    You will like it spuddybaby. Drove one 2 years ago for two day as the wife wasnt happy with it but I was. They look intimidating but are easy to drive. They wife was right in returing it, as it was for a family of 6, so it was way too big for us, for small runs to walmart by myself at times was too big to be in such a big car. You should enjoy, depending on party size.

    Hi spuddybaby, we hired a 15 seater on our last 2 visits found them really easy to drive and from memory i think the model was a Ford E350. The only issue we encountered was the handbrake, it is a foot pedal to apply it but we had a hilarious couple of minutes trying to find out how to get it off, the release catch was to the left of the steering wheel just at the bottom of the dashboard, also not sure if you are aware but they are automatics with column shift selector on the Fords that we had.

    Can't remember the model but drove a 15 seater a few years ago-would echo the above -very easy-the only thing i found that i had to watch was length particularly when reversing

    There very easy to drive just like driving a small van in the UK. Whenever we have hired them in the past they have been the Ford E350 and the great thing is that they have parking sensors when reversing. Just remember the road are a lot bigger in the US than in the UK.
