Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Veracruz are: Chevrolet Suburban 8 Seater, Ford Club Wagon 15 Seater, GMC Envoy 7 passenger, Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Chevrolet Uplander, Peugeot 807 7 seater 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 Veracruz.
Before leaving the parking garage in Veracruz, 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
In Mexico, there are both toll (Cuota) and free (Libre) roads. The first type is distinguished by a wonderful quality of surface and various services. As a rule, toll roads are laid between major cities and popular resort areas.
Free roads mostly have only one lane and are distinguished by numerous speed limiters. There are virtually no road signs there, so tourists are strongly advised to take a map of the region, in which they plan to travel.
Free roads often have so called “serpentine zones”, so motion sickness treatments will certainly be handy there. Picturesque views remain the main advantage of free roads – many local roads are located in very beautiful places.
