Minivan rental in Leeds

Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Leeds are: Citroen Picasso, Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Citroen C8 Tdi, VW Touran, Peugeot 807 7 seater, Opel Zafira and others.

Standard capacity of a minivan in Great Britain is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.

Please note, that in order to rent in Great Britain a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.

Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Leeds.

Before leaving the parking garage in Leeds, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Inexperienced drivers will have a hard time on such a crossing with left driving. It will be not easy to understand quickly what road to choose to leave the circle. In this case, navigator will be a useful gadget.
