Rental car prices as pick-up date approaches

Berkeley cargo van rentals offer numerous options, whether in winter or summer, to get the job done. Their versatility makes it easy to maneuver around the city while doing transportation or delivery. It is thus not surprising that cargo vans are popular among businesspeople, including painters, electricians, building contractors, movers, carpet installers, and dry cleaners. Also, cargo vans are handy for moving handmade crafts and other wares to a stall at the neighboring market or relocating dorm and studio equipment to a new residence.
Both Oakland International Airport (OAK) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) offer convenient gateways into Berkeley. Suppose you want to pick up your van immediately after landing; you will find other renters clearing to either take or drop off their cars. This results in long queues, and thus extended waiting time. To this end, book your van online in advance to avoid going through the slow processes at the rental counters and garages. It might also be helpful to confirm whether your preferred car rental agency allows you to return the vehicle at its other non-airport locations.
You will need a few skills and caution before driving Berkeley cargo van rentals. Due to their taller bodies, vans have a raised center of gravity and are more likely to tip over than regular cars. Therefore, drive within the stipulated limits, and be cautious when navigating a corner or entering and exiting a highway. Their longer, broader, and higher roofs require more clearance when approaching bridges, underpasses, and ceilings. When fully loaded, they are considerably heavy and accelerate slowly. You will thus need more distance when pulling out in traffic.
Most suburbs in California experience daily bouts of rush hour, and Berkeley is no exception. Usually, the jams occur in the mornings from 7 am to 9 am and in the evenings from 3 pm to 7 pm The evening traffic can be particularly severe as most people leave the city center for their homes, and you may find it best to have your timing right. I-80 at the Bay Bridge is one heavily affected spot that you should consider skirting around to avoid such a jam.

One extra hour of rental costed half of the full day rate. It might be common but it’s still outrageous.

I was not provided with the car category I was promised when booking online. I booked Toyota RAV4 and similar type, but I was given Nissan Kicks when I went to pick up the car. To add to the injury, the agent insulted my intelligence by claiming that the two cars are of same category. I am on vacation and didn’t want to challenge his claim and start an argument and ruin my vacation. I guess that might be exactly the reason why the rental company don’t care about fulfilling its own commitments. I am taking this up with the company and will update here whether I receive a credit back the differences in rental price.

Service desk was very rude. Both during pic up and drop off. Rather than stating policies plainly, they lied to my face and gave me attitude when I pushed back.

Well, first of all the fees I didn't know was Is going to happen. The car that I was gonna get wasn't charged yet.They wanted me to charge it before even took off. It was supposed to be 58$ and I knew that I was gonna have to get insurance but it was like 3 different types and roadside was seperate also. Soi was chargeed 30 to reserve it 96 for the rental and $100 extra . And the $300 deposit I didn't know about I had to go put cash in my bank when I came back they closed for the day. I wasn't able to get the car. So I missed the wedding.I was supposed to go to and that really sucked.

Very long process to get the car, unnecessarily so. Had to talk to two people to leave with the car that I had reserved. I waited over 30 minutes in the lobby amongst other renters. Strange
