If you’re thinking about hiring a van, it can be confusing and frustrating trying to decide which company to hire from, what sort of van you need, and where do you get the best deals. Even with the internet and all the public resources, it can still be a difficult task making the appropriate decisions. Before you decide, there are a few things to consider first.
- Do you rent from a local or national company?
- What size van do you need?
- How long will you need it?
- When do you have to return the vehicle?
- Can you extend the rental time if needed?
- Do they offer 24 hour roadside assistance?
- Is it unlimited mileage? (if not, what is the rate?)
- Do you need extra insurance?
The van rental industry is a very competitive industry, with many companies competing for your business. Both small (local) and large (national) companies will offer various deals to get you into one of their vehicles, so it’s important to ask the right questions before signing any rental contracts. There are many advantages of renting from a local van rental company, such as being close to home and friendlier service, however national companies must be highly competitive to stay in business and sometimes offer amazing deals. Either way, you’re most likely going to get a decent price if you rent from either. A very important question is asking about mileage. Some rental places will advertise amazing deals but really nail you with the cost per mile. Getting a large van for $49.99 is a great deal.. that is until you find out you are paying $0.50 per mile on top of that.
Depending on the skills and knowledge of the person you talking to, they should be able to assist you in deciding what size van you require. If they know their stuff, they will ask you how many rooms you have and if you have any large furniture. It’s important they know this because moving a 3 bedroom house with a small cargo van won’t work (unless you like making multiple trips).
It’s very important that you take your time when trying to find a cheap van rental, as well as ask a lot of questions. Be sure to call around to a few places and get some quotes as well.
