Hi, we are a family of 6, some grown up and left home, but we are holidaying together in Toronto region soon. We want to hire something like a Ford Galaxy.

We had one for years, then a Mitsubishi Grandis - in both cars you can travel 6 + plenty of luggage because you can arrange the seating 2 in front, 3 in middle, 1 in back with 7th seat folded down to give luggage space, so for 6 people the seating is 2+3+1. Same with pretty much every MPV in Europe. I am just off the phone to Avis in Toronto. Every MPV there (from the USA market) is 2 in front +2 in middle plus bench or small 3 seats in the back, meaning it is impossible to hire a car that will take 6 people plus luggage! - you can't even carry 5 people without using the 3rd row, and certainly not 6 plus luggage.

Next we looked at hiring 2 x mid sized cars, something like a Golf, preferably an Estate... with 2 of them we could seat 6 between 2 cars easily with plenty of luggage space. NOT IN THE USA (or Canada) forget it, they only do "sedans" which have s*** about of boot space.

Its not as if Vauxhall and Ford aren't USA owned ! This has the potential to ruin a holiday 3 years in the planning, right now I am in despair, don't know what to do. Any tips? anyone know the USA/Canada rental scene and know of something we should rent?

Thanks

Guy
