Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Nizhny Novgorod are: Toyota Previa, Toyota Minibus, Citroen Picasso, Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Citroen C8 Tdi, VW Touran and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Russia 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 Russia 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 Nizhny Novgorod.
Before leaving the parking garage in Nizhny Novgorod, 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.

On country roads, the permitted speed ranges from 90 to 110 km/h, depending on the specific type of the road. As it has been noted above, not all roads will delight motorists with good quality, so driving on them at high speed is quite dangerous.
