A little preparation makes renting a van smooth and stress-free. Before you book in Chicago, here are the key things to think through — and the questions worth asking.

Know your group and purpose

Start with how many people and how much luggage you’re moving. That decides your van size — from a 7-passenger minivan to a 15-passenger van — and whether you want budget or luxury.

Match the van to the trip

For comfort and long drives, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter; for the best value, a Ford Transit. Picking the right one up front means everyone rides comfortably without overpaying.

Understand the costs

Ask what the rate includes — mileage, additional drivers, and any fees — so there are no surprises. With us, two additional drivers are included free (three drivers in total).

Check terms and insurance

Review the rental terms, insurance options, and any deposit before you book. A clear, honest company will walk you through all of it.

Book early

Vans go fast around holidays and peak weekends, so reserve ahead to lock in your dates and a better rate. And remember — you can drive our vans across the USA and into Canada.

Which van should you pick?

For comfort, the 15-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter; for value, the 15-passenger Ford Transit. Browse the full fleet and we’ll help you choose.
