Ford Galaxy – 7 Seater People Carrier.

The Ford Galaxy MPV is really built with one thing in mind, that’s luxurious practicality and it’s a very popular 7 seater car hire. There’s a feeling of roominess inside the cabin, similar to a minivan and yet the Ford Galaxy drives like a normal car. It will comfortably seat seven adults and both rows of rear seats fold flat into the floor to give massive luggage space. It looks cumbersome from the outside but it’s actually amazingly good to drive.

The ride is responsive and despite its size there is virtually no roll. All of the models in the range are well-equipped, and even the entry-level vehicles have air conditioning as standard along with electric windows. Depending on whether you choose a diesel or petrol version, you can expect fuel economy of around 30 to 45 miles per gallon.

Reliability is pretty much guaranteed with the Galaxy although some of the early models were not so good. If you are traveling in a party with seven adults then you may want to consider hiring a roof box as you will not have enough luggage space. Summing up, the Galaxy ticks all the right boxes when it comes to people carrier rental, and it’s internal space and style will make it a popular choice for years to come.

Volkswagen Touran – The Best People Carrier?

The VW Touran may not be the most attractive of all the people carriers, but it’s box shape makes it one of the most practical compact MPVs you can hire. 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. Please bear in mind that although the Touran is generally a very comfortable and quiet people carrier to drive, if you have opted for the diesel version you can expect to hear greater engine noise.

Practicality and versatility are without doubt the VW Touran’s strong points. There are 7 seats as standard although that leaves little in the way of luggage space, around 121 L, but you can arrange the seats in a different format to increase baggage room.
