With current information, for 9 people, it is better to take one
8-seater and one normal car, not necessarily from the same company,
and I got a marginally cheaper offer for an 8-seater:

 - 8-seater from connecto-taxi: 275,- EUR

 - Better offer: 8-seater from http://www.foxtransfer.eu/: 253,- EUR;
   I asked them about 9 people, maybe they have something
   cost-effective. The address they'll reply to is an alias that
   starting right now includes me and Ian Campbell.

 - normal car (1-3 persons) from http://en.taxizagreb.hr/: 160,- EUR
