Tips for renting minivans

Minivan vs. SUV for groups

For 7 people plus luggage, a minivan usually beats a same-size SUV on interior space and access. SUVs win on style and AWD; minivans win on practicality.

Book early for summer

Minivans are a limited part of most fleets and sell out first on summer weekends. Reserve as far ahead as you can.

Minivan rental FAQs

Most rental minivans seat 7, with some 8-passenger models. If you need more, look at a 12- or 15-passenger van instead.

With all seats up, space is limited — fine for soft bags, tight for a full load. For 7 passengers plus large suitcases, consider a 12-passenger van.
