Crew Cab Van Rentals Vs People Carrier Rentals

Why choose a crew cab van rental over typical people carrier hire for family travel? Crew cab van rentals are becoming the go-top option for family and group travel due to the fact that they provide all the space that you need to handle luggage and onboard items, whilst maintaining a high level of comfort.

A people carrier rental will struggle to get everybody in alongside the luggage without somebody pulling the short straw and being buried under everyone else's bags and cases for the entire journey, this can even be a problem with large people carrier rentals. 

When you hire a people carrier for 6 people you will likely need a 7 or 8 seater as usually a seat or two is needed as dedicated space for luggage. Before you hire a 6 seater car consider that with a crew cab van rental you seat 6 occupants comfortably, but with a car you're lucky to fit 5 people in the vehicle at all.

6-Seater Crew Cab Vans For Family Travel

Ford Transit Custom Crew Cab

The Ford Transit Custom 6 seater van is adaptable, spacious and a delight to drive. If you’re looking for comfort, the crew cab transit custom delivers. This vehicle is a double crew cab meaning you have an additional row of seats directly behind the driver with fitted side windows. The rear seating is accessed via the side loading doors with a bulkhead fitted to separate the passengers from your luggage or loads in the back. The Ford Transit 6 seater crew van is designed to give you the best of both worlds. Plenty of room for up to 5 passengers and vast loading space for your items, with enough room for two standard euro pallets if required making this a very accommodating choice.  The driving experience is more akin to a car than a larger van so if you have been looking for a 6-seater family car but haven’t found an option that provides the space and comfort you require then the Ford Transit 6 seater crew van hire is a great solution.

VW Transporter Crew Cab

What Is A Crew Cab Transporter? The VW Transporter crew cab is Volkswagen's answer to 6-seater travel. If you’re looking for the best crew cab van for family travel, you will struggle to find anything more equipped than a 6 seater VW transporter. The VW 6 seater is perfect for loading capacity, seating of up to 6 occupants and is an all-around immaculate van. Like the Ford Transit Custom crew cab, it is equipped with an additional row of seats behind the driver, with fitted side windows and a bulkhead to safely separate the passengers from loads in the back. When it comes to van hire for European travel the VW transporter 6 seater comes highly recommended, it certainly maintains the Volkswagen reputation for reliability and efficiency which is exactly what you need for those longer road trips to ensure your driving experience is smooth and problem free. At hirefleet we offer VW 6 seater van hire and VW transporter 6 seater lease hire.
