The Familycar hire category, which is also known as Full-size or Standard, is perfect for those who want a spacious and comfortable drive on their next holiday. One of the most popular models in the Family vehicle range is the Mercedes C-Class which is perfect for up to five passengers plus luggage.
Auto Europe offers a variety of cars in this category. We guarantee a vast choice of available vehicles through our partnerships with internationally renowned rental companies when you hire with us. Compare models and prices from different suppliers and choose the most suitable vehicle for your next holiday. Family car hire category vehicles are especially popular in destinations with wide open roads such as the USA, Austria and Germany. Book a car for your next trip in Munich and discover Bavaria behind the wheel of a spacious and powerful vehicle.
The big North American car manufacturers such as Ford, Chrysler and General Motors first coined the term "full-sized car" as a marketing term to promote these vehicles to large groups or families undertaking long-distance driving. The term was also used to point out the difference between the smaller models and promote their larger and better equipped vehicles.
Family-size cars are a powerful and generously-sized choice for your next holiday. With plenty of luggage space, they are well-suited for families or larger groups, or simply those looking for comfort. Due to this reason they will generally cost more than their smaller-sized counterparts.
Cars in this category are often equipped with leather seats, sunroof, premium audio system, and high-class security and entertainment products. Due to their size and weight, these vehicles have impressive engines, so clients can overtake and drive on difficult terrain with ease.
We offer an extensive range of Family class car hire to suit all needs and budgets - from sedans and coupés to vans and SUVs.
A popular Family-size choice is the Audi A4. This impressively designed model comfortably fits up to five passengers plus luggage. Another highly economical model is the Mercedes SLK, which is perfect for two passengers looking for a high-class convertible vehicle for their next trip. For those travelling with more than five passengers, the Renault Espace is a suitable choice. With room for seven people, this French van is perfect for longer road trips. Especially popular in Europe, this van is recommended for French wine valleys such as Provence and Marseille.
