Top Tips for Renting a Cargo Van in Albany

  • Albany cargo van rentals are a reliable and convenient way for you to move furniture, office equipment, or heavy appliances on your own schedule and budget. Albany cargo van rentals are especially popular for those moving here to attend university, as there are several schools in the area that attract a large number of students.
  • If you are flying into Albany, you can pick up your Albany cargo van rentals from Albany International Airport (ALB). Once you land, make your way to the baggage claim area, where you’ll find desks for several car rental agencies. Once you check in for your rental, you will find your vehicle in the airport parking lot directly outside.
  • Albany is located in eastern New York, not far from the borders of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. This area can experience severe winter weather along with a lot of snow and ice. If you are renting Albany cargo van rentals during winter, try not to drive them in heavy snow and keep an eye out for black ice. Since loaded (and unloaded) cargo vans are heavier than regular vehicles, the braking distance and maneuverability will be affected so be sure to drive attentively and carefully in these conditions.
  • Albany, the capital of New York, experiences rush hours that make it difficult to drive cargo vans around the city. If you can, try to avoid Highway 20, Highway 5, I-287, and I-90 between the hours of 6 and 9 am and 4 and 7 pm. Otherwise, you might get caught in heavy traffic.

FAQs About Renting a Cargo Van in Albany

  • Where can I park my Albany cargo van rentals?

    Parking cargo van rentals in Albany is no problem. You will find plenty of public lots and garages downtown that have space for oversized vehicles. Just be sure to keep an eye on any size or height restrictions posted at the entrances of these establishments. You may also use the parking lots at supermarkets or in industrial areas. If you are staying at a hotel in Albany during your rental period, the hotel may offer free parking to guests that you can take advantage of.

  • What is the best neighborhood to rent cargo vans in Albany?

    Albany’s downtown area is the best place to find cargo van rentals in town. This is because of the higher concentration of car rental agencies, allowing you to choose your pickup point and find a cargo van rental in Albany that fits both your needs and your budget. The downtown area is also well-connected to major thoroughfares connecting you to the rest of Albany as well as the surrounding cities for easy and fast navigation. If you do not want to pick up your cargo van rental downtown, you can also pick it up at the airport, but be aware that the airport car rental branches may be more crowded, so it’s always a good idea to book your rental cargo van in advance to expedite the process.

  • Can I drive to other states, regions, or countries with my Albany cargo van rental?

    Yes, most car rental agencies in Albany will allow you to drive your cargo van rental to other states and regions. However, if you plan to book a one-way rental, meaning you will drop the car off at a different branch from the one where you picked it up, you need to specify this at the time of booking as it can incur extra fees and insurance. Some providers may also allow you to drive into Canada with your Albany cargo van rental, but always check in advance as this will require extra paperwork and may have a few restrictions.

  • How does KAYAK find such low cargo van rental prices?

    KAYAK compares cargo van rental prices from all major car rental companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.

Rental itself was fine. I had an issue at the end of my trip—my flights home were changed, and I had to modify my plans and drop off the car at a different airport (Philadelphia instead of Newark). The agent was able to modify my itinerary, but I was charged a large additional amount to do this VERY disappointed, prob will avoid Alamo in the future.

Pros:

Staff remained professional and friendly in poor working conditions

Cons:

Leave the pick up inside the airport and have someone deliver the cars to the door or have a golf cart to take the customer out to the car, it is very difficult dragging all your luggage out to a garage not knowing where your going. A handicapped person (me) will not do it again because I have bad legs and was so sore and tired when I finally got in the car I should not have been driving especially a car I’m not used to. And no there was nobody around to offer help just a sign saying go outside where our staff is working in a dark dingy shack !

I picked up my rental very late at night and was handed keys and told to bring it back charged. I didn’t realize it was fully electric. Unfortunately that made for a terrible experience.

They rented all their cars to others due to a diverted flight. They ignored all the reservations people had made, including mine. I only got a car last minute, after waiting in line for over 30 mins, when a lady decided not to drive a huge Suburban, so I took that.

Easy pick up and drop off. Reservation was for a minivan but we got a Denali. Would’ve preferred a minivan because the trunk in the Denali was very small and a minivan trunk is great. Biggest problem was that the car absolutely reeked of marijuana. We thought it was the garage and drove away incorrectly assuming that. Tried to contact customer service when we realized it was the car, but it was late at night and they didn’t open until the next morning. They did offer a car exchange but we were an hour away at a family wedding and didn’t have the flexibility in our schedule to make the trip back to the airport.

When I checked in at the counter, the rep had me sign papers saying the car had a full tank. Once I arrived at the car, I noticed the car was only had a 1/4 tank of gas and the mileage did not match. I was in an extreme hurry to make an appointment and I did not have time to wait in line at the counter again because there were about 20 people in line. I have pictures of the gas tank and mileage to share if I can send to someone via email. I would just like to be refunded $35 to pay for that extra gas I had to buy because I returned it on a full tank. Again, I signed the original paperwork saying I would return in on a full tank because I was told the car was on a full tank. The fact the license plate matched the paperwork but the mileage was not correct tells me someone just made a honest mistake. Can I get a refund for $35?

Pricey but the best price available. The Dodge Hornet Hybrid was (surprisingly) an excellent vehicle. The entire experience was great.

--Staff at counter was unable to be reached by phone. Drove 3 1/2 hours each way (NYC --> Albany) to drop off old rental and pick up a new one, then was told at counter that I needn't have made the drive in the first place and I could've just kept the original rental. --Car smelled of cigarettes. Was told to just write down the issue on my rental agreement. --Staff at counter was unable to be reached by phone a second time (and I called over 20 times). This became an issue when I had to extend my new rental. --Toll-free customer service was completely useless when I contacted them to voice my concerns. --In a word, Avis = terrible. I've been an Enterprise customer for 12 years, and I'm kicking myself for using Avis this time.
