Houston, USA: minivan rental hints
Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Houston are: Chevrolet Suburban 8 Seater, Chevrolet Uplander, Chrysler Voyager, Dodge Caravan, Ford Clubwagon 15 Seater and GMC Envoy 7 passenger.

Standard capacity of a minivan in USA 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 USA 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 Houston.

Before leaving the parking garage in Houston, 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.

Driving Advices for USA – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
Curbs along local roads are often painted in different colors. It is strictly prohibited to stop and parking cars on a road with a red curb. Roads with yellow curbs signify that it is possible to pick up and put off passengers, but this should be done very quickly.
It is allowed to stop and park a car for a short time next to the green curb, but in no case should one park a car near the blue curb - these are special parking spaces for the disabled. It is also possible to pick up and put off passengers near the white curb.
If you see the “STOP” sign on your way, make sure you stop the vehicle completely. You will need to stay there at least 3 - 5 seconds. If you just “pass” the sign by slowly, this can result in a large fine of up to US$80.
