Seating Details To Confirm When You Rent A Large Van
by Kathryn Harris
A large van can be a good method of transportation when you're traveling with a group. Rather than having to divide the group to travel in two or more vehicles, you can rent a large van at a local vehicle rental service and enjoy riding to your destination together. There are lots of these vans on the rental market, so you want to be sure that you get the one that best suits your group's needs. When you contact the rental company or browse its website, here are some seating details to confirm before you choose your van.
Seating Capacity
Perhaps more than anything, you need to choose a van that will offer the right seating capacity for your group. The seating capacity can vary considerably between large vans — even between those that are the exact same size. Confirm how many people will be traveling in your group. It may be useful to rent a van that offers slightly more seats than you initially think you'll need. This way, if one of your guests decides to bring a family member or friend with the group at the last minute, there will be a seat available for them.
Seating Configuration
You should also decide what seating configuration is best for your group. Often, van rental companies will have photos of the various seating configurations that are available in their large vans. For example, some vans will have three seats across the body of the vehicle, while others will have four. The latter offers people more room, which may be ideal if there are some larger people in your group. Keep in mind that the more seats you have across the van, the narrower the aisle will be to get to the back of the vehicle. If some of your passengers have trouble moving around, perhaps because they're older, it may be better to choose a vehicle that has fewer seats across and a wider aisle.
Seating Comfort
You can also browse photos of the seats in a few different large vans to determine how comfortable they are. Many companies have upgraded seats that will offer more comfort for long trips. For example, these seats have enhanced headrests, better armrests, and other features that your passengers will appreciate. Upgraded seats can be a nice touch for any trip with older passengers, as they might get sore from sitting for long periods. With better seats, they'll be more comfortable on the trip.
