which vehicle is suitable

[sigma]

I will be going to Heathrow shortly and will be hiring a vehicle. There will be four adults, two children in child seats a wheelchair plus luggage. What vehicle would anyone recommend.

you will need to hire a minibus,as there is no vehicle,other then that,that could take 6 people plus all your bits and pieces.

toyota previa is an 8 seater

Other options would be the Mercedes Vito Traveliner 9 seater or the Ford Transit Tourneo 9 seater, move luggage space than Other MPVs but you can drive then on a ordinary car licence and rent them easier.

Thanks all, looks like the Tourneo fits the bill

hi sigma
i would be very carefull of what you hire if you only carry a standard uk licence i drive psv`s for a living and im almost certain a driver with just a normal car licence can not drive a vehicle with more than 7 seats fitted and here is where it gets clompicated even though there is only six in the party traveling you still can not drive with more than 7 seats please check this out before you travel as i wouldnt like to see you get into some serious trouble if you where unfortunate to have an accident ...it would be jail time for you
if you know someone who has a psv licence get them to drive
hope this helps

Good point I thought it was 9 seats, it is in fact 7 passenger, 8 with the driver. If you have had a licence for 20 years or so you will have D1 so you can drive up to a 17 seater, but some hire companies will not let you have them.
