Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Rhodes are: Toyota Previa, Toyota Minibus, Citroen Picasso, Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Citroen C8 Tdi, VW Touran 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 Rhodes.
Before leaving the parking garage in Rhodes, 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
Inexperienced drivers are not recommended to travel on mountain roads. They are very narrow and winding, and in some areas there is space for only one car. There are no fences and roadsides on many mountain roads, so if there is no enough space to pass another car that moves in the opposite direction, then there is only way - to move backwards until there is a suitable place for passing that car.
If there is a need to park on a narrow street, then do not forget to turn on a warning light before the maneuver. This way you will warn drivers that ride behind your car of the maneuver, so they will have enough time to slow down and wait until the parking will be completed.
Taking into consideration the nature of local roads (narrow and often with one-way direction of motion), parking with the car’s back is better. That is the way how local people park. With such a type of parking it will be easier to go back to the road and join traffic.
