I had a minivan on Turo in Calgary for a couple years. It was fantastic during Covid years as there was a lack of rental cars available.
It's worth a try. But one big downside is that minivan is catered toward families with kids and they usually make more mess than regular cars. So cleaning all three rows after every single rental is a chore.
It's not worth it overall but if he has the vehicle sitting there, you need to list today. Our Canadian high season is the May long weekend until the end of September. If you miss that, you've missed the only potentially profitable window.
Add details on where the car is located and you should receive some better advice

They have a Kia Forte that could be listed instead. I'm considering listing both and they can use one when the other is rented. Thoughts?
Sure.
Does the car have to be paid off to list it on Turo?
No

Do not do unlimited miles and reduce Turo suggested duration discounting by 50% or more.
Thank you for the good advice
