Can I drive a nine-seater car in Greece?
We are travelling to mainland Greece and have hired a car for our family holiday. We're a family of six and the smallest car I could find to fit us all in was a nine seat. I took my test after 1997 but know that that I'm able to drive and hire uptown 16 seats without a permanent licence as long as its not for Hire or Reward. Is this still the case in Greece, I can't find anything to tell me otherwise as other than UK licence laws apply?

We cannot specifically find rules for Greece, but we reckon you'd be okay to hire a nine-seat vehicle and drive it on a standard UK/EU licence. This is described as being permitted in "most European countries", and Greece is not known for being overly strict on that front.
