Experts,
We have been offered a 15-seater for about US$1300. It seems to be good value but I'm wondering if it's overkill. There are 11 of us going but I'm wondering what sort of license you would need to drive such a beast. Are there any special requirements? I'm talking in the context of a full Irish driving license.

If the license holder is licensed to drive a vehicle here with up to 8 passengers (B license), does that restriction carry over to the US or is it a straight-forward 'if you have a driving license, you can drive anything'?

Thanks,
Lee
