Top Tips for hiring a van in Durham

  • Summers in Durham can get quite hot and humid. In July and August, average temperatures can soar to 89⁰F. It’s a good idea to make sure your Durham cargo van rental has air conditioning if you’ll be using the van in June, July, August, or September. Fortunately, Durham doesn’t experience an unusual amount of rain. However, if it rains while you’re driving your cargo van, you should be aware that a van packed with a heavy load may take longer to stop than you’re used to, especially if the streets are wet and slippery.
  • When driving in and around Durham, it’s good to remember that the speed limit is restricted to 20 to 35 mph within the city limits. If you’re driving on one of the area’s interstate highways, the speed limits are usually 70 mph. Other major roadways have speed limits up to 55 mph. Of course, you should always check for posted signs to be sure you’re driving at the appropriate speed for the road.
  • If possible, avoid undue frustration by planning to use your Durham cargo van rental outside of the typical Durham rush hours. Most weekdays, the morning rush hour runs from 7 am to 9 am; the evening rush begins at 4 pm and usually starts to lighten up around 6 pm. The numbered routes running through and around Durham, such as Route 147 and I-885, and the roads leading up to these major thoroughfares are some of the most congested areas during rush hour.
  • Cargo vans are a great option when you are moving bulky items around Durham. Because they handle more like passenger vehicles or pickup trucks, they are easy to maneuver around the streets of the downtown area, and they are easy to park along the streets and in driveways. Cargo vans are almost always under posted height restrictions, so you can park them in the city’s parking garages when you need a secure overnight parking option. Cargo vans are not unusually high, so they are easier to load and unload as you move your items from one location to the next.

FAQs About Hiring a Van in Durham

  • Where are the best places to rent a cargo van in downtown Durham, North Carolina?

    There are several good options for Durham cargo van rentals near the city’s downtown area, including the Avis or Budget offices at Northgate Mall, the Hertz office on Hillsborough Road, and the Enterprise office on Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd. If you’re looking for the company in Durham that offers the most cargo van rentals, check out Enterprise Rent-A-Car, which has five offices at various points north and south of the city.

  • What type of parking is available in Durham?

    In downtown Durham, you’ll find plenty of on-street parking plus several municipal garages and parking lots. Most on-street parking is metered and only requires payment between 8 am and 7 pm on weekdays. These spaces often have a two-hour time limit. The garages and lots offer hourly, daily, and overnight parking. All paid parking meters and kiosks accept coins, credit cards, and payments through the parking app. Outside of the downtown area, on-street parking is usually free, and most businesses have parking lots or other easily accessible parking options.

  • What are the requirements to rent a cargo van in Durham?

    For Durham cargo van rentals, you must have a valid driver’s license and be at least 21 years old. Drivers younger than 25 years old will be charged young-driver daily fees, and many individual car companies have policies against renting to drivers who are younger than 25 years of age. You should also check your insurance coverage before renting a cargo van to make sure that your policy covers damage to a rental vehicle. If your policy doesn’t cover this damage, it’s a good idea to purchase additional coverage through the car rental agency.

  • 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.

Drop off in Charlotte Airport was awful. Attendants openly hostile and refusing to answer questions. Durham attendant was great.

Pros:

Staff was friendly.

Cons:

Staff should have considered the delays I incurred in returning the car because of multiple protests in Virginia and NYC, as well as a curfew, all of which were out of my control.

They didn't have cars available. I was on a wait list but was never contacted either way after that.

Pros:

Nothing - I showed up to pick up the truck and none was available. Enterprise did not attempt to contact me to let me know there were no vehicles available and did nothing to remedy the situation. I had to cancel me plans and reschedule for the following weekend with Alamo. I will never rent from Enterprise again from your site or any other site.

Cons:

Live up to their obligations and communicate and not leave their customers hanging.

2.8 Poor

Cons:

The car was filthy and smelled of smoke even though it was a nine smoking car. The seats were super uncomfortable and there was a terrible squeak. The car needed to be retired as a rental.
