Aurora makes an easy, fun day trip from Chicago, and a 12-passenger van keeps the whole group together for it. Here’s how to plan a smooth day out.

Why a 12-passenger van

It’s the sweet spot for a group day trip — room for everyone and any gear, easy to drive, and simple to park, all in one vehicle instead of a caravan of cars.

Plan your itinerary

Map out your stops in and around Aurora — dining, shopping, riverfront, and attractions — and build in time to enjoy each one. A little planning keeps the day relaxed.

Reserve early

Book your van ahead, especially for weekends, to lock in availability and a better rate. Our vans are cleaned and inspected before every rental.

Enjoy the day together

With one van, the whole group travels together on your own schedule — and if you want to go farther another day, you can drive our vans across the USA and into Canada.

Which van should you pick?

For a group day trip, the 12-passenger Ford Transit (value) or a 15-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (comfort). Browse the full fleet.

Reserve Your Van for the Journey Ahead

Reserve online at any hour. Our reservation team is available by phone 7 days a week, 8 AM to 5 PM.
