Cross-Country Road Trips: Renting a Van to Travel the USA and Canada
- Rental Vehicles
Our vans aren’t just for getting around Chicago — because we’re Illinois-based, you can rent one and drive it anywhere across the USA and into Canada. If you’re dreaming of a cross-country road trip with your group, here’s why a rental van is the way to do it.
A road trip is better when the whole group travels together — the conversations, the stops, the shared adventure. One van keeps everyone in one place, and splitting the rental and fuel across the group makes a big trip surprisingly affordable.
You don’t need a special license to drive our vans for personal use, even a 15-passenger — a regular driver’s license is enough. And two additional drivers are included free (three drivers in total), so you can share the wheel on those long highway stretches.
Here’s a real differentiator: many big rental chains (Enterprise, Budget) restrict or don’t allow their vehicles into Canada. We do. Take our vans across the border to Toronto, Niagara, or the Canadian Rockies with no last-minute surprises.
Chicago groups take our vans all over the map — Florida (Tampa and Miami) for summer and spring break, New York and the East Coast, California and the West, and the great national parks like Yellowstone and Montana or the red-rock country of Arizona. Family reunions, sports tournaments, and bucket-list road trips all start here.
For long-distance travel, comfort matters. Our Mercedes-Benz Sprinters add a smooth, quiet ride and advanced safety features like Crosswind Assist for open-highway driving, while the Ford Transit keeps a cross-country trip budget-friendly.
For a comfortable cross-country trip, the 15-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter; for the budget-friendly option, the 15-passenger Ford Transit. Browse the full fleet.
