Nothing beats a minivan for practicality. SUVs, wagons, crossovers? They
each have strengths, but when it comes to carrying people and cargo,
none can do it like a minivan. We can thank Chrysler for introducing us
to this multi-purpose vehicular invention more than 20 years ago,
spawning a field of competitors that has grown fat and, more recently, a
bit thinner with the announced departure of GM and Ford models. Unlike
those domestics, Chrysler continues to fight on with the Japanese and
Koreans, packing an especially powerful punch with the 2010 Town &
Country’s new engine, new styling, and one of the most versatile
interiors ever offered. Models go on sale this fall. he minivan has
always been one of the most dependable and affordable vehicles on the
road. Many models offer room for eight passengers along with excess
cargo and storage area. The newer minivan models now include a wide
variety of perks, like dual side sliding doors, a remote controlled
back-hatch and dual zone climate control. Minivan Rentals is proud to
offer a variety of Mini Van Rentals minivans at affordable rental
prices. Minivans are a great rental option, especially if you are going
to be traveling with children. Minivans are safe, comfortable and easy
to drive, so go ahead and reserve your Minivan Rentals minivan today!

What We Think
With the exception of the 300 sedan, which has been on the market for
quite some time, Chrysler is running a little lean on hits. The Dodge
Durango-based Aspen SUV isn’t exactly flying off the lots, and the
redesigned Sebring has received mixed responses, with the pendulum
swinging toward the negative. We’re expecting the 2010 Town & Country to
receive a much more favorable reception, not necessarily because of its
boxier styling, but because of the engineers’ ability to provide
innovative interior design without drastically changing existing
dimensions. This new version matches the competition and then some, and
remains one of the premier examples of practical family transportation.
Now, if they’d work on pumping out more than 240 horses….
Minivans have long been stereotyped as the "Soccer Mom" vehicle but a
minivan is actually very useful in a variety of situations. Many
minivans come equipped with removable bench seats, which allow a minivan
to transform into a compact moving truck! The carpeted interior guards
against nasty nicks scratches, while the rear and side doors make for
convenient loading ports. Minivans are also comfortable people-movers;
with increased leg and shoulder room, minivans are great for
transporting sports teams to tournaments, band members to concerts and
family members to reunions! Learning how to drive a minivan is as easy
as pie… a few simple trips around the block and you'll be ready to
embark on your journey!
What it Looks Like
The face is taller, the headlights more rectangular, and the short
wheelbase version has been scrapped. Along the flanks, designers have
added more pronounced wheel flares, less curvaceous sheet metal, and
what looks to be a higher beltline. The tailgate is flatter, offering
less visual detail, and is offset by square taillight lenses which
replace the wedged lamps of the 2010 model. Compared to the model it
replaces, the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country has an extra two inches of
wheelbase, is two inches longer, is more than an inch narrower, offers
nearly the same cargo space, and compares evenly in terms of interior
room (except for losing more than an inch of second row leg room).
What’s Inside
Inside is where you’ll find the
2010 Chrysler Town & Country
rentals golden
jewel. It’s more of a collection of goodies rather than just one item.
Take, for instance, the optional Swivel ’n Go second row buckets that
can be turned 180 degrees to face the power folding and stowable third
row bench and available center activity table, the front sliding
console, the integrated second row child booster seat, the adjustable
LED reading lights, the stain-resistant cloth seats (leather optional),
or the dishwasher-safe cupholders. That’s in addition to a DVD system
that can simultaneously play two videos, three-row side-curtain airbags,
available Stow ’n Go seating, rear power windows, and an available
506-watt stereo that promises to drown-out noisy kids (“Sorry, Mommy
can’t hear you!”).
Minivans are also designed to keep you and your passenger's safe in
the event of an accident. Minivans are built up higher than the majority
of the cars on the road giving them an increased level of visibility.
Minivans are also built sturdy, performing well in many crash testing
scenarios. Most models of Mini Van Rentals minivans come equipped with
ABS brakes and a complex air bag system designed to protect not only the
front occupants but also the back occupants of the van in the case of an
emergency.
Minivans are efficient and dependable vehicles that have been
proven to handle well in almost any type of environment. A minivan
rental from Minivan Rentals makes a great choice… for any occasion! Plus

Why it Matters
Fewer folks are buying minivans these days, due largely to the
mommy-mobile stigma and proliferation of crossover models. Couple that
with new or redesigned models from the Japanese and Koreans, and it’s
easy to comprehend how hard Chrysler has to work for each minivan sale.
They’ve trudged along with some interior innovations and robust
incentives, but a redesigned vehicle is what has really been needed. The 2010 Town & Country, host to a bevy of unique interior features and a
new style, should not only spell relief for Chrysler van fans waiting
for a new look, but also may give pause to shoppers ready to drop ink on
a Honda or Hyundai.
What’s Under the Hood
Chrysler and Dodge are offering the 2010 line of minivans – the Town
& Country and the Grand Caravan – with three engine choices. They
include a 3.3-liter, flex-fuel V6 that’s good for 170 horsepower and
works with a four-speed automatic transmission; a 3.8-liter V6 that
produces 198 horses and is mated to a six-speed automatic tranny; and a
new 4.0-liter V6 that pumps out 240 horsepower and is mated to the
six-speed transmission. The all-wheel drive option has been dropped, so
all of the new vans put power to the front wheels only, which depending
on the trim level, will measure 16 or 17 inches in diameter.
Over the years minivans have gained immense popularity, outranking
smaller sedans and pick up trucks in numerous competitions. Minivans are
efficient and powerful vehicles, with the ability to tow small trailers
and transport mid-weight cargo. If you're in the midst of moving, why
not
rent a minivan from
Minivan Rentals? This way you'll be able to cut back on the cost of
hiring movers but transporting the majority of the smaller items
yourself. For more information on reserving your very own Minivan
