What are the best Mini Vans for you to Drive
Minivans have become the all purpose family vehicle for several decades now. For large families, minivans have become a second home, with Moms and Dads driving their kids and all their sports equipment to their numerous activities. Minivans have become the most popular vehicle on the road with one in every 15 new vehicles sold in the United States being a minivan. Americans love their minivans because we have been buying a million of them each year since 1993.
Minivans can do many things that other vehicles can't do like carry an entire sports team to their game and out to eat afterwards. SUVs and XUVs have a lot to offer, but just can'tkeep up with all that a minivan has to offer. Minivans may guzzle up the gas, but for all that storage room, and space for kids to have freedom of movement without bothering their sleeping sibling, there's nothing like the comfort of a minivan.
Here are the best four new minivans and their special features:

If you were in the market for a used minivan, the best vehicle to buy would be either a Chrysler Town and Country or a Dodge Grand Caravan. With all the features these two versatile vehicles offer, you can't lose. The Dodge Grand Caravan has not seen many style changes since 2005, so you can get seven- passenger seating for less money than the new model. Of course you would have to go to a reputable dealer to find the vehicle you want. Great deals abound with many dealers still having an inventory from the previous year.
Do you need a lift? Trying to find a mini van rental agency in the sea of agencies is a tiring task. What makes it easier is utilizing the Internet. Before you go on your trip, just use a Google search by typing in, find minivan rentals, and a long list of agencies will appear. A good agency to go with is Enterprise because they have a good reputation and have rental vehicles available in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, and Germany. They offer the most popular minivan rentals that are the Dodge Grand Caravan and the Chevy Uplander. These vehicles are fully loaded with air-conditioning, tilt-cruise control, and room for seven passengers, am/fm stereo, and a six -cylinder engine.
The minivan is a classic vehicle that is still trying hard to be America's favorite vehicle. Whether you want to buy a new or a used minivan, or whether you want to rent one for a special vacation, they are still a great value for the money.
