!

Chances are the villa greeter might allow you to place some of your luggage in their vehicle (not a guarantee though) so that might help.
Worst case you could always tag team. Leave a person behind to do grocery shopping and they can come back for them later after dropping people and luggage off at the villa.

Heres a link with a picture of the four door jeeps cargo space...Just like RidgeRunner said...you will have plenty of room for four large suitcases...like I indicated in my earlier post, this is what we plan on renting for our July trip...there will be four adults and one child...plenty of space...although we are carry on only travelers...which helps...kristen1206 wrote:Thank you RidgeRunner! Hubby has conceded to the Wrangler (I love winning ) if it's a little tight, we'll deal with it. It's only the initial ride to the villa and back that we have to worry about anyway.

This summer we rented a 4 door Wrangler from Dependable and took the car barge to STJ. We were a group of 5 adults and were all able to fit with luggage and an extra suitcase that I had packed with food. We have also rented a Jeep Liberty and I really didn't see much difference with either car. The 3 adults in the back seat seemed fine for room and we spent a lot of time driving around the island.

I don't quite understand the replys about the back of a 4D Wrangler being small. It is larger than that of a Tahoe if the 3rd row is in.
And seats folding? Perhaps there was once a different version but beginning around 2008 a new model was introduced called the Wrangler Unlimited with 4 doors plus a rear area just a little smaller than what you find in a 4-Runner.
