# Minivan rental in New York

## Tips for renting minivans

### Minivan vs. SUV for groups

For 7 people plus luggage, a minivan usually beats a same-size SUV on interior space and access. SUVs win on style and AWD; minivans win on practicality.

### Book early for summer

Minivans are a limited part of most fleets and sell out first on summer weekends. Reserve as far ahead as you can.

## Minivan rental FAQs

### How many people fit in a rental minivan?

Most rental minivans seat 7, with some 8-passenger models. If you need more, look at a 12- or 15-passenger van instead.

### Do minivans have enough room for luggage and 7 passengers?

With all seats up, space is limited — fine for soft bags, tight for a full load. For 7 passengers plus large suitcases, consider a 12-passenger van.
