Would anyone care to suggest where I can rent a Van in the U.K. Similar to a GMC Savana, Ford E350 or a Ford Transit, that would seat 8 passengers comfortably, and allow space for plenty of luggages (9 full size luggages) for around 10 days. THANK YOU!

Hertz has a 12 seater, some of the other usual suspects probably have similar. The reason I mention a van this size is that while there is no problem getting an 8 seater, it is our experience that getting sufficient space for storing luggage is more of a problem. You can either ask for a roof rack (if available) or utilise any unused seats, we have done the second.

We have rented vehicles twice from them and found they have terrific rates and no charges to drop off in a different location.

If you want to rent a 12 seater make sure your drivers licence allows you to do that. I'm not sure about the regulations in the UK but in most of Europe you need a special licence to transport more than 8 people.

I think the UK rules on driving larger vehicles partly hinge on whether the vehicle is being driven for hire/reward (ie paying passengers) or personal use. The rental company should be able to put you straight.
