What Category Does My Vehicle Qualify For?
When you register your vehicle with Ridyne, your vehicle category is determined by vehicle type, passenger capacity, luggage capacity, vehicle age and safety rating.
The category is not based simply on the badge or price of the vehicle. Your make, model and year must meet the minimum requirements below.
Step 1, Find Your Vehicle Type
SEDAN
Minimum advertised boot capacity: 450 litres
Passenger capacity: Up to 4 passengers + driver
Luggage allowance:
2 checked bags
2 carry on bags
Comfort Sedan requirement:
Your specific make, model and year must have a manufacturer advertised boot capacity of at least 450 litres, measured with the passenger seating in its normal operating position.
Example benchmark: Toyota Camry
Toyota currently advertises up to 524 litres of boot space for the Camry, providing a useful benchmark for the Comfort Sedan category.
SUV
Minimum advertised boot capacity: 550 litres
Passenger capacity: Up to 4 passengers + driver
Luggage allowance: 3 checked bags 3 carry on bags
Comfort SUV requirement:
Your specific make, model and year must have a manufacturer advertised luggage capacity of at least 550 litres, measured with the passenger seating in its normal operating position.
Example benchmarks: Toyota RAV4, Mitsubishi Outlander and equivalent SUVs.
The vehicle must meet the 550 litre minimum for the applicable make, model and year. A vehicle cannot qualify simply because another year or variant of the same model has a larger boot.
PEOPLE MOVER
Minimum advertised luggage capacity: 600 litres
Passenger capacity: Up to 6 passengers + driver
Luggage allowance: 4 checked bags 4 carry on bags
Comfort People Mover requirement:
Your specific make, model and year must have a manufacturer advertised luggage capacity of at least 600 litres with all passenger seats in their normal operating position.
Example benchmark: Kia Carnival
Kia advertises 627 litres of luggage capacity with all seats up, making the Carnival an appropriate benchmark for the minimum People Mover standard.
Quick Vehicle Category Guide
| Vehicle Type | Minimum Advertised Boot / Luggage Capacity | Passengers + Driver | Checked Bags | Carry On Bags |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan |
450 L minimum | 4 + driver | 2 | 2 |
| SUV |
550 L minimum | 4 + driver | 3 | 3 |
| People Mover |
600 L minimum | 6 + driver | 4 | 4 |
Important
The litre figure above is the minimum advertised luggage capacity required for the category.
Your vehicle must meet or exceed the applicable minimum based on the manufacturer’s published specification for your exact make, model and year.
Ridyne may request supporting vehicle specifications where required.
Do not use a boot capacity figure achieved by folding down passenger seats.
Passenger seating must remain available in its normal operating configuration.
What About Hatchbacks?
Hatchback, Everyday Category Only
Hatchbacks are available only under the Everyday Ride category.
Luggage: Carry on luggage only
Checked luggage: 
Not permitted
Stops: No intermediate stops
A hatchback cannot be registered as a Comfort, Corporate or Chauffeur vehicle.
Vehicle Safety Requirement
All vehicles operating through Ridyne must meet the required safety standard.
Minimum requirement:
5 Star ANCAP Safety Rating
The rating must apply to the vehicle’s applicable make, model and variant.
Drivers should check their vehicle against the official ANCAP database before submitting their vehicle for approval.
ANCAP provides safety ratings for individual makes, models and variants, including current and superseded vehicles.
Vehicle Age Requirement
All Ridyne vehicles must be no more than 8 years old based on the vehicle’s year of first registration.
Eligibility is assessed by calendar year, not by the individual day or month the vehicle was registered.
Example:
| First Registration | Eligible Until |
|---|---|
| 2017 | 31 December 2025 |
| 2018 | 31 December 2026 |
| 2019 | 31 December 2027 |
| 2020 | 31 December 2028 |
Therefore:
A vehicle first registered on 1 January 2018 → eligible until 31 December 2026.
A vehicle first registered on 31 December 2018 → eligible until 31 December 2026.
A vehicle first registered on 30 December 2017 → eligibility ended 31 December 2025.
From 1 January 2027, a 2018 vehicle will no longer meet the 8 year vehicle age requirement.
Your Vehicle Eligibility Checklist
Before submitting your vehicle, make sure it meets all applicable requirements:
☐ Correct vehicle type, Sedan, SUV or People Mover
☐ Meets the minimum advertised luggage capacity
☐ Can accommodate the stated passenger and luggage allowance
☐ Vehicle is no more than 8 years old under the calendar year rule
☐ Applicable make, model and variant has a 5 Star ANCAP safety rating
☐ Vehicle is appropriately presented and maintained
☐ Vehicle documentation can be provided if requested
The Simple Rule
Your vehicle’s make, model and year determines its physical capability.
Ridyne then matches that capability to the appropriate Ride Category and service level.
The vehicle itself doesn’t become a different vehicle because the customer books Corporate rather than Chauffeur. The service level changes, while the underlying vehicle, passenger and luggage capability remains compliant with the vehicle standards.
If you are interested and you and your vehicle meet the above criteria then please read on……….

- Commercial Vehicle Insurance : Commercial Vehicle Insurance specifically for Hire & Reward ie, transporting fare-paying passengers
