The Škoda Kodiaq 7-seater is a sensible choice for weekly rental when you regularly transport more than five people or need plenty of luggage space alongside five passengers. You'll get a diesel SUV with a 2.0 TDI engine, automatic gearbox, air conditioning and sat-nav. Before booking, however, clarify three things: how many seats you'll actually use, how many kilometres you'll cover, and how long you need the vehicle.
Who Should Hire the Kodiaq 7-Seater for Weeks
Longer rental of a seven-seater makes sense when short-term hire isn't economical and buying a car is unnecessary:
- Family on temporary stay – for example, relatives visiting who will stay for a few weeks and need to travel together.
- Company with a project – a team that moves daily to a construction site, event or client, and needs one shared vehicle.
- Waiting for your own car – a family whose vehicle is in extended servicing or awaiting delivery of a new one.
- Seasonal activities – clubs, retreats, courses or trips with children and equipment.
If you mostly travel with four people and mainly need a large boot, also consider the Škoda Kodiaq in 5-seater version or the Superb Combi. Seven seats make sense only when you'll actually use them.
Space in Practice: Seven Seats and Luggage
With seven-seater SUVs, a simple rule applies: seven people and seven suitcases won't fit. The third row is best for children and smaller adults on shorter journeys. With full occupancy, luggage space behind the seats is limited, so plan wisely for longer trips:
- with five people, fold the third row and you'll have ample boot space,
- with six to seven people, expect to use smaller bags,
- test child car seats in the specific vehicle before travel so you know where they'll fit.
Practical tip: when collecting the vehicle, familiarise yourself with how the third row folds and unfolds. With a car you'll have for weeks, it's worth knowing how to do this easily. You'll also find a general overview of the vehicle in our earlier article Škoda Kodiaq 7-seater for Hire.
Fuel Consumption and Range in General
Exact fuel consumption figures depend on driving style, load, weather and the mix of city and motorway driving, so we don't provide them here. In general:
- Large SUV with 2.0 TDI diesel typically has better fuel consumption on motorways and outside urban areas than in city driving with frequent acceleration.
- Full occupancy and luggage increase consumption, as does higher motorway speeds.
- Winter driving (heating, cold weather) also increases consumption.
- On longer distances, the diesel engine typically proves its worth through fewer fuel stops.
Practical tip: keep a record of your odometer readings and refuelling during the first week. After seven days, you'll see your actual fuel consumption and can better budget for fuel.
Kilometre Allowance for Longer Rental
The daily kilometre allowance for our vehicles decreases with rental length: the longer you hire the car, the lower your daily limit. For the Kodiaq 7-seater, we haven't specified exact figures in this article, so check the limit for your rental period in the vehicle details or confirm it with us by phone.
How to Calculate It:
- Estimate how many kilometres you'll cover in a typical week (commuting, outings, business trips).
- Divide by the number of days and compare with the limit for your planned rental period.
- If you're close to the limit, consider a different rental period or option.
For rentals from two months onwards, contract hire with 3,000 km per month allowance is also available. This suits you if you know you'll use the vehicle regularly over a longer period. For more on longer-term options, see our long-term rental page.
Things to Remember When Hiring for a Few Weeks
- Drivers: a valid driving licence, proof of identity and minimum age of 21 are required. Arrange any additional drivers in advance.
- Abroad: travel is only possible by prior arrangement and only to EU countries; roadside assistance is mandatory for foreign travel.
- Insurance: vehicles have compulsory third-party and comprehensive insurance; in case of accident, the customer pays an excess according to the insurance type.
- Deposit: the amount is shown in the vehicle details.
- Delivery: the vehicle can be delivered within Prague by prior arrangement via phone or email, which is convenient for families with children.
