Favour needed please

Hello people, I need a quick favour.
My family is visiting from the UK at the end of the month and I am going to need an 8 seater people carrier/minibus to transport them around. Does anybody know of a company that would have one as I have contacted all the major name car rental companies and they either have none or 7 seaters only.
I only need it for around 4-6 days so I don't really care what it looks like as long as it is safe.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks

Which dates are they coming? if you need it before the 26, you can take my Durango, you can squeeze 3 on the back .. Or just drive 2 cars, you and Fay ...

You will also need help to pick them up from the airport I guess, because even if you find an 8 seater, there will be no space for laguage .. I can assist you in this if they are coming after 4 p.m.

Aye, thanks for the offers guys. I really appreciate it. Iguana, they arrive on the 29th of december and return on the 9th of January. We are gonna take my car and have half of them take a taxi with Fay and the other half come home with me as they land at around 03:00 am. Thanks though Islam. Fay don't have a license so the 2 cars is out of the question, if she did I would've hired a yaris or tiida for the 2 weeks.

I tried to call autobahn but they are closed so I emailed them, I will wait and see what the say first then get back to you.
Is it ok to have 8 people in an Explorer/durango though, I thought they where only 6 seaters.

The Durango and Explorer have extra 3rd seat, but now as they are coming on 29th till 8th, I have to withdrew my offer because I might need the car that time.

Airport pick up is OK I think the 30th is a day off ... If so, no problem for 3.30 a.m. Otherwise, again sorry, I am working next day

The simple fact that you offered is enough Igunana. Thanks for the offer, and like I said, I will see if autobahn can sort me out, but if not I will get back to you later in the week. And Yehia, I may take you up in the offer yet, I will speak to you soon. Thanks guys. :ad4x4:

Should anyone doubt the intentions of this club, this post just says it all. A couple of weeks ago Jax & Yehia kindly offered to swap my H3 for a Wrangler for the AD Adventure fun, which very sadly I have had to withdraw from as I am off on a work mission.
Here we have Islam and Yehia offering their cars, long live AD4x4.

Get a Tayota HiAce!! You can fit 8 people easy and luggage... These cars are basic but great for driving a bunch of people around. Plus i think they are cheaper to rent than most "luxury" 8-seaters. You dont need a special license or these.

We rented one once for an event, dont have the contact but can find it for you. Let me know.

And if ur lazy u can also rent a HiAce with driver

Have fun with ur family!
