You'd probably want to look at a Premium Crossover (PGAR) or 7-passenger SUV (FFAR), or even a Minivan (most space).
Note that a Ford Explorer (7-passenger) would be considered an RFAR at Avis/Budget and an FRAR at Hertz/Dollar/Thrifty whereas a Ford Expedition or similar with all companies would be an FFAR.
Alamo do class the Explorer as an SFAR, I checked with them (crazy I know). Our issue is that Alamo don't offer RGAR or FFAR when returning the vehicle to a different location, which is why we're between the two types of SUV. It's the same with National and Enterprise too
