Hello,
There will be 7 of us traveling through Europe studying battlefields. We are used to a Ford Van that fits 10 people with luggage. Is there any van rental company that rents out a 10-15 person van. Right now, we are booked for a Mercedes V class van, and we think it might be too small.
I can't find a rental company that rent out Ford vans.
Thanks!
Where are you planning to start from and conclude the rental?
Look for a Mercedes Sprinter Van. Larger than the V-class, which is more of a minivan.
You do not say what country you are renting in.
Thank you for your responses!!
We will pick up the van and drop it off at CDG Paris.
I'll look into that van. So far, we have a Mercedes V Class but they feat it may be too small for our luggage.
www.AutoEurope.com has the 9-passenger Toyota Proace and Renault Traffic 9-seaters rentable through the large car rental companies at Paris CDG.
Thanks!!
Has anyone ever used weVan? They say they offer a 9 person Ford Van.
I’m not familiar w/ Wevan.
French regulations only allow the transport of 9 passengers, including the driver, with a car driving license, which is why it can be difficult to find car rental companies that offer vehicles with a larger capacity. In the link below you will see the description of the luggage compartment capacity of the Class V.

How much luggage can a Mercedes V-Class carry for an airport transfer?
An airport transfer in a Mercedes V-Class offers remarkable transport capacity. The vehicle can accommodate up to 8 passengers and easily transport 8 to 10 cabin suitcases or 6 large suitcases, depending on the seat and luggage configuration. Practical and flexible, it guarantees a comfortable and secure journey for groups, families, or professionals.
Skills, practical advice and on-board experience
The Mercedes V-Class is renowned for its superior cargo capacity in the premium van category. In its most popular version with transport companies like French Limousine, the trunk volume varies between 610 and 1,410 liters with all seats in place and up to 4,630 liters with the rear bench removed. This modularity allows the space to be adjusted according to the number of passengers and suitcases: ideal for an airport transfer in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur for groups or travelers with large luggage.
Organizing the loading process relies on a few tips: placing the heaviest luggage first, optimizing space with soft bags, and thinking about the configuration in case of specific needs (strollers, sports equipment, etc.). Journeys to the main airports in the region – Marseille-Provence, Nice-Côte d'Azur or Toulon-Hyères – generally take between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the departure point and traffic. Prices for a private transfer in a Mercedes V-Class start around €130 in the region and vary depending on the distance, date and additional services (personalized welcome, child seats, etc.).
For a comparative approach, the Mercedes S-Class stands out with a slightly smaller trunk, while the Mercedes E-Class is more targeted at business trips with an intermediate volume. More details on the strengths and features are available in the Mercedes V-Class with chauffeur fact sheet .
What types of luggage can be carried in a Mercedes V-Class?
The Mercedes V-Class's generous cargo space allows for the transport of standard suitcases, soft bags, bulky equipment, and large personal belongings. Its versatility is ideal for large families, business groups, or travelers with specific transportation needs.
The French Limousine service: expertise, comfort and punctuality
Choosing an airport transfer in a Mercedes V-Class with French Limousine means benefiting from a high-end service, provided by experienced drivers who are attentive to your expectations throughout the South Region. The combination of Mercedes comfort, flexible equipment and rigorous organization guarantees a peaceful journey, whether you are going on vacation, returning from conferences or on business trips.
