Luxury 8 seater car hire UK

| | Article posted

Hiring an 8 seater vehicle can be extremely useful. Perhaps you have a large family, or you might be organising a trip to a sporting event or a festival, or perhaps you’re planning a hen party, or a European getaway for a large group? It’s no wonder they’re called Multi Purpose Vehicles (MPVs).

Renting an MPV could also work out a lot cheaper than paying for 8 return train or plane tickets, as well as being much more enjoyable.

It’s often difficult to find a provider with 8 seater vehicles, especially with larger providers, who mostly have 7 seaters unless you rent a large minibus/van with 10+ seats. That said, it’s not impossible, it just means a bit of extra shopping around.

In this guide we’ve recommended 3 of our favourite rental providers for 8 seater cars, two of which are smaller, independent providers. We’ve also included some general advice about MPVs and people carriers.

Look local

Most of the large providers don’t offer 8 seater vehicles seen as the demand for them isn’t large enough. However, it’s often worthwhile contacting smaller, independent hire firms to see what vehicles they have. Two of our recommendations below are for local hire firms.
