Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Bari are: Mercedes Viano 8 Seater, Opel Zafira, VW Touran, Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Mercedes Vito and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Italy 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 Italy 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 Bari.
Before leaving the parking garage in Bari, 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
The majority of parking lots are equipped with special machines that accept payments. When entering them, drivers should receive a ticket that indicates the time of parking. This ticket should be installed on the inside of the windshield, or simply pressed by the janitor. People, who plan to use such parking lots, should get enough coins and money in small denominations – ticket machines do not give change.
If a parking lot is not equipped with a ticket machine, most probably it is operated by special cards. These cards are sold in newspaper and tobacco shops, some cafes, shops and hotels. The cards also need to be attached to a conspicuous place with the time that indicated the start of parking.
Underground parking lots are considered the most expensive ones. Therefore, there is almost always a free place in them. The high cost of such parking is also the result of the fact that cars are driven to the lot by the staff of the parking.
