The minibus, user friendly and economical
Are you going on a large family trip or do you have to transport a group? Opt to hire a minibus according to the criteria of your choice. Up to 9 passengers can travel comfortably in a minibus, with baggage space in the boot of the vehicle. Hiring a minibus is often more advantageous than renting two cars separately. The trip will be all the more convivial! On long journeys, several drivers can take turns to avoid fatigue. Hiring a minibus is very convenient for many occasions:
Large family on a trip: an adventure is experienced all together in a spacious and comfortable minibus.
Holidays with friends: take up to 9 people by minibus, great atmosphere guaranteed!
Events, weddings: simple and practical, organising a minibus will be your best ally.
Associations and sports teams: there is room for everyone plus all the equipment in a minibus.

Who has never dreamed of driving a minibus along roads worldwide surrounded by family or friends? Some hire companies accept drivers from the age of 18, but others will ask for at least 2 years or even 5 years on a licence!

Good to know: in Europe, if you have a standard driving licence, you can carry up to 8 passengers. In other countries, in the United States for example, your B licence (with an international licence) may allow you to rent a 15-seater vehicle, but you will have to be over 25 years old.
The majority of hire companies require a licence to have been held for at least 2 years in order to hire a minibus. This is the case with Sixt, for example. Rentacar, however, request 5 years on a licence! These criteria may vary depending on the size of the minibus, its capacity in number of passengers, and also depending on the country in which you want to hire. So remember to inform the agency of your choice to avoid any unpleasant surprises when picking up of the vehicle.
To hire a minibus, you will need:
- Your identity card or passport
- Your driving licence
- A credit card in your name
- Proof of address (depending on the agency)
- A telephone number (depending on the agency)
Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards are the most commonly accepted by hire companies. Before finalising your reservation and to avoid any unpleasant surprises at when picking up the vehicle, check that your card will be accepted by the car hire company.
“Third-party insurance” and “personal injury” coverage are included in minibus hire contracts in the European countries. Other optional insurance will be offered by the hire company to better cover you in the event of incidents (repairs on the vehicle, insurance in case of theft, etc.). These additional insurance policies also reduce the excess you may have to pay in the event of an accident.
Be aware that some payment cards (VISA Premier for example) include insurance for your car hire. Check beforehand to avoid accumulating insurance.
