I can't really find the brands other Toyota sienna vs Uplander. Is the Doge caravan (risking) vs SIenna worth a $200 upgrade? Has anyone gotten a Sienna with a 7 passenger reservation?
 
I would pick the Caravan over the Sienna. Not sure who you are renting from. We have rented a Kia Sedona last month from Hertz. It was roomy and has lots of headroom. On the other hand, the Sienna's tight in that department. Final decision is yours. Pick what you like.:thumbsup2
 
If you *need* room for 8 passengers, you should book the 8 passenger van. In general, I think there is a good supply of 7 passenger mini-vans so I wouldn't be too hopeful for a upgrade when you pick up.

Things may be changing now that they are reducing their fleets -- but I think I'd bite the bullet and confirm the larger mini-van if truly necessary.
 

The Sedona is a 7-seat-er. I remembered years ago(too many to remember now) Some car rental companies used to have the "GMC-Safari". The Safari was huge. It had 2 rows of bench seating that sits 3 on each row. Nowadays, most minivan has 2 pilot seats in the middle row and a 3-seat-er in the back. Good luck in finding the "right" one.
 
We rented a 8 pass. van toyota in nov and the there was so much more room for luggage and a scooter than the 7 pass. I have rented the uplander and the room doesn' t compare. We had 3 adults and 2 teens and definitely needed the extra room. If you don't need the back seat then you can fold it down and put your luggage on it.

Yeah we rented the 7 passenger. My husband couldn't justify comfort vs $200. I like to save at home and splurge on vacation. He likes to splurge at home and decides to save on vacation!:rolleyes1
 
we rented 7 seater from Alamo and there were plenty of 8 seater Sienna's to choose from in that row - we didn't get charged extra for taking one either...
