A 7-seat minivan that drives like a car
The Volkswagen Caddy Maxi is a comfortable and practical multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), otherwise known as a people carrier. It comes with seven seats as standard to fit large groups or families—and plenty of luggage.
It’s a great choice if you’re not super-experienced driving larger vehicles. That’s because it handles, steers, and brakes like a car. The only difference is that the VW Caddy is a little taller, and you’re likely to be driving it with more people in it.
The VW Caddy will happily handle any trip you have planned in Iceland. Planning day trips from Reykjavík? It’ll easily and comfortably get you and travel companions to your destinations. Tackling the Ring Road or a longer road trip? The Caddy will manage those extra hours on the road too.
It’s important to be aware, though, that the VW Caddy is not a 4x4. That means it’s not suitable for trips into the highlands, where you’ll need to drive on unpaved roads. You’ll need a 4x4 SUV or VW Caravelle Minivan for that.
What features does a VW Caddy Maxi have?
The Volkswagen Caddy Maxi is a 5-door, 7-seater minivan, with a manual transmission. It’s available in either diesel or petrol—check which fuel it needs when you pick it up.
Like all Höldur vehicles, the Caddy also comes with:
- A Bluetooth connection
- Heated front seats
- Air conditioning
- Power windows
- Adjustable power steering
- Remote locking
- Anti-lock brakes.
If you need to be shown around the vehicle before you drive it away, don’t hesitate to ask Höldur staff. They’ll be happy to show you.
Who can hire a VW Caddy Maxi minivan?
The VW Caddy Maxi is the best choice for large groups or families. It will be overkill for solo travellers or couples as it seats up to 7 people. It’s also important to remember that you can’t drive it in the highlands.
To hire the VW Caddy Maxi, you need to be at least 23 years of age. You also need:
- A valid driving licence, which you’ve had for at least one year
- A credit card, that’s valid for at least the period of rental
- A passport, to prove your identity.
We always recommend that you book your preferred vehicle in advance. During busy seasons, popular vehicles can become unavailable.
