Top Tips for hiring a van in Athens

  • Compared to other modes of transportation like taxis, buses, and trucks, renting a cargo van from one of Athens Cargo Van Rentals has a number of benefits. These benefits include sufficient space in a cargo van for moving large or bulky items and the enhanced ability to access certain locations in Athens that are easier to access and enjoy if large cargo volumes could be transported securely. Among these are camping and hiking sites like Sandy Creek Park, the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, and Athens Urban Forest. Outdoor adventures in these areas will be more convenient if you have a cargo van that you can use to transport your camping gear, bicycles, hiking gear, and other necessities.
  • Please be aware that operating a cargo van from any of the Athens cargo van rentals is similar to operating any other vehicle in Athens. Similar traffic laws, including the need for a valid driver's license and abiding by speed limits, would apply to your cargo van. However, a cargo van may require some additional safety measures. For example, before you can choose your routes and destinations, you may have to consider your cargo van's size, especially the roof. That is, make sure you have enough clearance before driving around overhanging objects or underneath a bridge.
  • If you're arriving in Athens via air, your most likely destination airport is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). Consider renting a cargo van from the onsite Athens Cargo Van Rentals at ATL to transport your bulky and heavy necessities from ATL to your destinations both inside and outside of Athens. Among the onsite cargo van rentals accessed in ATL's Rental Car Center (RCC) are Thrifty, Budget, and Avis. To connect from ATL's terminals to RCC for your cargo van rental services, you may need to board a courtesy shuttle bus.
  • Athens experiences a morning rush around 8 am and 9:30 am and an evening rush from 5 pm to 6:30 pm. During these rush hours, the Atlanta Highway (U.S. Route 78), College Station Road, Lexington Road, and Gaines School Road are the most affected roads. Consider rearranging your travel schedule to avoid some of these routes, or take advantage of the off-peak hours to enjoy your road trips with your rented van from Athens cargo van rentals.

FAQs About Hiring a Van in Athens

  • Where is the best cargo van rental location in Athens to rent a cargo van?

    You can rent your preferred cargo van brand in Athens from any of the many Athens cargo van rentals, such as Avis, Budget, and Thrifty. These cargo van rentals have about 7 locations in Athens. These locations include significant parking garages and lots along main streets, highways, and off-airport locations like the car rental facility at ATL. Hertz, for instance, has two locations along Atlanta Highway and Ben Epps Drive.

  • What is the most reliable cargo van brand to rent in Athens?

    A rugged-built Nissan NV Cargo van is one of the dependable cargo van brands that can be rented from the Athens cargo van rentals. This cargo van is renowned for having a variety of roof heights, adaptable cargo configurations, and respectable fuel efficiency. Alternatively, consider the roomy and less expensive Chevrolet Express cargo van.

  • Where are the best places to park my rented cargo van in Athens?

    Consider commercial areas and industrial parks with enough space for cargo vans and trucks, public parking lots close to retail establishments, malls, or other public spaces. Inquire about warehouse facilities or storage yards, or some self-storage facilities that provide parking spaces for vehicles, including the cargo vans, when searching for parking spots for your rented cargo van from Athens cargo van rentals.

  • How does KAYAK find such low van hire prices?

    KAYAK compares van hire prices from all major car hire companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.

I was quoted a price on Kayak for one day and Budget charged me for 2 days. We did not have the vehicle for more than 24 hours and paid almost 3 times the price that was quoted on Kayak.

Cons:

The car was in the worst condition of any rental car I’ve ever had. It was dented, scratched, and dirty. I’m sure this didn’t have anything to do with Kayak, but perhaps Budget. The lot where I picked up it was very disorganized as well. I will not use Budget again unless they are the absolute only option.

They did not have my reserved vehicle available, or any suitable substitute. They made no effort to assist me or correct their mistake, and made no apology. They truly did not seem to care that I now had no way to transport six people 500 miles the following day. Will never, ever use or recommend Avis again. This was my experience both with the local branch where I was to pick up my car and with customer service. I spent over 3 hours on the phone or on hold with them and they were unwilling to offer any practical solutions.

They didn’t take any of my 5 debit or credit cards when I got there. I had ubered there from the airport and was basically stuck in the area! The lady was not helpful whatsoever. Real snobby acting. Every other car rental place in town took my cards but them. Said it had to be one of the few credit cards they offered to accept or nothing at all. Felt like my money wasn’t good there. There was nothing on the website that mentioned this.. she said even though I paid online that she still needed a copy of my credit card (that they couldn’t take) and like I said was no help.. rushed to give me a refund and get me out of there. I rent cars regularly and have from Avis in different locations, and NEVER have I experienced such an inconvenience and poor customer service in my life. Don’t go to this location, downtown Athens. Just go with enterprise up the road, they were a lot better!!!
