8 Seater mini vans

[linda allen]

We are off in May to our villa and we are taking our friends with us (family of four) We will be hiring two cars, one of which will be an 8 seater.
I have just looked on the US car hire site and with Dollar and Alamo it is an 8 seater mini van but with Budget it is an 8 seater Luxury SUV.
Has any one any experience with 8 seaters. We like the look of the Luxury SUV[8D]
Not sure what to go for.

We have just returned after hiring a 8 seater through Dollar through this Site, a Ford. It was extremely large, huge amount of luggage area, and extremely comfortable. We had lots of laughter trying to climb into the vehicle as it is so high off the ground, one comment made was 'I need oxygen', in the end we bought a step to leave in our locked cupboard at the Villa. Lovely to drive and of course no problem parking.
