You may need to check, but unless you have a PCV license you may not be able to hire more than a 7 seater - I'll have a quick dig and check.

Check if you have D1 on your license

I had immense problems getting anything sorted for going to Le Mans this year. Minibusses need to have either an analogue tacho if they are over a few years old, I think, or a digital tacho if they are newer if your going to drive in France. Fortunately I only needed 9 seats in the end so I got a VW Shuttle 9 seater so no problems.

You might try these people as they were very good and gave us a good price. They are just an agent and ring round all the big boys, the VW came from Budget rent a car in the end. Not sure if they hire minibuses for a pickup in France though...seem to for cars.

If you took your test before 01/01/97 when all the new restrictions came in then you can drive a minibus upto 17seats, I think, as long as its not for hire or reward.
