Florida van hire

[jonny996]

Why reinvent the wheel, so whats the PH's view on mini van hire in florida, needs to sit 8 (other family non drivers) & as it is 2 centre need bag space.

Like the idea of 4 captians chairs for adults then a bench for 4 kids but dont think that is avalible, what have you used? dont want a school bus like thing.

8 seaters are available why don't you just do a search on the car rental companies and see what they have to offer. If you like the look of any google that vehicle for more details but they are pretty much similar.

you will need a second vehicle to carry the luggage. Seriously they may sit 8 but there is no luggage space

Alamo do the Toyota Sienna.

It's really a 2+2+3, however you can add a seat in the middle row to make it 2+3+3..

AIUI the boot is still big enough for a fair amount of luggage with all seats upright.

I've booked a full size SUV twice now, one in LA with Dollar and the other in Tampa with Thrifty, they both list it as a Chevy Tahoe or similar but I've ended up with a Chevy Suburban both times (basically a long wheelbase Tahoe, it's got 3 rows of seats and can seat 9 if you get one with the front bench seat plus there's room behind the 3rd row for your luggage.

The site I've got my pictures uploaded to is playing up at the moment so I've lifted these from the the net.


Both the ones I've had were base model with 3 rows of 3 seats, like this:

The middle seat in the front folds down to become an armrest if not needed.

A couple of my mates hired a minivan to do a road trip and they ended up with some of their luggage on the seats as there wasn't enough boot space and that was with just 5 people in the car.
