Compare minivans, people carriers and larger passenger vehicles at Palermo Airport for families, wedding groups and friends travelling together around Palermo and Sicily. Check the real seat layout, luggage capacity and driver requirements.
Passenger vans and minivans are practical for larger groups arriving at Palermo Airport, but vehicle width matters in Sicily. If your plans include Palermo's historic centre or small hill towns, consider where you will park and whether a smaller people carrier would be easier than a full-size van.
