Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a cargo van?
• Basic cargo van (e.g., Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster): $19–$95/day (U-Haul/Home Depot start at $19 + mileage; Enterprise/Budget at $50–$95)
• High-roof or extended models: $75–$129/day
Weekly rates drop 20–40% with unlimited mileage options. Add-ons like insurance ($15–$30/day) and mileage (0.70–$0.99/mile beyond free allowance) can add $100–$300 total for a 3-day local rental.
Can I tow a trailer with a rental cargo van?
Yes—most cargo vans are tow-capable with the right setup:
• Standard models (e.g., U-Haul Ford Transit): Up to 3,500–5,000 lbs towing (with optional hitch, $10–$25/day)
• Larger Sprinter or high-roof vans: 5,000–6,500 lbs (e.g., United Rentals or Sprinter Rentals)
Specify towing needs at booking; all major companies (Enterprise, Penske) provide hitches and require towing insurance. Not all vans include it by default—check GVWR to avoid overload.
Do I need a special license to rent a cargo van?
No special license is required for standard cargo vans under 26,001 lbs GVWR (99% of rentals). A regular Class C/D driver’s license is sufficient in all 50 states, as long as you’re 18+ (21+ for some companies like Penske). International drivers need a valid license + English translation. For commercial use or vans over 26K lbs (rare), a CDL may apply—rental companies verify upfront.
Which companies offer one-way cargo van rentals?
Several do nationwide, but options vary by distance:
• Budget Truck Rental: Best for affordable one-way (e.g., $1,900 cross-country)
• U-Haul: Local one-way only (no interstate for vans); great for short hauls
• Penske: Unlimited miles on one-way (vans limited to round-trip in some markets)
• Enterprise/Avis: Available at airports; compact vans for city-to-city
Home Depot/Lowe’s are local-only. Always confirm routes—cross-state adds 20–50% to fees.
