- You’re traveling with 8–12 people
- You want everyone in one vehicle, one driver, one parking spot

Frequently Asked Questions
A 12-passenger van can seat up to 12 people (11 passengers plus the driver). Most have three rows of bench seats behind the front seats (for a total of four rows of seating including the front). This configuration is great for mid-sized groups, for example, two families traveling together or a smaller sports team. You’ll still have plenty of shoulder room and legroom, as these vans are built on full-size van chassis.
Full-size passenger vans (both 12 and 15 seaters) are not known for great fuel economy due to their size and powerful engines. On average, a 12-passenger van might get around 12-15 MPG in the city and a bit more on the highway (perhaps 15-17 MPG), depending on the model and how loaded it is. The 12-passenger models could be slightly more fuel-efficient than the 15-passenger ones because they weigh a bit less, but the difference isn’t huge. Driving habits, like maintaining steady speeds and avoiding rapid acceleration, can help maximize MPG on your trip.
One big advantage of a 12-passenger van is the extra cargo space. With all seats occupied, you typically get the back area (behind the last row) for storage, usually enough for 5-7 medium suitcases (Enterprise, for example, notes 7 bags for their 12-seater model). If you have fewer than 12 people, you can also place luggage on empty seats or the floor. Additionally, many 12-passenger vans come with removable or foldable rear seats, so if you need more cargo room, you can adjust the seating. This flexibility makes the 12-pass van a great choice if you have a lot of gear (like musical instruments, sports equipment, or camping supplies) along with passengers.
Usually, a standard license works in the U.S., but supplier rules vary. Under‑25 renters may face a young renter fee and limited availability. Check the supplier’s requirements at checkout.
Sometimes, it depends on your card. Many credit cards exclude certain vehicle types (including some passenger vans and cargo/moving vans). Credit card benefits typically cover damage/theft to the rental vehicle, not liability. Check your card’s Guide to Benefits and confirm eligibility for a 12‑passenger van before relying on it.
