Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Kalamata are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Peugeot 807 7 seater, VW Touran, Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Toyota Minibus, Mercedes Vito and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Greece 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 Greece 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 Kalamata.
Before leaving the parking garage in Kalamata, 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.

Popular questions on rental process
Cyclists are quite rare on local roads. Hot climate and fast traffic are the main reasons for that. However, pedestrians are far more dangerous for cyclists than motorists. They do not consider the two-wheeled transport risky, so they can easily get off to the road from the pavement at the most unexpected moment.
At crossroads, one can often see a situation when drivers of mopeds and motorcycles try to drive through a crowd of pedestrians. For pedestrians, these types of transport are much more dangerous than cars.
In some districts of Heraklion, Chania and other fairly large cities there are simply no pedestrian crossings. That is why people can start crossing a road at any place they want.
