France Mini Vans - More Than 8


Cruzinbabe06

Recommended Posts

We're sailing on the Epic in Oct. and are in the midst of securing our shore excursions before they fill up. We're a group of 10 adults.

 

I found tour companies in Italy to accomodate our party. (Thanks to these boards).:D Haven't been that successful for Cannes, France and Provence (Marseille), France.

 

Does anyone know of a tour company who has vans big enough to hold 10 adults?

 

Mostly all of the agencies I've come across on these boards seat up to 8 pax.

 

One agency suggested I get another van. Which doubled our price.:eek:

 

We could get another van and try to get fellow pax to share with us. However, the 10 of us is large enough.

 

Anyone have this problem?

 

Thanks in advance

Two times eight-seaters is a nonsense.:rolleyes:

 

Ten-seater isn't a worthwhile vehicle size in EU countries, there are more stringent driver & vehicle licensing regulations for vehicles with more than 8 seats.

Hence ten seaters are pretty rare. Some operators use vehicles with up to 8 seats, others jump up to bigger vans with 12 seats or more.

You shouldn't have a problem finding an operator with 12+ seaters, way cheaper than 2 x 8. You can decide for yourselves whether to seek sharers to make use of some of the spare seats.

That's the thing. I'm searching and searching and everyone has seating up to 8. That's it.

 

I'll keep searching.

 

Thank you:)

 

Yep, it's hard work. Much more difficult than in the UK, where we have a lot of companies specialising in 12 - 16 seaters. But some UK companies which operate full-size (about 48 seater) coaches also operate minibuses, so I googled "Autocars Cannes" and "coach hire Cannes"

I've sifted those which also offer smaller vehicles by clicking on our fleet, nos vehicules, or similar.

There'll be more, but these via just the first couple of pages on google.
