I rented from Alamo and we had our choice of any van from the Minivan area. We ultimately chose the Chrysler Town & Country for that exact reason (the extra Stow 'n' Go compartment space) over the Toyota Sienna, Nissan Quest and one or two other models sitting in the area. We used every inch of space in every compartment (those Stow 'n' Go compartments came in handy! they hold about six or eight bottles of wine each ), but it was still tight--and we were a bunch of FlyerTalkers who know how to travel light. (Most of us had smallish weekender duffel bags.)

I'd be a little skeptical that you'd be able to get as much as you say you have in one of those vans...
