When travelling with a group, choosing the right vehicle is essential to organise your journeys. Renting a 4- or 5-seater car is straightforward, but things become more challenging when there are more than five people. We won’t dwell too much on why it’s useful to rent a car on holiday. The reality is that if you plan to visit Sardinia, having your own means of transport is essential to make the most of every moment of your trip.

Today, we want to focus on the aspects to consider when planning group trips. Let’s begin!

Travelling by car with friends

One of the main advantages of renting a vehicle for a trip with friends is the ability to split the costs equally, without wear and tear—or unexpected issues—falling solely on one member of the group (the car owner). It’s also rare to have a friend who owns a minivan or a small bus, and when your group includes more than 5 people, a larger vehicle becomes essential.

The alternative would be to use two or more cars, but this would take away those fun shared moments that make group travels special. This way, your road trip around Sardinia will have an entirely new charm!

Why choose a minivan?

Cars with more than 5 seats are extremely useful when travelling in groups and when you’re looking for an efficient and comfortable solution to organise your holiday. Today, there are various types of minivans available, offering large boot space and all the comforts needed to make long journeys enjoyable. One aspect that shouldn’t be underestimated—especially if you’re planning a long road trip—is the comfort of the seats, which smaller cars don’t always guarantee.

There are different minivan categories to choose from, depending on the size of the vehicle. In particular, we can divide them into three groups:

  • small: 4.60 m in length with a 3,600-litre boot;
  • medium: 4.95 m in length with a 4,200-litre boot;
  • large: 5.30 m in length with a 4,900-litre boot.

Your choice should be based on the most comfortable and practical option according to the number of passengers.
