Top Tips for hiring a van in Monterey

  • Renting a cargo van is a wise move if you need to move items, make a delivery, or transport your family and the gear you will need to an outdoor escapade. With a cargo van, you’ll enjoy adequate space to load your baggage. You’ll also enjoy a better driving experience than other moving truck drivers. This is because Monterey cargo van rentals feature narrower dimensions and more relatable controls compared to other moving trucks.
  • Upon landing at Monterey Regional Airport (MRY), you can easily rent a cargo van. This air transit hub is home to counters for Hertz, Enterprise, and Avis, car rental agencies with a wide range of Monterey cargo van rentals. The counters are a short walk from the arrivals hall. Hence, you won’t need any ground transportation to get to them. Since the Monterey cargo van rentals offered by the agencies at this airport are usually in high demand, it’s in your best interest to book your cargo van in advance. You must be at least 21 years old to rent a cargo van in Monterey. Document-wise, you must have a valid driver’s license, two photo IDs or a passport, and a credit card.
  • The driver’s license you present must be the one you’ve been using for the past 12 months. It must also be written in English, but if it’s in another language, you must have an International Driver’s Permit (IDP). In the USA, foreign visitors aren’t provided with IDPs. Hence, if you require one, get it before jetting into the country. Note that if you’re above 21 but below 25, you’ll pay more than older drivers since the agencies that provide Monterey cargo van rentals apply an underage surcharge on young drivers.
  • Suppose you intend to ride with a young child in your rented cargo van. If so, note that according to the law in Monterey, children riding in vehicles must be seated in an appropriate car seat or booster seat until they are over the age of eight or exceed a height of 4 feet 9 inches. You must ensure that your child sits in a rear-facing car seat if he or she is under two years of age; a forward-facing seat if he or she weighs more than 40 lbs, is taller than 40 inches, but is still below 65 lbs; and a booster seat if he or she is above 65 lbs but below six years old. Apart from offering reliable Monterey cargo van rentals, local car rental agencies provide child safety seats upon request. Hence, if you lack one, you can have it installed before assuming control of the vehicle.

FAQs About Hiring a Van in Monterey

  • Are there difficult times to drive in Monterey?

    Traffic is usually light in Monterey. However, between 7 am and 9 am and 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, the roads experience traffic snarl-ups. The streets most affected are the ones leading to and from the city center. If you have to drive during these times, install a GPS to assist you in finding the least congested routes.

  • Can I drive my cargo van across California borders?

    Some providers of Monterey cargo van rentals allow their clients to use their rentals for cross-border travel. Others are not so open to the idea. This being the case, whether you can drive your Monterey cargo van rental past state borders will depend on the agency you hire. Note that if your agency allows you to drive to another region, you’ll incur additional costs.

  • What are the popular cargo van rentals in Monterey?

    The most popular Monterey cargo van rentals are the Nissan NV200, suitable for light cargo; the Chevy Express E35C, perfect for heavy-duty cargo; and the Ford Transit 350 Hi Roof Cargo, also suitable for heavy-duty cargo. Besides offering massive cargo space, they have reliable engines, comfy interiors, and relatable controls.

  • 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.

Car was damaged at pickup. Tried to report to agent at counter but they disappeared to wash a car. Tried calling customer service number on receipt but they said they could only manage reservations. Tried emailing customer service with images of the damage and never heard back.

When I got into the vehicle, the windshield and every window of the car were covered with water on the inside. The windows were all closed, so it seems like someone may have cleaned off the entire inside and not dried any of it. I had to wipe everything down with some spare clothes, then blast the heat until the windshield finished drying off. It took ages and I ended up with some wet clothes. Was completely unacceptable.

Pros:

The staff was great, the service was excellent - easy pick up and drop-off (and the woman staffing the desk remembered me three days later!). I found the entire experience to be easy and understandable (where to go, what to do, etc.) from beginning to end.

Cons:

The car wasn't all that great. It was safe, it was functional, and it was most definitely clean. However, I would have preferred something a little more comfortable and modern, even at my small-car/low-level need.

I made the reservation through Kayak, they called me 1 hour before the pick up time and told me they don’t have the car. The person I talked to was very rude, refused to let me talk to his manager, refused to tell me his full name, and at the end told me his is not going to do anything for me.
