The Death of the Minivan

I'm not sure it's just the US

We're renting a car in France soon for 4 adults and luggage - I assumed the venerable Espace would be the move, but the hire websites didn't offer them

Looking at the wiki page, it now seems to have turned into an SUV...

I don't know -- we rented a car for 5 adults + luggage in FR a few years ago, and we wound up with a Citroen C3 Aircross[1].

"This is the biggest one we have" was the only answer we got, so we made it work.

I believe we ended up booking a 3008; although somehow the hire companies get away with cheekily putting '*or similar vehicle', so who knows
