Renting Cars, need advice!

[msr709]

We will be a group of 10, 5 adults and 5 children (13, 5, 4, 3, 2). We are planning on staying at the AllStar Vacation homes, and they have a promo that they give you a rental car with the stay. Ok, now is the tricky part, they offer an "intermediate" car and they use Enterprise. Now I know even a minivan is not going to hold 10 so I know we will be needing 2 cars. My dilema is this: do I use their "intermediate" car and rent a minivan or is another intermediate or compact car enough? We will have 3 car seats and a booster seat, and a double stroller to take to the parks every day. Out of the adults 3 drive, 2 don't. What would you do about the car sizes? Which rental place would you use for the other car? TIA!

According to their site, the Intermediate cars include cars similar to Chevy Cobalt, Ford Focus and seat 4. Based on that, I'd think you'd need two full-size or an intermediate and minivan. (please note, I don't drive any of this type of car, nor do I have kids)

As far as what rental agency to use for the second car... whichever is cheapest, I guess. I tend to use Alamo and Budget, based on price.

You will need to rent a car which will hold 6 people if the intermediate holds 4. I'm not sure why you think a compact or another intermediate car would be large enough for 6 more people.

Use whatever rental agency you please, although I'd probably stick with Enterprise if your other car will be from them.
