Top Tips for hiring a van in Helena

  • Whether you are carrying business or personal items, nothing offers better delivery and transportation services in Montana than Helena cargo van rentals. Versatile and with high maneuverability, they are handy in amplifying tedious and time-consuming chores like moving your handmade wares from your home store to a stand at the nearby market. Also, cargo vans are convenient for relocating dorm or studio equipment to a new apartment or taking new students to their first year in college. It is thus unsurprising that they are the vehicles of choice for contractors.
  • If you arrive in Helena via air, you will likely land at Bozeman Gallatin Field Airport (BZN) or Great Falls Airport (GTF). At both facilities, numerous renters are signing their paperwork to either pick up or drop off their Helena cargo van rentals. To this end, expect long queues and extended waiting times before you are served. Suppose you are in a hurry to catch the next connecting flight. In that case, it might be inconvenient, and you risk missing your flight. Therefore, endeavor to book your van online in advance to avoid going through the slow process at the garage. Also, an early reservation is a surer way of getting a discounted rate.
  • Due to their large, broad size, and high roofs, you will need a few skills before sitting behind the wheel of Helena cargo van rentals. First is sufficient clearance when navigating obstacles, bridges, and underpasses. Secondly, remember that these vehicles have raised centers of gravity and a higher propensity for tipping than standard cars. Exercise extra caution when entering or exiting a highway or navigating a steep gradient. Thirdly, these vehicles cannot handle sudden braking and abrupt maneuverability. Therefore, keep a safe distance from the car in front of you.
  • Helena experiences road congestion in the mornings and evenings. The traffic snarl-up starts at about 7 am as residents drive to work, fading at around 9 am On the other hand, the evening rush hour begins at around 4:30 pm up to 5:30 pm, when residents rush to return to their homes. You are thus advised to plan your ventures outside peak hours when the roads are mostly empty. Specifically, avoid the W. Custer Avenue-N. Montana Avenue cross street due to severe congestion. If you are here in winter, fix your vehicle with winter tires to safely drive on wet surfaces.

Vehicle was great. It seems like there is not good communication between the local Hertz office and Kayak when it comes to charges and insurance offerings. I also have an injury and was forced to walk a good distance to pickup the car and drop it off. It seems like with three guys standing around one of them could bring the car up to the temporary parking area or have it ready.

Pros:

The car was clean & ready - but one tire was seriously low on air. The Hertz employee went above and beyond and had it repaired in short order by a local tire shop. Drop off was a breeze.

Cons:

An excellent experience with great caring staff. What more could I ask for? All rental car agencies charge a significant premium for full size SUV's - so it was quite pricey.

I reserved an SUV and the Helena branch "upgraded" me to a small car and told me I had to pay extra for the SUV. The owner/manager of the place was argumentative, about the reservation and the pricing. The insurance I selected when reserving the car ended up being with a third party, which was not made clear. The wiper fluid was low so that kept flashing on the dash of the car. The paperwork/numbers in the system for the car were wrong so it showed I turned the car in to Billings with about 9000 fewer miles that it has on the car. The car functioned but nothing else about the experience would make me rebook this or recommend it to others.

The car was fine, although it had obviously been smoked in and the smell poorly covered up. The counter people were great for the most part. Trying to deal with the website and the phone system that won't allow calls to anything but a call center staffed by people whose first language isn't english was a nightmare. Won't be renting from Budget ever again.

Friendly staff at the rental car counter inside the airport.

wished the car I ordered (Toyota RAV4) would have been available. Instead I got a Chevy Equinox that was just okay but did not meet my expectations.

Turned in my car and accidentally left my $300 sunglasses on the console. Walked down the stairs and realized I left them in the car so turned around and walked back up the stairs to the return staging area. Upon which the car had already been taken "off the lot" the attendant said and it is not possible to get my sunglasses back. She told me that I had to file a report with the desk inside the airport in order to get them back. Went inside the airport and then waited for 15 minutes in line to talk to an attendant about my lost sunglasses. He then told me to fill out a form and that I would get a call when they found them and that they would have to ship them to me at my expense. And is expected it's been four days and I have not received a call and have tried to call Avis about my sunglasses with zero success. Basically, the attendant or whoever cleans the cars after rentals, stole my sunglasses and Avis will not take accountability. Custom service at its finest!!!

Pros:

Cahill and Silas found me a good rate and cleaned the car before giving it to me. My Ford Explorer had Sirius/XM, which was fun as I drove across the country.

Cons:

On a car with fewer than 2,000 miles, I was astonished to get a flat tire. Even worse, it turned out that my rental had no spare tire! No full-size, no "doughnut" size either! Roadside assistance was courteous, but it was estimated to be 4-5 hours before a new vehicle could be delivered. Instead, I drove to a nearby Sears Tire store. Still, the flat delayed my trip by 3.5 hours.
