For group van rental in europe — minibus hire for 8 & 9 people, in particular, the benefits are clear: luggage space is generous enough for a week's worth of bags across eight people, the driving experience is closer to a car than a bus, and modern vans like the Ford Tourneo Custom or Mercedes V-Class are genuinely comfortable for long distances.
