Legally all a 5 seater car has to carry is
5 x 80 kgs + 30 kgs of luggage: total payload of 430kgs.
(from memory)

So say a small 5 seater car weighing 1200 kgs would have
to have a GVM of at least 1630 Kgs GVM .

Large cars, RVs etc have much bigger GVMs

You sound a smart guy, muddie: perhaps you could research
the relevant ADR and let us know what is the exact minimum
payload requirement is for a 5 seater sedan & the average weight of an occupant ...eh?
(I'm relying on memory above)

For example the GVM of a Toyota Yaris 1645 kgs
and its tare weight is approx 1200 kgs with fuel
which gives it a payload of 445 kgs .

IMO its ironic that ADRs say that the average weight of
a person is 80Kgs . That said mist lifts specify average
person at 75 Kgs!

muddie is so smart that she didn’t realise that Hertz doesn’t pay for the gas
