Top Tips for hiring a van in Fairfax

  • Fairfax cargo van rentals come with the versatility to accomplish delivery and transportation tasks at any time, regardless of the season. Vans amplify time-consuming and daunting tasks such as transferring equipment from one location to another. This capability makes them favorites among contractors who need to move their tools and equipment to their operational sites, including painters, carpet installers, dry cleaners, and electricians. Also, vans are ideal for carrying your wares to your stand at the nearby open-air market or relocating your studio equipment.
  • Booking Fairfax cargo van rentals at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is an excellent choice for convenience and easy accessibility to the city center. However, expect to find extended queues and long waiting hours at the rental counters and garages—many renters clearing to take or drop off their vehicles. To this end, reserving a cargo van online in advance is a great way to save yourself the agony of a last-minute rush at the garage. Also, it might be best to check with your preferred car rental agency if they permit returning the vehicle to an off-airport location.
  • Fairfax cargo van rentals are wider, longer, have higher roofs than regular vehicles, and require special skills before hitting the road. For instance, you will need more clearance when driving through underpasses and bridges or navigating obstacles. When fully loaded, a cargo van accelerates slowly, hence the need for more distance when pulling out in traffic. Also, the vans have a raised center of gravity and have higher chances of tipping than regular cars. As such, drivers should exercise caution and remain steady, particularly when navigating a corner or entering a highway.
  • Virginia’s northern part close to Washington, including Fairfax, is prone to severe road congestion. The morning snarl-up usually starts around 6:30 am and may continue until 10 am On the other hand, the evening traffic can begin at about 6 pm and fades at 9 pm Roads to avoid during rush hour include SR 286, 236, and 127, as they are the busiest roads in the city. Nevertheless, you can drive outside peak hours to reach the area’s hidden gems faster. If you visit in winter, consider getting winter tires to navigate slippery surfaces. Remember that winters also cause poor visibility, requiring you to drive cautiously.

Pros:

The staff was very friendly, professional, and helpful. The inside of the car was very clean. it was very thoughtful to see a note that special care was given to COVID19 cleanliness.

Cons:

I do like a clean car on the outside. The car was not washed on the outside. However, we did have a few wet days prior to me renting the car.

Pros:

The drop off was not easy at all. Was able to pick a time slot to drop off the car at 6pm not knowing the location actually closed at 4pm. Staff did not tell us the procedures for the after hours drop off. My husband went all the way there, then had to come back and we had to call the Enterprise help line to have them tell us how to drop off the car after hours.

Cons:

Communication with staff about drop off procedures especially after hours.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating but the car they had for me was way too small and definitely not in the class I rented. Hertz needs to reassess the classification given to cars that have recently gone through “updates.” A 2020 Ford Escape is NOT the same as a 2015 Ford Escape.

Hertz called me 9 hours before I was supposed to pick up my car to tell me they had overbooked by 200 cars and were unable to honor my reservation. There was no attempt by Hertz to resolve the huge problem they had just created for me, I was on my own. Fortunately, their competitor Avis took a same day reservation and provided me with a car that afternoon.
