Top Tips for hiring a van in Duluth
- If you’ll be using your Duluth cargo van rental to move items in the downtown area of Duluth, you may want to select a rental location that’s close to this part of the city. Enterprise Rent-A-Car at 301 East Central Entrance, Budget at 2500 Mall Drive, and Acar Auto Rental at 2521 Miller Trunk Hwy are three options that are less than 5 miles from Canal Park. All of these locations are west of the city center, along the Route 53 / Route 194 corridor.
- In general, traffic in Duluth runs fairly smoothly. You may encounter more congested roads during the morning and evening rush hours, especially between 7 am and 8:30 am and again between 4 pm and 5:30 pm. London Road, East Superior Street, and the entrance/exit ramps for I-35 are some of the busiest areas during these rush hours.
- When renting a cargo van in Duluth in the winter, be sure the van is equipped with snow tires, as this area gets about 86 inches of snow each winter. In fact, you should be ready to see snow any time between October and March. The city is also quite hilly in areas, making snow tires even more important. Fortunately, cargo vans handle more like large SUVs than big box trucks, so they are a good option if you need to be moving a large load of boxes or other bulky items around the city. The cargo area is also enclosed, which is an advantage over hauling items in an exposed bed of a pickup truck in foul weather.
- When driving your Duluth cargo van rental around the city, keep in mind that the speed limit is 30 mph unless otherwise posted. Also, remember that it is illegal to use a cell phone when driving unless you are using a hands-free device. If you’re unfamiliar with where you’ll be driving, you may want to either rent a cargo van that is equipped with a navigation panel or bring your own cell phone mount that you can use in the van.
FAQs About Hiring a Van in Duluth
Where is the best place to rent a cargo van in Duluth?
The location with the best selection of Duluth cargo van rentals is the Duluth International Airport (DLH). Here you’ll find a number of major rental companies, including Avis, Budget and Hertz. The car rental counters are inside the terminal’s main lobby, between the ticketing counters and baggage claim. The airport is located in the western part of the city, just about 6.5 miles northwest of City Hall in downtown Duluth.
What are the requirements to rent a cargo van in Duluth?
When renting a cargo van in Duluth, you must be at least 21 years old and have a valid driver’s license. Be aware that many individual car companies require drivers to be at least 25 years old, or they may charge an additional fee for drivers under 25 years of age. If you’re a Minnesota resident and you already have auto insurance, your policy is required by state law to cover collision insurance for your rental car so you won’t need to purchase this insurance with your rental.
What is the best place to park a cargo van rental in Duluth?
There are plenty of parking options in the city for Duluth cargo van rentals. In the downtown area, there is on-street parking that is either metered in the busiest areas or free in the less congested areas farther away from the waterfront. There are also several public lots and garages (or “ramps”) downtown, including the municipal lot at 415 Depot Rd, the Hartley lot at 736 E. Superior St, and the Civic Center garage at 401 W 1st St.

Pros:
I was sitting at the Philadelphia airport waiting for my flight when I received a call from Avis telling me that they would be closed when I arrived at 9:48 from Chicago. I live in a remote rural area, and was completely stranded in Duluth. It seems to me thatCons:
It seems to me that if you have a car rental, someone should stay at the desk until the last flight comes in. The later, the more urgent this is.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Staff was helpful. Extended the reservation to one week because I wasn’t sure how long I would need the car and then dropped it back down to the original price when it was only one day after all.Cons:
Low comfort rating is because the car (2019 Volkswagen Jetta) beeped loudly whenever the door was open while idling. I was delivering newspapers and over 7 hours I had to open the door probably 150 times. Fried my nerves and I have never despised a car so much in my life. But not Avis’ fault.Budget

Pros:
Great staff at Enterprise in Duluth. Very accommodating staff. Will use again in the future.Cons:
The car would chug when you are starting to accelerate after being at a stoplight. When I returned the car I let them know of the problem only to find out it is a feature on the car for emissions/fuel economy? It would have been nice to know that ahead of time.10.0 Wonderful

Feb 2017
Pros:
I made my reservation online to rent a car on 1/30/2017 and bought the auto insurance to go with it. The charge of $45 was billed immediately and I was to pay for the car when I checked in. He told me I couldn't get the car bc I didn't have a Credit Card in my name...I was upset bc I've never been denied a rental before and it was a huge inconvience for me. I didn't complain, and went on my way. However, the insurance charge is still showing on my account and was never reversed at time of check in. I asked the employee who worked front desk, but he said he couldn't help me. How do I go about getting these charged reversed? Thank you for your time, Holly ThomasCons:

Pros:
Price, car was clean, I was able to book easily online (and at the last minute).Cons:
No economy available, was given a Ford Focus (which has terrible visibility). Also wish there was a pick-up and drop-off downtown rather than only the airport option.Easirent
