Why Renting a Van is the Best Option for a Road-Trip

October 18, 2018 9:16 pm Filed to: cars by Jerry

Going on a road-trip or looking for a vehicle to run around in at your travel destination? Consider renting a van this time around.

You get to drive the latest model

People often go for private cars when they rent a vehicle for a road-trip or to run around in at their travel destination, which to be fair also has them driving the latest models, but with something like a van which is more scarcely rented out you will probably get it very close to being brand new as well.

All the space you’ll ever need and more

If the van you want to rent carries a maximum of nine passengers for example, this doesn’t mean you need to have eight of your friends with you in order to go for that as an option. Basically what a van means is that you get all the space you need and even more if the need for more ever arises. Stopping along the famous spots along a road-trip terrace is an activity which is known to induce a bit of shopping, whether you’re buying souvenirs or indeed if the goods available take your fancy because of their unavailability where you live or because of their unbelievable price.

This is how it has become somewhat of a standard occurrence for you to come back from your travels with so much more luggage than you departed with, in which case you wouldn’t struggle for extra space in a van.

Right of way

There’s something a bit “official-looking” about vehicles which have the capacity to transport more passengers than the average car, and if you’re touring around in a known holiday destinations you’ll be surprised to find just how many more places you can gain access to. You get a sort of right of way because of the impression that a group of people travelling together gives.

Being able to share the driving responsibility

Well, I guess it depends how you look at it with this one, because for some people driving is a responsibility they’ll gladly take into their own hands, given half the chance. But yeah, hiring a passenger van for your trip is indeed a great idea because of the implied greater number of people coming along amongst whom the driving responsibility can be shared. This is particularly great for longer distances, or indeed even if the vehicle was rented to get around in at your travel destination.

Huge savings on costs

Vehicles that are bigger and have the capacity to carry more passengers often run on a cheaper grade of fuel, but the running cost-savings implications go beyond that. Normally the bigger vehicles for rent aren’t necessarily charged at rates which are proportionate to the amount of passengers they can carry. So if for example you roll in a 9 passenger van rental then the cost to rent that van can be split between up to the nine passengers who are going to be getting around in it. It won’t cost that much more than a regular private vehicle which fits a maximum of four passengers, for example, which accounts for a huge saving in costs.
