A Guide to Get The Perfect Car For Your Family Holiday

For a family of Grand-parents, parents with 2 or 3 children, the classic 7-seater people carrier is hard to beat. The seats in the 7-seater suit the adults in the party. Plus, the boot space is usually big enough for the whole family. Also, driving one vehicle reduces parking charges in the theme parks. It has made life easier for going out to dinner or shopping. Of course, one car is using fuel too. This set up is ideal for families who want to go everywhere together.

For bigger family groups, the same is true for 9 & 12 seat people carriers. But these bigger vehicles only sell out during peak periods. On the contrary, the 7 Seater Car Rental is the preferred choice throughout the year.

Combination of Small Car and People Carrier:

Many of the Grandparents treat their family to a whole family holiday but have no desire to trek around theme parks themselves. In this instance, they usually hire another people carrier so the family can go out all together for dining or shopping or visiting attractions. For themselves, they can arrange a small car – economy or compact so the grandparents can do their own thing whilst the younger family hit the parks. Though this option is a bit expensive, the versatility offered more than justifies the additional expense.

Combination of Two Cars:

This is less the preferred option for the multi-generational family as none of the cars will take the full party. If every outing requires both cars, this means double the fuel costs and parking fees. It can work as an option for two family groups if they are doing something slightly different. But if the group is following the same route then the 12-seat people carrier will be better because of less parking fees and fuel. Hiring a 12-seater car will reduce your expenses instead of hiring two separate vehicles going on the same route.

Travel Insurance:

Travel insurance needs to mention here because as we get older, the policies available to us shrink. Travelers aged above 65 or 70 will gradually see options disappear and the prices hike up. This is especially true when you add in medical conditions. In this scenario, the solution can be to travel on separate policies. But, if part of the family cannot travel because of some reason, the cancellation insurance will only protect the insured, not the rest of the party.
