Does anyone know how to find out which rental companies have 8 seater minivans? Standard minivans are 7 seaters, but Toyota Sienna and others do have an 8 seater option.

Specifically looking for MIA rental location. Thanks

Avis - Chevy Suburban
Hertz - Chevy Tahoe / Yukon
National - Toyota Sienna

Does a weekly rental from Hertz for Tahoe always go for $1000/week?

Dollar website and cust suppot dont show Sienna, CS guy i spoke to said there's no way to reserve this in advance. Sound right based on your experience? Thanks

by the way i noticed in the fine print on the world mastercard coverage that it only covers up to 7 seaters!
I don't know if this is standard for other cc rental coverage or not

. .. And therefore 8 seaters would not be covered.
