It may be surprising to some how much bike and bike stuff you can fit in vehicles if you remove the wheels. My ex-GF’s small bike fit comfortably in the trunk of my Mazda Protégé along with other stuff. We transported two bikes, two large duffel bags and other stuff to a supported tour in a Camry. I’ve gotten my large, long wheel base touring bike in small vehicles. I only rent SUVs to get to the start of tours for the sake of convenience. So I can pull out the bike, attach the panniers and other gear, return the vehicle and hit the road.
