Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Paros are: Mercedes Vito, VW Kombi 8 Seater, Citroen C8 Tdi, Citroen Picasso, Toyota Previa, Ford Galaxy 7 seater 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 Paros.
Before leaving the parking garage in Paros, 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
Despite the modest width of roads in the country, many local residents have cars of a pretty impressive size. The reason for this is that most of them grow vegetables and fruits for sale; many people who live in the country transport their livestock frequently from one place to another. Of course, it is easier to make that on large cars.
Drivers, who leave their cars parked in the wrong place, in narrow streets and close to crossroads, run the risk of discovering new scratches on their cars. Local motorists have stopped paying attention on such trifles long ago.
If it starts raining, drivers should slow down (even local drivers who are used to speeding do this). The beginning of rain is considered one of the toughest moments as roads become very slippery at this time.
