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...)
:laughing:

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.
 
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.
