However, minivan rentals can be *very* expensive in Europe, so beware. In April my wife and I took our baby (5 months old) and my parents to Europe (first time for all of them). We were going to rent a minivan (VW Sharan or the like), but ended up with a mid-sized wagon since it was much cheaper (but tighter space-wise). This is obviously not an option for six people, and you'll need a minivan. Opel Zafira and VW Touran, at least, are available with a third row of seats - so nominally 7 seater - and are significantly smaller than a Sharan or Espace. In size they could be considered as a 'mid-sized wagon (estate)' though they are a bit higher than a conventional estate car. However a Zafira or Touran would be cramped for 6 people on a long journey and, most importantly, if you use all the seats you only have minimal use of luggage. Martin |
