Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Turin are: Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Mercedes Viano 8 Seater, Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Peugeot 807 7 seater, Citroen Picasso, 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 Turin.
Before leaving the parking garage in Turin, 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
Free parking spaces are marked in white. If a road is marked with black and yellow traffic lane markings, the parking is prohibited there. Free parking lots can be found close to major shopping centers, but finding a free stall in them is not easy – as a rule, all the parking spaces are occupied by vehicles of local residents, who know their cities and free parking lots very well.
Paid parking lots are usually marked with blue color. The cost of parking there costs from 1 to 3 euro per hour. As a rule, the most expensive parking lots are located close to major attractions and shopping centers.
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.
