Renting a 7, 8 or 9 Seater Van at Václav Havel Airport Prague
Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) is one of Czech Republic's key international airports, making it a natural starting point for group travel across the region. Whether you're arriving with a family of seven, a sports team, or a corporate group, picking up a large van or minibus directly at the terminal saves time, eliminates transfer costs, and puts you in control of your itinerary from the moment you land.
7, 8, and 9-seater vans are a fundamentally different proposition to standard car hire. They combine the interior space of a minibus with the driveability of a family car, making them ideal for longer road trips where comfort across multiple hours matters. At Prague, several major rental providers maintain desks in the arrivals area, though supply of large people carriers is limited — especially in peak season.

How to Choose the Right Van at Prague
7-Seater
Best for families of 5–6 with luggage. Models like the VW Multivan or Mercedes V-Class offer premium comfort. Easier to park in city centres than a full minibus. Ideal for day trips and transfers.
VW Multivan →8-Seater Most popular
The sweet spot for groups of 6–7 with luggage. The Ford Tourneo Custom in 8-seat configuration offers a proper boot. Good for road trips where comfort and cargo space both matter.
Ford Tourneo Custom →9-Seater
Maximum capacity for large groups. The VW Caravelle or Ford Transit Custom handle up to 9 passengers. Boot space is limited with full capacity — consider a roof box or luggage trailer for longer trips.
