Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Pontevedra are: Citroen Picasso, Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Citroen C8 Tdi, VW Touran, Peugeot 807 7 seater, Opel Zafira 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 Pontevedra.
Before leaving the parking garage in Pontevedra, 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.

Sometimes disciplined tourists who follow all traffic rules also become participants of road accidents. Of course, following traffic regulations is important, but it is important to monitor the situation on the road and pay attention to behavior of other motorists all the time.
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.
