Even 9 Seater Hire is Available

Hiring an MPV abroad is becoming more popular as larger groups and families take advantage of competitive pricing at airports. When you’re hiring a people carrier, you need to think about the number of people in your party and amount of luggage they will be carrying. Fuel prices are horrendous just about everywhere now, so picking a diesel vehicle may be a wise move although this may mean a compromise on performance.

If you want to get the best price possible than you must hire your people carrier well in advance. There are plenty of websites out there who will compare all the different people carrier and MPV providers and try to get you the best rate. When you’re researching your people carrier hire, remember that many suppliers will have different terms and conditions, and to save yourself any hassle, you’d be well advised to read the small print. In particular, you have to be aware of the fuel policy of the company you hire your minivan from, as fuel policies vary from supplier to supplier.

Make sure you understand what the excess is on your people carrier hire and consider taking out insurance on this aspect as well. Below we will look at some of the more popular people carriers, MTVs, minivans and SUVs which are on the hire market today.

Citroen C4 Grand Picasso – Strong Contender for Best People Carrier.

Without a doubt one of our favourite MPvs is the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso. It’s a comfortable seven seater MPV and like most Citroens today it’s good-looking and incorporates a lot of nice features.

The seats fold away brilliantly giving a massive amount of storage space if required. This You will probably notice that the Grand Picasso doesn’t have quite the same taut handling and cornering as some of the other available people carriers Once you get used to the handling though, you should have no problems with the overall performance of this roomy 7 seater.

It’s certainly among the most comfortable people carriers we have experienced and if you’re travelling long distances when on holiday then this is the MPV for you. Some clever boffin has invented a fantastic seat mechanism that converts the seats in almost any formation you want. Legroom and headroom are good overall and there is better than average luggage capacity even when all seven seats are in use.

Depending on the version you choose to hire, you can expect to achieve anything from 30mpg right up to 57mpg in the 1.6 e-HDI people carrier. Overall, the C4 Grand Picasso is a safe, reliable and very popular people carrier hire vehicle and gets a big thumbs up.

VW Touran Compact 7 Seater.

Although it’s been around for a long time, the VW Touran is still right up there as one of the best 7 seater MPVs of all time. The interior is quiet and refined and there’s a choice of petrol or diesesl engines, including an great BlueMotion option that is very cheap to run. The diesel engines are slightly noisier, but deliver far better fuel economy and are well worth considering.

The Volkswagen Touran is an extremely practical and versatile compact MPV and is class leading even after all these years. Seven people can fit in easily, there is plenty of legroom and headroom, and the people in the front will still be able to hear the people in the back even at motorway speeds.
