Top Tips for hiring a van in Gainesville

  • Renting a cargo van from Gainesville cargo van rentals can benefit you in many ways. Cargo vans offer more storage space and are easier and more convenient to drive than conventional trucks. Thanks to their size, you can easily drive through narrow streets and sections with low overhead clearance. Cargo vans are also much cheaper to rent than trucks and help you to save money, thanks to their improved fuel efficiency.
  • Multiple cargo van rental companies have locations in Gainesville, FL, including Budget, Alamo, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hertz, Dollar, Avis, National, Sunnycars, and Florida Van Rentals. You’ll find multiple cargo van rental offices at airport locations like Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV) or neighborhood locations like NW 39th Ave., 3920 NE Waldo Rd., Williston Rd., and Gainesville University Center. Look for a cargo van rental company with a more convenient pickup and drop-off location.
  • Driving a cargo van in Gainesville, FL, is generally easy because most city roads are well-marked and in a good state. Like most cities, you’ll likely experience rush hour traffic on weekdays and sometimes weekends. Morning rush hour in Gainesville, FL, starts from 7 am and lasts until 9 am, while evening rush hour begins around 4 pm and ends around 6 pm. The most congested roads in Gainesville include Archer Road, University Avenue, and SW 34th Street, especially in the sections around the Gainesville Regional Airport. Planning your trip in advance will help you find alternative routes with minimal traffic and avoid congestion.
  • To rent a car in Gainesville, you must meet several requirements from Gainesville cargo van rentals. This may vary from one provider to another. The general requirements include a valid driver’s license, an identification document, and a payment card in your name or the driver’s name. Foreigners must meet the same requirements but may be asked to produce an international driving license. The minimum age limit to rent a cargo van in Gainesville is 21. However, some providers have their minimum age requirement at 25. The other document most renters ask for is proof of insurance.

FAQs About Hiring a Van in Gainesville

  • What is the speed limit in Gainesville, FL?

    Cargo van renters in Gainesville, FL, should understand that the speed limit is 30 mph in residential zones and business districts and 70 mph on freeways and interstate highways. The speed limits change depending on the road, so you should always watch out for the posted speed limits on different roads. Always slow down when approaching highly populated neighborhoods and intersections.

  • What is the most reliable type of cargo van to rent in Gainesville, FL?

    Gainesville cargo van rentals have different models and sizes of cargo vans. The Ford Transit is the most reliable option for heavy-duty work and has better fuel efficiency. Other cargo vans that can handle heavy-duty tasks perfectly are the RAM ProMaster and Chevrolet Express. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is an excellent option if you’re looking for comfort and safety features. The cargo van size you choose will largely depend on your needs. A high-roof cargo van is an excellent option if you have more cargo or need a camper because of the additional space. You can go for midsize and compact vans if you have less cargo.

  • Where are the best places to park in Gainesville, FL?

    Downtown Gainesville has multiple parking garages and lots that can accommodate larger vehicles like cargo vans. Popular parking spots in the city include the long-term parking lot at 3880 NE 39th Ave and the North Parking Garage. The Alachua County Fairgrounds has a large parking lot open to the public at a fee. You may also consider parking at the University of Florida campus, which has several parking lots and garages open to the public at a fee.

  • 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 had asked for a GPS in the car and there was none. I was advised to use my cell phone and connect it to the on-board computer. But there was no connection between the phone and the car. So we had to change cars, which took an hour in total. Despite this, the time taken to return the car was not extended by an hour. So I'm the one who had to bear the brunt of the malfunction when it was the budget's fault. I find this totally abnormal.

I stood in line about a half hour waiting to get the car Saturday morning. . The ride was a bit rough (the Altima had 60k miles on it). But it served its purpose. The employees at pickup and drop off were nice. The girl at drop off in Daytona was particularly kind.
