9-Seater Car Rental in Antalya: One Van for the Whole Group

Travelling with six to nine people? Compare the Fiat Ulysse and Hyundai Staria, see what luggage really fits and what the 27+ driver rule means.

If your group is six to nine people, 9-seater car rental in Antalya can be simpler than it sounds. One vehicle instead of two cars or two taxis means one driver, one parking space and one plan for the whole group. You land together at Antalya Airport, drive to the hotel together and go on the day trips together. Here is who it suits, what we offer, how the luggage really works and what to check before booking.

Who needs a 9-seater (and who does not)

A 9-seater makes sense from six people up: two families travelling together, friends sharing a holiday, or one large family with children and all the kit that comes with them.

Keep one thing in mind: the nine seats include the driver’s. A group of nine means eight passengers and one person at the wheel.

For up to five people a regular car, such as a crossover or SUV, is enough and easier to park; our other cars seat five. From six people up, the two nine-seaters are the way to travel together in one vehicle. The search results show the price of every car for your dates, so you can compare.

Our two nine-seaters: Fiat Ulysse and Hyundai Staria

Two 9-seater minivans can be booked online. Both are automatic, both run on diesel and both seat nine people.

The Fiat Ulysse Automatic:

  • Nine seats in three rows of three
  • Long L3 body, high roof and a generous glass area
  • 2.0 Multijet diesel and an eight-speed automatic gearbox
  • Sliding doors on both sides
  • Air conditioning, Bluetooth, USB, cruise control and parking sensors
  • Room for 7 bags behind the rear row

The Hyundai Staria:

  • A large glass area, so the cabin feels airy
  • Reversing camera and parking sensors
  • Sliding door
  • Air conditioning that reaches the rear rows
  • Bluetooth and USB
  • Room for 7 bags

Choosing between them is a matter of taste. The Staria has the larger glass area and a reversing camera; the Ulysse has the long L3 body, sliding doors on both sides and cruise control.

Luggage: what really fits

Both vans are listed with room for 7 bags. That is generous for a van, but it is not nine large suitcases for nine people, and it is better to work that out at home than in the airport car park.

  • Count your large bags first. The space is listed as seven bags, so treat seven as the limit.
  • With a full van, some people usually bring a soft bag or a backpack instead of a large case. Soft bags squeeze into gaps that hard cases cannot.
  • A pushchair or other family gear takes space too, so count it as luggage.
  • If the group is big and the bags are bigger, ask us by phone or WhatsApp before you book.

Travelling with children? During booking you can add a baby seat (1–8 months), a child seat (1–3 years) or a booster seat (3+ years), up to three seats in total. If more than three children need a seat, ask us first.

Driver requirements

These two vans have their own rule: the driver must be at least 27 years old and have held a driving licence for at least 3 years. Our other cars start at 25 years and 2 years. An additional driver must meet the same conditions as the main one.

A licence printed in the Latin alphabet is valid as it is. If yours uses Cyrillic or Arabic script, you also need an International Driving Permit, ideally arranged before you travel. The details are in our requirements guide and the rental terms.

How to book a 9-seater car rental in Antalya

Choose your pick-up and return dates in the search box on the home page. The price for those dates appears for every car. Then add your details and your flight number. The booking reaches us as a request; our team checks the car for your dates and confirms it by phone or WhatsApp.

What you can count on:

  • Pick-up and return at Antalya Airport are free, 24/7, night landings included.
  • Give us your flight number when booking: we track it, and if the flight is delayed the car waits for you at no extra cost.
  • No deposit and no card hold. Nothing is charged when you book, and you pay when you collect the car, in cash or by card. More on car rental without a deposit and renting without a credit card.
  • Third-party liability insurance and a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) are included. During booking you choose one of three protection packages, and the excess for your car and package is shown there.
  • Free cancellation at any time before you collect the car.
  • Everything you choose while booking is in the total shown at the end. Our guide to what the price includes covers the rest.

Driving a big van around Antalya

A long nine-seater takes a little getting used to. Both vans are automatic, so there is no clutch to manage in city traffic.

  • Sliding doors mean the people in the back do not swing a door into the next car in a tight car park.
  • Parking is hardest in Kaleiçi, along Konyaaltı beach and in the centre in summer. With a long van, head straight for a car park.
  • Day trips often climb into the Taurus mountains. A fully loaded van is heavy, so leave more distance and brake earlier than you would in a small car.

Both run on diesel, and the car is returned with the same fuel level as at handover. Seat belts are compulsory in the front and rear seats in Türkiye, and children under 150 cm need an age-appropriate seat; the other local rules are in our traffic rules guide. If you would rather not start at the airport, see how hotel pick-up and airport return works.

Quick answers

  • What if nobody in the group is 27? Then the 9-seaters are not an option, because their minimum age is 27. Our other cars have a minimum age of 25, but they seat five at most, so a group of six or more would need more than one car.
  • What if neither van is free on my dates? Availability depends on your dates, and our team checks it when your request arrives. If both are taken, try moving your dates by a day or two, or ask us by phone or WhatsApp.

Choose your dates in the search box to see the price for the Fiat Ulysse and the Hyundai Staria. The FAQ answers the rest, and if your plan is a little unusual, ask us before you travel.
