Toyota Rumion: 7 Seater Family Car Rental
from 0 review
Overview
The big family car to rent in Seychelles is the Toyota Rumion, a seven-seat people carrier at €60 per day from SeyBooking.com. It is the only seven-seat car in our fleet: three rows in a 2+3+2 layout, with a sliding, reclining middle bench and a third row for two. Automatic, air-conditioned with roof vents for the back rows, 209 litres of boot with all seven seats up and about 550 litres with the third row folded. It is the car for families, groups of friends and anyone who needs a big car on Mahé. No deposit, no credit card held, no minimum rental, free delivery to Seychelles International Airport or your hotel, and insurance and unlimited mileage included. A single day of 24 hours or less is €120, charged as two days.
Why the Rumion
Seven people landing in Seychelles used to mean two cars. Two rentals, two drivers, two parking spaces at the beach and a convoy on the way to dinner. The Toyota Rumion puts seven seats in one car at €60 a day, the same daily rate as a five-seat SUV, and far less than two cars at €90 or more a day between them.
The layout is simple and it works. The middle row is a three-seat bench that slides forward and back and reclines, so the people in the middle can trade legroom with the third row. The third row takes two, and it is best for children and shorter adults on the longer drives. The second-row bench tips forward to let them in. Roof-mounted air-conditioning vents reach the back rows, which matters on a hot afternoon at Anse Royale.
Under the Toyota badge it is the same proven 1.5-litre four-cylinder as the Suzuki Ertiga and XL6, with mild-hybrid assist and an automatic gearbox. It is 4.4 metres long and 1.7 metres wide, a bigger car than most of our fleet, so take the narrow mountain stretches calmly. On the coast roads and the main routes it is relaxed and quiet, and light on fuel for its size.
Be realistic about luggage. With all seven seats up the boot is 209 litres, which is day bags and shopping, not seven suitcases. Fold the third row and it becomes a large load bay of about 550 litres for five people and their cases. If you are seven people with seven large suitcases, add a second car or a transfer for the airport run and we will arrange it. The Rumion is available on Mahé only.
Rumion or XL6: the two family cars
We now have two family cars on Mahé, and they suit different groups. Both are automatic, both are €60 a day, both come with free delivery and no credit card held. The Suzuki XL6 seats six, with two captain chairs in the middle row and a walkway through to the third row. The Toyota Rumion seats seven, with a three-seat bench in the middle.
Seven people take the Rumion, because it is the only car in the fleet that carries all of you. A family of five or six with young children often prefers the Rumion too: the wide middle bench takes two child seats with an adult between them, and there is no deposit at handover. Six adults who value their own armrest and an easy walk to the back row may prefer the XL6.
A family of four folds the third row flat and has a large load bay for every suitcase. A family of five folds half of the split third row, so one rear seat stays up and the other half takes the cases.

A big car for groups of friends
Five or six friends on Mahé usually end up in two small cars, or in taxis that cost more each day than the whole rental. The Rumion takes the whole group to Beau Vallon for dinner, to the trailhead at Morne Blanc and back from the beach at Anse Intendance in one car, with one designated driver and one parking space. Split between six friends, €60 a day is €10 each, and the second driver is free.
Fold the third row for a weekend of dive gear, snorkels, cool boxes and beach bags, or keep all seven seats up for the day trips. It is an automatic, so whoever drives does not have to fight a clutch on the hills.
People carrier and minivan rental in Seychelles
Seychelles has very few minivans for hire, and the vans that exist are mostly used by transfer companies with a driver. If you are searching for a minivan, an MPV or a people carrier to drive yourself, the Rumion is the answer on Mahé: a self-drive seven-seater with automatic gearbox, delivered to the airport, with no deposit, no card hold and no minimum rental. For a group bigger than seven, book the Rumion with the Suzuki XL6 and thirteen people travel in two cars at €120 a day together.
Picking the Rumion up at the airport
Car rental at Seychelles International Airport works differently here than it does in Europe. There is no rental desk to queue at in arrivals and no airport surcharge on the rate. We bring the Rumion to Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé, hand over the keys and the paperwork, and you drive out. Delivery and collection are free, at any hour, and if your flight is delayed the car waits, because we watch the arrival rather than the booking time.
The rate is the rate: €60 per day in 2026, insurance and unlimited mileage included, an additional driver at no charge, and free cancellation. There is no credit card held against the booking, which is the part most visitors ask about first, because most international rental companies block several hundred euro on a card before they release a car. We do not. You pay cash or card when the car reaches you. There is no deposit on the Rumion either, so nothing changes hands at the car door except the keys.
Good to know
What guests say
The rental experience our guests get on the ground, from car condition to airport and jetty pickup and support.
Renting a car through the website was very simple and practical. On Mahé, the car was handed over to us in spotless condition, and we had no issues at all during the return process. A very reliable company.
The whole process was smooth from start to finish. The car was clean, reliable, and perfect for exploring the island. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive whenever we needed anything. Pick-up and drop-off were easy, and the prices were very reasonable compared to others we checked.
The support over WhatsApp is exceptional. Cars are clean and in very good condition. We had the car dropped off right at the airport terminal, so no taxi or bus for the transfer. Pay cash or card on arrival. Easy, fast, perfect.
