Planning a family holiday by car is not always as easy as it seems. To make things smoother, it’s essential to rely on the right rental companies—those able to offer everything you need for an unforgettable trip.

When it comes to renting a 5-seater car, the choice is usually straightforward. Things become more complex when you travel with children or need to rent a 9-seater minivan for a holiday with friends—situations that require a bit more attention.

So, how do you choose the right car for a large family?

Renting a people carrier in Olbia

Rental bookings can be made online or directly on site. Our advice is to secure all the essential services as soon as you start planning your trip—your accommodation and especially your vehicle—to avoid the risk of not finding the car you need when you arrive at the airport. This is even more important when renting a 7- or 9-seater car!

At this point, you might wonder: “What if something goes wrong and I have to cancel the trip?”. When choosing the right agency to rent your vehicle, it’s crucial to check their cancellation policies. At Ellepi, we guarantee maximum flexibility for visitors arriving at Olbia Airport and choosing our services for their holiday.

On one hand, early planning allows you to choose calmly and book your family minivan in advance. On the other, you’ll need to review all administrative aspects carefully—cancellation terms, payments, insurance, and anything that may affect your rental.

Renting a family car in Sardinia

On our website you’ll find various options in our fleet, from motorbikes to minibuses. Cars with more than 5 seats are extremely useful for family trips with several children or holidays with a group of friends—especially in a region like Sardinia, where moving around by bus can be quite complicated. Renting a people carrier in Olbia, and generally at the airport, is always a smart choice.

All you need to do is choose a comfortable minibus for group travel, with a spacious luggage compartment and comfortable seating to make long drives enjoyable for everyone.

Types of minivans

There are several types of minivans to choose from, and their versions vary based on the size of the vehicle. For example:

  • the small version, approximately 4.60 metres long with a 3,600-litre boot;
  • the medium version, about 4.95 metres long with a 4,200-litre boot;
  • the large version, around 5.30 metres long with a 4,900-litre boot.

The ideal choice is the vehicle that can comfortably accommodate all passengers, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable holiday for everyone.
