Renting a Mini Van - Nervous Never Driven One Before

Question

I am going away in 2 weeks and have rented a Mini Van to drive to my destination. I drive a Nissan Sentra and am a bit nervous about driving a Mini Van. I have rented a Dodge Caravan. Any suggestions / things I should know / do's & donts?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Just like you Nissan but longer> Don't turn corners close>You will get used to it> wind makes it move on the express way>When threw you might want 1>

Answer 2

i have the same car that ur renting and ive driven it a few times ( i dont have a license yet but a permit)

first off lemme tell u that its much different from driving a regular car even tho my parents say its the same as our corolla...its different the vehicle is much larger and the transmission (if thats what u call it) feels totally different like ull feel like ur driving a large vehicle the steering wheel is much less resistant when u turn it so go easy on the turning..u have to slow down a little more on curves and turns since ur vehicle is larger.

i try to avoid driving that car bc its so large but take it easy and u should be fine like i said without a license ive driven it a couple of times...its not necassarily harder but takes a bit of getting used to in terms of handling the car.

the plus side is u'll have greater visibility of the road since ur higher up  

Answer 3

don't worry about it.

do enjoy your vacation.

a dodge minivan, especially a new one like you've rented, drives like a large car.  it'll actually be a little faster than your sentra, but won't handle quite as well.  slow down a little more for corners and relax.  life is good.
