subject: Car Hire - 7 Seaters & People Carriers [print this page] When looking for a 7-seater car hire, you may want to consider the same factors as you might if you were looking to buy. You would probably want as many accommodating features as possible in order to meet lifestyle demands and accommodate day-to-day activities while on your trip.
Key benefits are engine power and roominess. A spacious interior provides increased space for mobility and comfortable leg space. It also counts in the luggage department! If you have the need for 7 people, you had better make sure that includes enough space for 7 people's luggage as well. Typically you may want to consider a larger vehicle (9-seater) if you are touring a certain region, or possibly hire a car for the days of arrival and departure just to haul the entire load of luggage back and forth.
Depending on the size of your group (you may need something larger than a 7-seater)), minivans are probably the most useful vehicles that have ever been made. The amount of people coupled with the cargo space and seating options make them like no other vehicle that has ever been produced.
Here are some of the 7-seaters you may want to consider (SUV's, Mini-Vans, and Crossover's):
*Mercedes Viano Automatic
*Mercedes Vito Automatic
*Ford S Max 5+2-seater
*Vauxhall Zafira 5+2-seater
*Volkswagen Multi-Van
*Volkswagen Caddy 5+2-seater
*Mitsubishi Grandis 5+2-seater
*Citroen C4 Picasso 7-seater
*Kia Sedona 5+2-seater
*Mitsubishi Grandis 5+2-seater

*Chrysler Voyager

*Citroen C8
*Toyota Previa

While car hire companies in most of the larger cities and airports boast a wide inventory with at least an average chance of getting the vehicle you want, it is always possible (sometimes probable) that you will wind up with an alternative to your preference. If you need a "people carrier" demand is high and it's most important to book your car hire far in advance not only to secure the best rate, but to make sure you have an average chance in receiving the vehicle you want.
Picking out the truck, minivan, minibus, or SUV that you and your family or group would prefer will require some due diligence. When searching to find the 7-seater that best meets your needs, it always pays to comparison shop (until you drop). It will usually save you a bundle!
Just one important thing to remember! No matter how much you may want a particular make or model, no car hire company will guarantee the make or model, only the group.
