Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Naxos 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 Naxos.
Before leaving the parking garage in Naxos, 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
In many large cities, drivers can feel the lack of usual road signs. Such signs as “give way” and “the main road” are quite rare, and this fact also complicates the orientation while driving. When approaching a crossroads, drivers should always slow down, regardless of the fact whether there is a road sign near the crossroads or not.
Crossroads equipped with traffic lights are another place, where drivers should be really careful. Do not start moving immediately after the green light appears. Local drivers have one really bad habit – they enjoy “slipping” at a crossroads when the traffic light has just switched to red.
Parking space should be selected with caution. Drivers should also take into account that parking is prohibited in the central part of some large cities.
