Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Simferopol are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Peugeot 807 7 seater, VW Touran, Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Toyota Minibus, Mercedes Vito and others.
Standard capacity of a minivan in Ukraine 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 Ukraine 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 Simferopol.
Before leaving the parking garage in Simferopol, 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
Public transport has a number of advantages on the roads of Ukraine. Drivers should be particularly attentive on the roads with tram lanes. If the tram has stopped to load or unload passengers, motorists also have to stop. They can start moving again only after the tram has closed the door.
In Ukraine, it is allowed to make a right turn at a red light on certain intersections. All these intersections have a green arrow pointing to the right. Here we should mention one of the most controversial situations connected with the rule. The reason is the yellow traffic signal is also considered a prohibiting one, so it is not possible to pass the intersection if the traffic light signal is yellow, but many local drivers ignore this nuance.
Foreign motorists may be confused by the fact that at many intersections road signs are placed only on one side. For example, there may be the "Give way" sign at the intersection, but the “Main road” sign is missing. This fact will certainly make disciplined drivers confused.
