Minivan for rent

What should I consider when renting a minivan?

Minivans, which usually seat 7-8 people, are particularly popular with larger groups or families with more family members. Minivans differ from minibuses in that they are slightly more compact and have less space for luggage.

It is recommended that you take note of the following points before booking a minivan:

Seats. As different models may have different seating arrangements, it is advisable to take into account the number of passengers travelling in the car and their needs before making a reservation. Don't forget to check whether there is enough space for luggage.

Equipment. The car's equipment is also very important for a comfortable journey, so it is important to make sure that it meets your needs.

Driver requirements. Often rental companies have different conditions for drivers who rent a minivan. It is advisable to review and understand the conditions of the rental company before making your booking. 

Toll charges. There are a number of countries that have road tolls for larger cars. Check whether there are any problems when travelling with a minivan.

These are just a few suggestions on what to look out for when booking a car. 

What can affect the cost of minivan hire?

Minivan hire is a cost-effective option because you can book one spacious car instead of several and save money by sharing the cost of the hire between passengers if it is a group of friends or colleagues.

The following factors can affect the rental price:

Duration of the reservation. For short-term rentals, minivans can be booked for a day, a few days, a week or a month, depending on demand. As with other types of car, minivans may also be eligible for special offers or discounts when booked for longer periods such as a week or a month. 

Pick-up/return location. The final rental price can often be higher if the car is picked up or returned at the airport or its surroundings due to additional charges. This is only convenient on arrival, but it may be cheaper to reserve a car away from the airport. Do not forget that the journey from the airport to the pick-up point may cost extra.

Minivan make/model. As there are many different models of minivans available, this can also have an impact on the rental price. Volkswagen Sharan, Caddy Maxi Estate, Seat Alhambra, Opel Zafira, Peugeot Traveller are the most popular choices. All of these models can also vary in price depending on the model or year of manufacture.
