Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Bodrum are: Mercedes Vito, VW Kombi 8 Seater, Citroen C8 Tdi, Citroen Picasso, Toyota Previa, Ford Galaxy 7 seater and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Turkey 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 Turkey 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 Bodrum.
Before leaving the parking garage in Bodrum, 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 really difficult to find a free parking space in both large cities and small towns. All the areas, where parking is permitted, are marked with the special “Park Yeri” sign. However, local people prefer to stick to another rule - they park their cars everywhere if there’s no sign that prohibits parking.
Foreign guests are not recommended to follow their example, otherwise, they risk to see new scratches and dents on return. If possible, it is better to move in the center of the city by foot, and the car is better to be left in a remote parking lot.
It is quite difficult to get lost in the city. If you want to move to its central part, you simply need to follow the “Şehir merkezi” sign. It is also important to remember that the down arrow actually means “to move forward”.
