Here's a list of all the car hire companies represented at the airport:

Since you've not told us how long you want the vehicle for (and where you want to drop it off), I can't give you any figures but Centauro does seem to have a 9-seater Transit available on that date and Record Go offers a 9-seater Volkswagen Transporter ('or similar'). I've not tried the other firms but there certainly seems to be some availability.

I use holidayautos and they seem to have a 9 seater available BUT it's really expensive. Might well be cheaper to get 2 cars instead.

Before you start, just in case, do make sure whoever is driving has the right groups on his or her licence.

I know it may sound like teaching a grandmother to suck eggs, but I spent 20 years in the truck rental industry and I lost count of the number of people who turned up believing they were qualified and weren't. I've had people crying in my office because they were expecting to move house / go on holiday and didn't have the correct licence.
