View Full Version : Size of car for 3 adults and 3 children
Hi - could anyone advise me what size of car to request for 3 adults and 3 children (one in carseat and 2 in boosters)? I am not sure whether I have to request the 'minivan 7 seater option' or if any others will accommodate 6 people? Also am I correct in assuming that the advantage of going through UScarhire rather than direct with the car rental company is for an intermediary service and good prices (as well as good reviews)? Sorry if obvious question, thanks

For price and good service, you can't go wrong with the link above. I would go for a 7 seater. It is sometimes useful for tired children to have a bit of space, you will also have more space for your bags
Thanks Shirley. I have just booked a minivan 7 seater with Alamo (after hearing about Budget woes!) through UScarhire. I chose the Gold package as we are going for 2 weeks (think Roger advised that but now can't find where I read that so now not sure?!!) Just realised that I could pay more for a 7 seater SUV - does anyone think it is better to go for an SUV?

We came back about 2 weeks ago and hired a 7 seater minivan with Alamo through this site. When we got there we actually ended up with a eight seater with loads of room in, a Toyota Sienna, so keep your fingers crossed. We had 4 adults and one 11 year old and still had room for 10 cases.
Thanks we'll keep our fingers crossed!
We had a Toyota Sienna then a Ford Expedition EL last year for 7 of us, plenty of room in both. This year we have gone straight for the 8 seater Toyota Sienna with Alamo. There are 3 adults and 5 kids so we may be able to get the bags under feet and in the boot which is suprisingly big as it is so deep. If not then a taxi to the villa will suit us.
