Renting a car in Spain (for 6 people)

Hello!

We are going to drive from Granada to seville and make a few stops along the way (antequerra for lunch) does anyone have a recommendation on a car rental company? We are obviously going to need a big car. :)

plus luggage..................... tough one.
How long will you stay in Seville? Given the size of your posse I urge you to consider taking the train to Seville and then doing a day trip (via bus/train) to Ronda.

Check with AutoEurope a well respected US consolidator that offers vehicles from competing rental companies. I've used them a number of times and their Maine-based staff is great.

You will need a van. Even the biggest of cars only come with 5 seats. The old bench seat in front died many years ago. You might find it cheaper to rent two smaller vehicles and that would help solve luggage problems.

AutoEurope has a three-day minimum. The first suggestion is a good one.

you don't need a van. we rented a 7-seater through enterprise a few weeks ago. it was smaller than a US minivan (more like a tall station wagon) and very easy to drive. funnily enough the car we got was an Alhambra.

i was able to park it in lots in antequerra, granada, seville, cordoba and other towns in the region with a bit of wrangling. there was one 30-point turn involved. be mentally prepared for that. :-)
