Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Cuernavaca are: Peugeot 807 7 seater, VW Kombi 8 Seater, Chevrolet Suburban 8 Seater, Chrysler Voyager, Dodge Caravan, GMC Envoy 7 passenger and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Mexico 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 Mexico 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 Cuernavaca.
Before leaving the parking garage in Cuernavaca, 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
Drivers should be particularly careful when choosing a place for parking. Do not leave the car in the street, as the chance of theft is very high. It is better to use covered parking lots, and leave the car near busy shopping centers or hotels.
If there is a road sign with the crossed letter “E” on your way, this means that parking is not allowed in this location. On average, the cost of parking for 2 - 3 hours is approximately 3 – 3.5 USD.
There are speed limits on all kinds of roads. On the territory of some cities drivers are likely to see roads, on which it is simply impossible to move with the speed of more than 20 km/h. On toll roads the speed limit is usually 110 km/h. Local residents are not distinguished by diligent following speed limits, so speeding remains one of the most common violations in Mexico.
