Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Uppsala 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 Sweden 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 Sweden 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 Uppsala.

Before leaving the parking garage in Uppsala, 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.

Drivers can learn a lot of useful information in police stations and national automobile clubs. For example, police departments usually have special free maps that indicate all parking areas in the city.
It is not difficult to navigate on local roads as there are many various road signs and roads along roads. If you know at least the approximate direction, missing the right turn is almost impossible - the sign that indicates it may appear a mile or two before the actual turn.
Drivers, who are used to breaking the speed limit, should not expect that their violation will be missed. Even if the excess of the driving speed will be just 1 km/h, the driver will have to pay a large fine.
