Looking for a 9 + passenger vehicle to rent for a road trip

[ekwok02]

Please help.

Looking for a place that rents a 9, 10, 12, or 15 passenger vehicle / car / van.

It would be best if the place let’s you drive unlimited kms.

If you have rented before, or if you know anywhere that rents one, let me know.

Thanks.

Budget or Discount can rent you a 12 passenger van.

Greyhound + companion fare deals. :lol:

I'm not sure about now, but a year ago I was taking a look at this. I found that it was comparable in price to get 2 cars with free upgrades (coupons) to mid or full size and use credit card for insurance (can't do this for a full-size van). It's much easier to find available cars than full-size vans, and I think you can find deals easier for car rentals. And for the road trip, we used cheapie walkie talkies to communicated in-route between the cars.

What's nice too is that if the group wants to split up (some go shopping, some visit an attraction, etc), having 2 cars is convenient.

Not too mention passenger comfort having 12 people in a van for hours with varying degrees of temps, smells and discomforts. To me that's just a family disaster waiting to happen, the 2 car rental idea would be my choice as well.

I looked into renting a couple of large passenger vehicles for work last year and had a very hard time tracking any down. As a result of so many accidents involving people not wearing their seat belts or packing too many people into vehicles, many rental agencies no longer offer large passenger vehicles.

I agree with someone else that mentioned renting two minivans instead. It's also a added security if one of the vehicles breaks down, runs out of gas, gets involved in an accident. Not to mention the additional space you would get for luggage.

yeah, i know about the safety issues and the cost.. but if the price is reasonable, it's just more fun with everybody in one van..
