Nissan NV200
9/7/19

Cons: I hired a Nissan NV200 people carrier (7 passengers and 5 suitcases), or similar. On arrival from a long haul flight with 3 young children I was presented with a Honda BRV. It did have 2 seats which folded up so it could seat 7, but then there was no space for any suitcases, not even 1. They insisted that this was the same as a Nissan NV200. A quick google search will show you otherwise. Eventually I had to pay an extra £250 for a vehicle big enough for my family.
