Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Krabi are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Mitsubishi L300 12 Seater, Opel Zafira, Peugeot 807 7 seater, VW Caravelle, VW Kombi 8 Seater and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Thailand 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 Thailand 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 Krabi.
Before leaving the parking garage in Krabi, 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
According to another unwritten rule, drivers of large vehicles (trucks, buses and other vehicles that are large in size) have the priority on the road. Do not expect that the driver of a bus or a truck will give way to an ordinary car or a motorcycle.
In order to warn drivers about the place of an accident, not all local drivers use standard emergency signs. Many drivers simply use large stones or branches instead of them.
Drivers from other countries will certainly appreciate the fact that in popular tourist areas all information in road signs is duplicated in English. It will be a little more difficult to travel to remote areas and islands, because it will be really hard to find any marks or signs in English.
