Top Tips for hiring a van in South Lake Tahoe

  • Driving South Lake Tahoe cargo van rentals during rush hours can cause delays and inconveniences. Road congestion mostly occurs between 7:30 am and 9 pm and 3 pm and 7 pm The streets most affected by traffic are the intersection of Highway 89 and 50. You can avoid traffic by using alternative routes in the backstreet of the city. However, if the route lacks an alternative route, begin your journey earlier to escape traffic.
  • Most South Lake Tahoe cargo van rental agencies, including Budget, Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, require renters and additional drivers to be at least 21 years or older. However, some agencies rent cargo vans to renters below the minimum age but at an additional fee. Also, you must have a valid driver's license operational for at least one year. In addition, you must have a credit or debit card bearing your name.
  • During winter, most roads in South Lake Tahoe become icy and snowy. Therefore, driving on most streets can be difficult to navigate when driving a cargo van rental. You should be careful when driving on the 110-mile route because it’s steep and has winding roads, which can be tricky to maneuver during the snowy weather. If you have to drive a cargo van during winter, make space, slow down, check the road condition before driving, and stay on the main roads.
  • If you need South Lake Tahoe cargo van rentals at Sacramento International Airport (SMF), you can choose one from the wide collection at the airport terminal. Most cargo van rentals, including Hertz, Budget, and Avis, have several cargo van types. You can rent a cargo van at the agency of your choice on the same day you need to move items. However, this can be inconvenient because of long queues and the high demand for certain cargo van types. Therefore, book one in advance to enjoy a stress-free pickup.

Pros:

When I got to the South Lake Tahoe rental location they had a small car for me. Monday morning and lots of cars to go out. I asked for different, larger car and they were very happy to find me and my wife another vehicle. It was cleaned and ready to go in a matter of 15 minutes and we were very happy.

Cons:

They did great and we recommend Enterprise to all our friends.
