8 people SUV

[Chax]

Since we are from one of the smallest yet most crowded countries in the world, where most people drive small cars... (yet we are all very tall...)


We'd love to rent a HUGE 8 people SUV when we're in Florida.
Do you guys know if there's any rental company that offers does?

Not sure about SUV but there is an 8 person mini van through Alamo and dollar as well. you would need to book that category specifically and I think it tells you Nisaan Quest or similar.

The only SUV you might get 8 people in is a Chevy Suburban but it will be tight with 8 people and luggage. Maybe you should get a regular sized van

Do you have 8 people in your party...or do you just want to drive a large SUV?

I believe a Chev Suburban seats 8 and for most rental companies it would be considered a Premium SUV.
It has seating for 8 and storage room for 4 or 5 large suitcases.

Other options in the "large SUV" category would be Luxury SUV, such as a Lincoln or Cadillac OR Fullsize SUV such as a Chev Tahoe. This category usually seats 7 but has limited storage space for luggage, room for only a couple of large suitcases.

The Crossover's and Minivans also seat 7 and have ample storage room for luggage and will be a lot more fuel efficient than the SUV's mentioned above.

We rented a 12 person Ford van for our upcoming trip. We only have 8, but 2 are in car seats. We got it from Dollar rental for $181 per week!

We rented an 8 seater a few weeks ago we got a Pacifica. It was fine. We were 4 adults and 4 kids (no car seats). Luggage was 2 large bags and 3 carry on bags. We would've like a suburban but it wasn't available. A sienna also seats 8. We rented a 12 seater once and it was a pita. Hard to park.

Hmmm, good thinking. We are actually a party of 8 and might need to bring an ECV, so some extra room might be a bit more realistic...
Thanks, for the heads up!

Wow! What a great rate, all the van rates I can find are between the 550 and the 600 at Dollar (and Thrifty...)
Care to share the trick?!

I would think that they are using their own car insurance for most of the insurance costs .

Us Europeans cannot use our own car insurance ( Mine in Ireland & Yours in The Netherlands )

That is why the cost is high . My Irish car insurance will NOT transfer for my trip to The Netherlands

next week . ( Holidayautos .com ) Budget .... Skoda Estate..... 8 days € 400 )

There wasn't really a trick. We were initially looking for mini vans, but they offered this up instead. We did book it in February for an October trip, so I think that helped.

Who did you rent this from for so cheap?Was it directly through Dollar?

 

[bianca]

A Passat is a 4 door car......

Sorry it was a Chrysler Pacifica. Had to go to my national account to see what it was. First time renting that vehicle.

We rented a Yukon XL from Alamo this past April. We originally rented a 7 seater van but upgraded to an 8 seater and they didn't have any. Tried to give us a Ford Explorer that seats 8 (think it was the Explorer) but it would not fit our luggage, the lady tried to tell us to put the seat down. Um....on the days we have 8 that will not work with beach chairs. So they found us a Yukon XL.

Tons of room in the back. We had 6 carry in sized suitcases and 6 carryons and had plenty of room.

Beach days we had a cooler, 7-8 chairs, 2 umbrellas, a few bags of stuff and we still had plenty of room. We already have it reserved for next April.

I will say the 3rd row was roomy! I didn't feel squished.
