Unless the OP is travelling with children and possibly needing extra space for car seats and such, I'd go along with those who suggested renting two Corolla type/size cars.

We've traveled with a group issue on many occasions and it took us but one trip to realize the better part of valor for all concerned is to have an extra car. Someone always seems to want to go in a different direction or sleep in a little later than the rest. As for going to dinner, as was stated, you can all squeeze into one car if you're of a mind to but it will be close, for sure.

It can really cut down on tension and stress levels if you're traveling with enough drivers to make the second car work and two smaller cars, besides giving you a lot of extra freedom, will probably cost about the same amount as the large passenger SUV or Van in the end. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
