Top Tips for hiring a van in Lansing
- Transportation and delivery jobs can be daunting and time-consuming. However, with Lansing cargo van rentals, you can easily amplify these tasks to your convenience, regardless of the season. For example, cargo vans are handy for transferring your homemade wares from the store to the booth at a nearby market, taking new students to their first year in college, or relocating studio and dorm equipment to a new location. These vehicles are favorites among businesspeople and contractors, including plumbers, painters, carpet installers, dry cleaners, and electricians.
- Capital Region International Airport (LAN) lies about 5 miles from Lansing and is a convenient arrival port if you want to reach the city center as soon as possible. Immediately after landing, you will likely find many people presenting their paperwork to Lansing Cargo Van Rentals to either pick up or drop off their vehicles. This results in long queues at the rental counters and extended waiting time at the garage. As such, it can be frustrating if you are hurrying to catch the next flight. Nevertheless, you can avoid these last-minute inconveniences if you reserve your van online. Also, you stand a better chance to get cheaper rates if you book early.
- Before hitting the road with Lansing cargo van rentals, ensure you have the skills to handle them effectively. Cargo vans are longer, broader, and have higher roofs than standard cars. Therefore, you will need sufficient clearance to compensate for their large sizes when approaching blocks, underpasses, or bridges. In addition, these vehicles have a raised center of gravity, hence reduced stability. To this end, driving within the stipulated speeds and taking extra caution when entering and exiting highways or approaching corners is crucial to avoid tipping.
- Lansing experiences traffic during rush hours when residents troop to and from work. Peak hours for road congestion are from 7:30 am to 8. am and between 4:30 pm and 6 pm Areas on the east and west of town are mostly affected, with 1-496 as one of the most severely affected. Skirting around it might be a great idea lest you get stuck in slow-moving traffic. It is thus recommended to map out your routes before sitting behind the wheel. Consider using Michigan Avenue, as it is usually less congested. The town experiences severe winters, making the roads icy and slippery. Fix your vehicle with winter tires to enhance safety.

Jul 2020
Pros:
The staff was friendly and the car was clean.Cons:
The staff failed to mention that when I ran my debit/credit card at check in that they were required to run it as a debit even though it literally has a MasterCard logo on it??? I had over 6k in the bank ready for the trip and at the last minute my car reservation is declined? Thanks for that :/ Due to this failure, I had to have my son (who has an "actual credit card" according to the staff) drive from Detroit to Lansing to re-rent a vehicle for the trip. When he arrived, and we went back, they had given my car to someone else and stated that all they had left were something like a Geo Metro. A Geo Metro??? Seriously??? Sigh... So, we made a new reservation and asked if they had anything in the same size of larger. They said we have a Mazda3 but it's $7.00 more a day. So, I paid the extra $70 and renter that car instead. So, the $400 plus price i'd already paid for the reservation that was lost, but the price was mysteriously still available. Sigh... I got the car and then seen I only had a little over half a tank of gas? So, went and filled up the car. Additionally, it looked like moisture had gotten behind the instrument window and was so fogged I could barely see the mph gage. Overall, it was a frustrating experience in comparison to the previous 4 visits when I had rented from the exact location, it went smooth as glass! I rarely write this type of review but hopefully, someone else doesn't make the same assumptions I did and have to go through this experience.7.6 Good
Jul 2020
Cons:
The car looked like it had been through an infestation of bugs before I picked it up. Windshield was dirty from bugs and the front of the car was infested with dead bugs. The interior was dirty and dusty. I had to clean the car before leaving on my trip. Once cleaned the car ran extremely well and was very fuel-efficient.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
The rental counter was closed when our flight arrived. Our reservation was for 8pm. Rental counter closes at 7...on a Friday night...when there were reservations and flights still coming in. Poor practice to operate like this. We were only one of many from our flight in the same situation. We had to cab to the hotel and back again in the morning. There was also no snow brush/scraper in the car which was covered in snow and ice when we we picked up the car the next day. The car smelled of heavy smoke. Overall miserable experience.6.0 Okay

Jan 2021
Pros:
It wasn't the locations fault. The staff was friendly.Cons:
I reserved a car online through a discount dealer. So I blame them, really. It allowed me to make the reservation when in fact the location only had minivans left. The minivans would have cost an additional (approximately from memory) $150 or something. I couldn't afford that. Also this location was only accepting credit cards - no debit cards or cash.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
Rented online for Enterprise pick up at the airport. Arrived and Enterprise said we booked at another location, we were a bit confused. The biggest perk from Kayak was pick up and drop off at the airport. Enterprise did not have a shuttle to the different location. We chose another rental car agency at the airport because it was cheaper than the car rental at Enterprise with the added taxi cost to and from new location. Disappointed with both Kayak and Enterprise.10.0 Wonderful
