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

Without a doubt one of our favourite MPvs is the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso. The external look of this people carrier is very pleasing, and the inside is spacious and well appointed.

The seats fold away brilliantly giving a massive amount of storage space if required. This So slightly softer suspension on the grand Picasso compared to many of its rivals, which is not as pleasant for the driver as it is for the passengers. The Grand Picasso, all things considered, is a very comfortable, versatile peple carrier, and once you are used to the feel of the vehicle you will enjoy driving it.

If you are intending to do a lot of miles in a people carrier hire, the Grand Picasso is certainly one of the most comfortable MPVs around. There is an ingenious seating mechanism which is very easy to use and the seats can be re-arranged very quickly. In terms of internal room, there’s decent legroom and headroom, even with the seven seats in use, but you may require a roof box if you have 7 adults with luggage as boot space will be tight.

You can achieve excellent fuel economy with the Grand Picasso, particularly with the new 1.6 e-HDI model which returns 57mpg. The Grand Picasso is a practical, reliable and comfortable 7 seater which can be hired just about everywhere – we think it’s an excellent choice.

SEAT Alhambra – Strong Contender for Top 7 Seater.

The SEAT Alhambra has a smooth and refined ride, with great comfort levels and is cheaper to run than many of its competitors. Petrol and diesel engines can be had and fuel economy is pretty decent throughout the range of models. For a large seven seater it’s amazingly quiet and inside the cabin is a pleasant experience. It has an excellent safety record it’s easy to drive and it’s extremely well-equipped. One small negative mark is that the Alhambra can be difficult to Park. One small niggling point, the back seats take a bit of manoeuvring before folding away. But no car is perfect, and you should be able to hire this people carrier a good bit cheaper than many of its rivals.

Ford Galaxy – People Carrier Supreme.

For a prestigious comfortable seven seater MPV rental, the Ford Galaxy has to be on your list. 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.

For handling and performance, this has to be one of the best people carriers out there. The level of kit inside the Galaxy is top-notch with electric everything and tinted glass and leather in many models. Depending on whether you choose a diesel or petrol version, you can expect fuel economy of around 30 to 45 miles per gallon.

Early models of the Galaxy had some reliability problems, but these have long since been ironed out, so trouble free motoring is assured. Boot space is small when you are carrying 7 adults, so if you have plenty of luggage you will almost certainly want to hire a roof box as well. You will not be disappointed if you hire a Galaxy, it’s a stylish and reliable people carrier that will not give you a moments trouble.
