Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Gran Canaria are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Mercedes Vito, Peugeot 807 7 seater, Citroen C8 Tdi, Citroen Picasso, Mercedes Viano 8 Seater 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 Gran Canaria.
Before leaving the parking garage in Gran Canaria, 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.

In many cities, pedestrian crossings are organized on structures that are raised above the level of the road. Passing them at high speed is very unpleasant, so one should slow down before such a crossing.
There are automatic traffic lights installed at the entrances to some small towns. By default, they can always show a red signal. The traffic light switches to green when a car stops near it or when a car moves on a given section of a road with allowed speed.
