About People Carrier Hire

People carriers are purpose-designed for carrying groups with maximum comfort, and RentWith's people carrier hire range spans 6-seat, 8-seat, and 9-seat vehicles to cover every group size. Whether you are organising family travel, coordinating a group of colleagues, or planning an airport transfer for an overseas party, we have the right vehicle for the job.

A 6-seater is typically a larger estate-style car or compact MPV — vehicles like the Ford S-MAX or Peugeot 5008 sit in this category. They provide a sensible step up from a standard 5-seat car without requiring the driver to adjust significantly to a larger vehicle. Six-seaters are ideal when you regularly travel with five other adults and need reliable, everyday comfort rather than an occasional large group solution.

Our 8-seater hire vehicles are genuine full-size MPVs — vehicles such as the Ford Galaxy in its 8-seat configuration, or the Mercedes-Benz V-Class. These provide three full rows of seating, individual seatbelts throughout, and a generous luggage area to the rear. For family holidays involving grandparents, for group days out, or for transporting a team to a location where parking multiple cars would be impractical, an 8-seater is an outstanding option.

9-seater vehicles push into the upper boundary of what can be driven on a standard Category B licence, and they provide enough capacity to transport most small teams, sports groups, or extended family groups in one vehicle. In some cases a 9-seater can eliminate the need for a full minibus licence, making them a practical and accessible option for a wider range of drivers.

Airport transfers are a natural use case for people carrier hire. Arriving at an airport and needing to transport eight people with luggage is a straightforward task with one of our 8 or 9-seat vehicles — and significantly more economical than booking multiple taxis. Many customers arrange collection directly from airport pick-up areas, combining the convenience of arriving together with the flexibility of driving to their destination independently.

All of our people carriers are well-maintained, air-conditioned, and presented in clean condition for every hire. Automatic transmission options are available in many models, and several vehicles offer fold-flat rear seats that allow the space to be reconfigured for luggage-only use when fewer passengers are aboard.

For groups larger than 9, our minibus hire range — from 12 to 17 seats — is the natural next step. Call our team on 0333 210 0162 and we will help you determine the right vehicle size for your group and find the best available option at your nearest location.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 6, 7, 8 and 9 seater?

The number of seats varies by model. 6 and 7 seaters are typically MPVs. 8 and 9 seaters are larger vehicles — often van-derived — and provide more space per passenger.

Are people carriers suitable for long journeys?

Yes — people carriers are designed for comfort on long journeys, with ample legroom and modern comfort features as standard.

Can I hire a 9 seater on a standard car licence?

Most 9-seat vehicles fall within the Category B licence entitlement. We will confirm the specific licence requirements for the vehicle you hire.

What if I need more than 9 seats?

For groups larger than 9, our minibus hire range starts from 12 seats. Call us and we will find the right size for your group.
