Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Noumea are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Toyota Commuter, Toyota Minibus, Toyota Tarago 8 Seater and Kia Carnival.
Standard capacity of a minivan in New Caledonia is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.
Please note, that in order to rent in New Caledonia a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Noumea.
Before leaving the parking garage in Noumea, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.
