What's the maximum number of passengers I can take in my hire car?
We explain how many people you are allowed to have in your hire car.
Each passenger needs a seat belt, so the number of seat belts in a rental car dictates the maximum number of passengers allowed.
Car hire insurance generally covers vehicles with up to 9 seats (including the drivers) . One company only covers up to 7 seats.
