Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Cartagena 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 Spain 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 Spain 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 Cartagena.
Before leaving the parking garage in Cartagena, 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
It is not recommended to trust drivers, who ride in front of you, especially if they have local registration numbers. If a car has turned on the left turn signal, it does not mean that it is going to turn left, and if the traffic light has switched to red, it does not mean that all the cars that are in front of you (and, most importantly, that are in the back) will stop.
There are truly reckless drivers on the roads, who enjoy organizing races and dislike speed limits. It is not recommended to follow their example, as well as to stay on the way of these enthusiastic and excited drivers.
Pedestrians are often not less dangerous than other participants of traffic. They can step on "zebra crossing" despite the fact that there are rapidly approaching cars on the road. Drivers should be particularly careful near pedestrian crossings.
