Looking for a 9/10 seater passenger van rental for a family road trip.

Regular travel sites just seem to have the 12/15 seaters that won’t be that comfortable.

Any recommendations or a point in the right direction?

TIA

Definitely don’t get the 12-15 passenger vans. They are very uncomfortable after about 2 hours

Minivans go up to 8 max. After that, you jump to 12/15 passenger. For a larger van, the Ford Transit rides pretty good. Avoid the Chevy Express at all costs.

Check Turo. It's the only rental site I use now.

I rented a 12/15 Ford Transit from Avis at IAD last summer. We had 9 people for a week driving around the DC-Philly area. It was comfortable for all and the van drives and handles great.

We just took a Ford Connect 13-passenger to and from Orlando for 5 people.. Was surprisingly good on gas, had plenty of USB ports inside for the phone folks. Rear seats are VERY slim, had good room for luggage. Back of van is very noise and very bumpy. Front of van is pretty stable and much quieter. Rented from Avis. Would do again.
