hiring a minibus/12 seater in france?

[pinkcowprint]

hi,do any carhire companies hire out vans,larger vehicles for 11 people?
never hired a car before so not sure where to look apart from going through every company,i have found a 9 seater,this could be ok if a 8month old and a 3 year old sat on our knee,is this acceptible i france?

why would you want to let the kids travel without seatbelts/restraints?

just type european bus hire in google and had no trouble finding result.

well, i've looked at both your links and neither of them do it! The first one is a UK hire company (the OP is flying) and the second one goes up to a 9 seater in france

You can only hire vehicles with up to 9 seats using a standard UK licence in France, Spain and most of the rest of Europe. This page has some useful Q&As - http://www.bluevalleycarhire.com/minibus-rental-information.htm
