Minivan and SUV Rental Guide for Large Groups
Traveling in a large group may mean more fun and shared experiences, but it also requires careful planning in terms of transportation. Especially for trips with friends, extended families, or corporate teams, being able to move freely without relying on public transport provides great comfort. At this point, minivans and SUVs offer ideal solutions thanks to their spacious interiors and well-equipped structures.
Eurauto Car Rental offers a comfortable, safe, and economical transportation experience with vehicle options for 7 to 9 passengers, tailored to meet the needs of large groups.
Why Choose a Minivan or SUV?
Traveling in a single vehicle with a large group reduces costs and enhances communication and entertainment. Traveling with multiple vehicles complicates coordination and can cause time loss. However, with high-capacity vehicles, everyone can stay together, and route planning and stops can be organized more efficiently.
Minivans and SUVs also offer great advantages in terms of luggage capacity. Especially on long vacations or trips requiring equipment (camping, skiing, sports events, etc.), the amount of cargo to carry increases. These vehicles often come with foldable seats that expand the loading area and meet all needs.
Advantages of Minivans
Minivans are designed especially for groups of 6 or more, offering high comfort and a spacious interior layout. They typically have a capacity of 7 to 9 people and stand out for both passenger comfort and luggage capacity.
Reasons to prefer a minivan:
- Spacious interior: Adequate leg and headroom for every passenger
- Luggage advantage: Ideal for large suitcases and equipment
- Seat arrangement: Some models allow passengers to sit facing each other
- Fuel efficiency: Despite their size, they offer efficient performance on long trips
Eurauto Car Rental offers ideal solutions for both city and intercity travel with reliable minivan models like Renault Trafic and Ford Tourneo Custom.
Power and Flexibility of SUVs
SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) are ideal for groups that don’t require high passenger capacity but seek driving power, road dominance, and stylish appearance. With seating for 5 to 7 people, SUV models provide safe driving on rough terrain, mountain roads, or snowy areas.
The high chassis of SUVs offers better control over the road. This gives the driver a greater sense of control while providing passengers with a more comfortable ride. Eurauto Car Rental recommends SUV models that perform well in both urban and off-road environments, especially for groups planning outdoor activities.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Vehicle
When selecting a vehicle, consider not just the number of people, but also the trip duration, route, and the amount of luggage. For example, for an intercity summer vacation, air conditioning performance, onboard computer, and luggage capacity are crucial. For winter trips, factors like tire condition, 4x4 traction system, and heated seats become important.
At Eurauto Car Rental, we segment our vehicles according to these criteria and offer the most suitable model for your needs. Customers unsure about which vehicle to choose can receive 24/7 support from our customer service team.
Comfort Within the Group
In large groups, comfort expectations may vary among individuals. Therefore, features like the multimedia system, USB charging ports, air conditioning vents, seat comfort, and sound insulation of the vehicle should be considered. For long trips, children may need tablets, young people may prefer music, and older adults may value comfortable seating positions.
Eurauto Car Rental vehicles include advanced sound systems, Bluetooth connectivity, rear passenger climate control, and tablet holders—turning your journey into a truly enjoyable experience, not just a means of transport.
Cost and Fuel Calculation: Don’t Overlook Budget
In large groups, renting a vehicle can significantly reduce per-person costs. However, if the wrong vehicle segment is chosen, hidden costs such as fuel consumption, extra insurance, or the need for a second vehicle may arise.
Tips to optimize your budget:
- Choose a vehicle with 7+ seats according to group size
- Prefer diesel or hybrid engine models
- Benefit from discounts through early reservations
- Plan cost sharing to split the rental expenses
Eurauto Car Rental offers group-specific economic packages and long-term rental discounts to help you travel without straining your budget.
Airport Delivery and Flexible Drop-Off for Groups
Large groups often plan their trips starting from airports. In such cases, picking up the vehicle directly at the airport is a great convenience. Additionally, being able to return the vehicle in a different city at the end of the trip adds flexibility. Eurauto Car Rental offers airport pickup/drop-off in many cities like Istanbul, Antalya, and Izmir, making travel plans easier for large groups.
You can reach your vehicle directly with your group at the start or end of your journey, avoiding extra transportation costs and saving both time and energy.
Traveling with a large group can turn into an unforgettable experience with proper planning and the right vehicle choice. Minivans and SUVs, which combine spacious interiors, technological features, fuel efficiency, and driving comfort, are essential for such trips. When choosing a vehicle, consider not only the capacity but also the intended use and road conditions.
