LARGE PASSENGER VAN RENTAL ADVICE & TIPS
LARGE VANS WITH SEATING FOR OVER 10 OCCUPANTS
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION LARGE VAN ADVISORY: These vans do not meet Federal Bus Safety Standards and therefore can not be used to transport children in any grade up to and including the twelfth grade, other than family members, for any school-related functions.
Rollover risks for the12-passenger van dramatically increase as the number of occupants rises toward full capacity. Putting any kind of load on the roof of the Van also contributes to this risk.
These two conditions will change the larger van’s center of gravity, making the van less resistant to rollover and allows it to handle differently from smaller vehicles, creating more difficulty to control situations in an emergency. Most rollovers are single-vehicle incidents where the vehicle leaves the road and overturns when it strikes softer soil, an embankment or ditch, or another object.
TIPS FOR PREVENTING ROLLOVER
Be well rested, maintain a safe and legal speed for the weather and road conditions and be especially careful on curved and dimly lit rural roads. If the wheels do drop off the roadway, gradually reduce the speed and carefully steer back onto the roadway as soon as it is safe to do so.
BUCKLE UP FOR SAFETY
80% of fatalities in rollover accidents are due to passengers not wearing their seat belts. Seat belt use is a must to save injuries and loss of life. It is always the driver’s responsibility to enforce the use of seatbelts.
OTHER TIPS FOR SAFE DRIVING
When the vehicle is not completely full, have your passengers sit in the seats in front of the rear axle. Make sure to obey the maximum seating capacity. Because these vans are substantially longer and wider than cars, they require more space and you will need to rely on the side-view mirrors for passing. These larger vans do not respond as well to abrupt steering maneuvers and will require additional breaking time.
VEHICLE HEIGHT
Be careful entering underground parkades as these vehicles have a height in excess of 82 inches and in some cases may exceed some parking environments.
