Top Tips for hiring a van in Santa Ana

  • Santa Ana cargo van rentals have come in handy for making business deliveries and moving personal items or heavy equipment. You can now acquire cargo van rentals at an affordable rate from several rental providers located all over the city. Book your cargo van rental from the comfort of your home via the Kayak website.
  • You will fly into John Wayne Airport (SNA) when traveling to Santa Ana. You can have your transport needs met at the airport, with more than 10 agencies providing rental services on-site. These include international rental providers like Dollar, Avis, Budget, and Hertz. These agencies are near the baggage claim area of the main terminal. You can pick up your cargo van rental outside the baggage claim.
  • Santa Ana ranks among the top most populated cities in California. Its location in the greater Los Angeles region makes its road prone to congestion, especially during commute hours. Rush hour typically starts at 7:0 am to 9 am and then again from 3 pm to 7 pm The section of the Santa Ana Freeway that meets Interstate 605 is one of the key bottlenecks during rush hours. The roads leading to downtown are also prone to congestion, with North Main Street as the major bottleneck. We advise cargo van rentals drivers to avoid heading in or out of downtown during these times.
  • Major thoroughfares run across Santa Ana and link it to other cities. Interstate 5 allows travel into Los Angeles, San Diego, Stockton, Oregon, and Sacramento. State Route 55 allows travel to Costa Mesa in the south. State Route 22 cross the north of the city and heads to Long Beach. If you plan to operate Santa Ana cargo van rentals outside the city, bear in mind that there are Orange County toll roads. These include State Routes 73, 241, 261, and 133. FasTrak is the recommended payment option for toll roads running across Orange County.

FAQs About Hiring a Van in Santa Ana

  • What are the best locations to rent cargo vans in Santa Ana?

    Most travelers to Santa Ana acquire cargo van rentals at the airport (SNA). This makes airport rental locations prone to long queues. Some agencies like Enterprise, Budget, and Avis provide rental services downtown to help escape these long lines. You can board free shuttle transfers from the airport to their downtown locations if you arrive at the airport. Moreover, if you have booked a stay at popular hotels such as Marriott Suites Hotel or CW Suites Hotel, some agencies like Budget have on-site offices where you can get rental services.

  • What is the cross-border policy for Santa Ana cargo van rentals?

    Renters in Santa Ana are free to drive cargo vans all around the city. They can also freely travel within Orange County without restrictions. You can cross Californian state borders and travel anywhere within the United States borders. Most agencies permit travel into Canada without restrictions, with agencies like Avis providing Canadian non-resident insurance before you leave their premises with your cargo van rental. However, most agencies forbid travel into Mexico except for cargo vans rented by corporate account customers. These customers must purchase additional insurance for the cargo van while in Mexico.

  • Where can I park cargo van rentals in Santa Ana?

    Finding suitable parking in Santa Ana should be smooth, as there are an array of parking options throughout the city. Free parking is also available in the evenings and weekends. The popular public parking garages you should consider, suitable for cargo vans in town, include Garages B, C, and D. These garages are located along East 5th Street, Birch Street, and North Main Street, respectively. The rate of parking is about $1.50 per hour.

  • 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’m not sure where the problem resides, but our reservation on KAYAK was not clear and accurate. We called Hertz to inquire about possibly picking a car up earlier. They informed us that the car that we had rented was a managers, special and that deal was an electric car. We did not realize that we would have to drive an electric car 400 miles to return it at another location. We had to get another car and that raised our rental by $50 not including tax.

Overall it was well done. Limited vehicle choice but I was at a smaller office location. Also customer service said we could get a 4x4 but the office staff were more up front and honest about that. So I’m glad I called ahead.

Pros:

Staff was friendly & nice

Cons:

We had reserved a mini van only to be told it was not available an hour before. We then accepted the alternative since we were pressed for time. Everything seemed ok until we loaded all our luggage, kids & grandma buckled up ...within minutes there were trails of ants all over!! Totally disgusting...this has never happened before. I called to complain but was told by the agent that this happens when cars are parked in grassy areas. When I first got in the car , I noticed some crumbs & just brushed it off. Looking back there is absolutely no excuse for this neglect in properly & throughly cleaning a car . This was unacceptable & we then drove to another location to swap the car for the minivan I reserved in the first place 😫 This whole ordeal set us back over an hour & in turn we missed our evening reservation. This caused so much inconvenience. That I will definitely think twice about renting from this company again :(

The whole experience was horrible. I went to the rental counter after arriving, waited 30 mins in a queue of only a few people, only to be told my card couldn’t be accepted (Apple MC), nor could my debit (BoA). I made the reservation with this same card even. I was then told he could get me a good deal with another company offsite (Stop then Go). Same thing occurred to the people in line behind me. We wait for a shuttle to the offsite company and I did get a car. But at this point, I am hour behind schedule, and now no longer in the electric car I’d chosen with Dollar, and in a very basic gas Hyundai. And the Dollar rep said I’d have to contact Dollar myself to cancel the reservation I’d already paid for. So that was another chunk of my time spent dealing with it all, and now I have to wait like 10 days for the investigation into why I asked to cancel, before I get my money back for the car I was never given. An absolute nasty process overall, with no consideration for the customers time whatsoever.

Staff at the desk looks sad no smile, I booked for child seat when I asked where is the child seat the person at the airport location (parking) told me to get it from their storage instead of assisting me. Storage was dark and child seat on top of each other I needed to dig for it. The car interior was clean but the outside especially the wind shield is dirty. I got upgraded because the type of vehicle I book is not available for same rate is something positive.

Budget did not provide me with a convertible as booked and paid over $160 per day and after making me wait for one hour gave me a SUV. They could not predict any wait time, this seems like a scam. The SUV had 3/4 gas when given and I was charged $55 for not filling uopp to full since I topped off to 3/4. Luckily the attendant waived off $50 but I still ended up paying $5 gas fine when I returned the SUV as got at 3/4 gas tank. Overall a scam to wait one hour, not get my convertible and get charged for it and extra.

Bad. At car pickup, had to follow up with girl 2x before we got our car. Seems like car was actually ready when we asked the second time, not sure why she didn’t tell us and made us wait. At car drop off in lax, didn’t know location changed. GPS sent us to wrong location. Guy at check in should’ve given us heads up since he knew we were dropping off at lax. And at lax, old signs still point to old location
