Top Tips for Hiring a People Carrier in Charleston

  • If you’re interested in a way to easily travel throughout the city, consider booking Charleston van rentals. By having access to your own vehicle, you’ll be able to quickly go to all the attractions on your to-do list and comfortably transport any cargo or luggage you may have. You also won’t need to worry about navigating public transportation. With Charleston van rentals, you can head to sights that are more removed from the city center, including places like Middleton Place and the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. Whether you’re staying in Downtown Charleston or exploring the surrounding region, a van is a convenient choice.
  • When flying into Charleston International Airport (CHS), you can choose to pick up your car rental directly from the airport. The Rental Car Pavilion can be conveniently found in the Arrivals Terminal just near baggage claim and has desks for over five different companies, including Alamo, Budget, and National. Each company keeps their fleet directly on airport property, making it easy for you to grab your Charleston van rentals. To rent a car in South Carolina, you need to be at least 21 years old and have a valid driver’s license.
  • Stay safe while driving your rental car by making sure that you read up on local traffic laws. For example, all passengers that are under the age of six must be in a proper child’s seat. When going onto a freeway, there will most likely be a ramp-metering signal that allows one vehicle to enter at a time. Unless there is a sign specifically prohibiting it, U-turns are legal. It is the same for making a right-hand turn, as long as you first come to a full stop before doing so. All passengers must wear a seatbelt at all times while in a moving vehicle.
  • Charleston is a popular city for both business and tourism, so you will find that there is often congestion on roads. This is particularly the case during rush hour, which is usually in the mornings and evenings when people head to and from work. To avoid getting stuck in traffic, try not to drive on major roads during these times, such as Interstates 26 and 526.
  • 25% of our users found a people carrier hire in Charleston for £64 or less
  • January is typically the cheapest month to hire a van in Charleston, with prices around £120 per day. The most expensive month is March, with average prices of £179 per day.

FAQs About Hiring a People Carrier in Charleston

  • What are the best car rental locations in Charleston to rent a van?

    One of the most popular locations to pick up a rental car in the city is Charleston International Airport, which is convenient for those that will be flying into the region. There are also several rental locations that are near the city center, including the branches on Meeting Street and Sam Rittenberg Boulevard.

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

    If you’re traveling with a larger group, you may want to rent a Jeep, as these models can often fit upwards of five passengers, in addition to several suitcases. Those that would like to rent a particularly powerful car can always select a Ford instead. To have a vehicle that drives smoothly and is particularly easy to maneuver, opt for a Nissan.

  • Where are the best places to park vans in Charleston?

    It can often be difficult to find free street parking for vans in Charleston, so you may have to opt for a paid option. In the city, you will find several paid choices, including metered parking, parking garages, and parking lots. These options are located throughout town and in some of the busiest neighborhoods, including the French Quarter and Harleston Village. As Charleston is such a popular city to visit, make sure that you start looking for parking early in the day in order to find a spot.

our rental car could not be given to us because the car that we returned in Atlanta the day before had not been registered as returned. We had to make a new rental under different name. Luckily Isaac Mattern the manager helped us with the process. The Atlanta Alamo managers were incompetent.

Easy online selection. The car I requested was actually there (unlike other brands on past). The car seats for the kids were ok. A high back booster option would be nice to have for young kids who are bigger than a toddler seat and too small for just a simple booster. Rental price for kids seats is too much for the value. Those booster seats are old and can be bought for 20$ at Walmart, which I will do instead next time. Slow counter service and the line to leave the garage took almost 10 mins. Overall, good value and nice clean vehicle.

I prepaid my car in full. When I finally got to the counter after waiting an hour in line they had my reservation but said I didn't pay yet. I had to wait another hour for the manager to call me, who was of no help. I had to pay again and this time had to pay $100 more than I paid originally. Not I have to fight with Budget to get my well deserved money back. Absolutely awful. Will never ever rent from Budget again and will tell everyone in the world to stay away.

My rental car was a mini-van instead of the medium size SUV I reserved. More importantly, this vehicle when running had the thermostat stuck at 76 degrees and the screen would not turn on for me to neither adjust temperature or change the radio station. Any time I was driving, the dashboard would beep alerting me of ‘maintenance required’. Also since maintenance was required, the blind side alert and backup camera would not work but again car would beep every 15 seconds reminding me of this fact. The thermostat stuck at 76 degrees made for a very uncomfortable ride and with all the issues with the dashboard I also for some reason could not roll down the windows either. It was stifling hot so I always had a headache due to the temperature in the vehicle. My first time using Budget. Would not recommend.

Car performed well, but smelled from smoke. Very excessive wait time at counter before being able to speak to agent. Pre-registering had almost no effect on the total time required to complete the rental transaction. The rental counter clearly needed more agents on duty, given the long wait time.
