Top Tips for Renting a Cargo Van in Cambridge

  • Cambridge Cargo Van Rentals offer numerous options when looking to have your delivery and transportation job completed. The van’s design provides access to the cargo trunk through the passenger seat, a characteristic that works well for businesspeople. Still, the van’s shape offers better visibility, with front-end clearance that guarantees easy maneuverability in various environments. You can conveniently use a cargo van to take a new student to their first year in college, move studio or dorm equipment to a new apartment, or transfer your wares to the market.
  • Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) serves Cambridge and nearby towns in Massachusetts. Upon landing, you will likely see long queues of renters clearing to take or return their Cambridge Cargo Van Rentals. Therefore, you can expect extended waiting times before being served, and this might be frustrating if you are hurrying to catch your flight. Consider reserving your vehicle online to avoid this slow process at the garage. You are also likely to get cheaper rates if you book early.
  • When driving Cambridge cargo van rentals, you will need sufficient clearance to compensate for their long, broad, and high roofs; this is critical when approaching obstacles, bridges, and underpasses. Also, the vans have a raised center of gravity and have a higher propensity to tipping than standard cars. To this end, exercise extra caution when entering or exiting the highway. Bear in mind that the vans cannot handle abrupt maneuvers. Therefore, driving within the stipulated speed limits and keeping a safe distance from the car in front of you might be helpful.
  • Cambridge experiences severe traffic, especially during rush hours. The morning traffic snarl-up is usually from 6 am to 10 am. On the other hand, the evening rush hour begins at 3 pm and fades at 7 pm. Therefore, it is recommended to map out affected routes before hitting the road. If possible, avoid the following streets: Alewife Brook Parkway and Leverett Circle, Boston, I-495 Marlborough; the I-290 between I-90, Auburn and Soldiers Field Road; the I-395 between the Connecticut State Line and the Massachusetts Turnpike, Auburn, and the Fresh Pond Parkway.

FAQs About Renting a Cargo Van in Cambridge

  • Where is the best car rental location in Cambridge to rent cargo vans?

    Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is ideal for hiring Cambridge cargo van rentals. Many famous brands operate their counters at this facility, including Avis, Payless, E-Z Rent-A-Car, Budget, Hertz, Thrifty, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Advantage, Dollar, and Alamo. BOS runs its car rental garage along 15 Transportation Way. Courtesy blue and white shuttles depart from the curbside on the lower level of each terminal to this rental facility. Furthermore, some agencies allow clients to drop off their cars at a different garage.

  • What is the most reliable cargo van brand to rent in Cambridge?

    Choosing the best make might be challenging with famous brands such as Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Chevrolet Express, and Peugeot Boxer all available. Nevertheless, various expert reviews and user feedback rank some cargo van brands above others regarding reliability. For example, the Ford Transit features a 10-speed automatic transmission and a spacious trunk to accommodate different tools and equipment. Conversely, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter boasts heavy-duty capabilities and comes in various formats, including standard, high-roof, and multiple rear-step options.

  • Where are the best places to park cargo vans in Cambridge?

    Visitors will need patience when looking for an ideal parking spot in Cambridge, but things become easier once they know their way around. Street parking is common in the city and is metered hourly. Parking operations run from 8 am to 8 pm. Furthermore, garages are the best option to park your van overnight, although you will have to pay $20-30 per night. If you are on a budget, staying at a hotel that offers complimentary parking is recommended.

KAYAK

Cons:

I had a special car and got charged extra when I asked for an SUV.

5.6 Fair

Sep. 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

I was prompted to purchase insurance through your platform, which I did through Allianz for an added fee. However, I was then alerted by the rental facility where I rented the car that this insurance does not function the same way as their insurance and that, if I got in an accident, I would have to contact Allianz and file a separate claim, which would make the process much more difficult and time-consuming. Essentially, I purchased an add on through your platform that did nothing. I would like a full refund for my insurance.

Oct. 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Pickup was relatively easy, although they forgot to give me an exit ticket to leave the garage.

Cons:

The car had a cigarette smell in it. I also had a random $35 "Miscellaneous Fees" charge which I couldn't get dropped.

Oct. 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff was helpful and friendly. The pickup experience was easy.

Cons:

It wasn't possible to adjust driver sit horizontal position - the control for that was just absent and sit was locked. Luckily it was locked in a position that suit me well. The drop-off was a bit confusing - all places were occupied and sign was directing to 7th floor, but there were no designated parking places on the 7th floor, so I was confused whether I should just leave the care wherever, or maybe I missed designated places.

Cons:

I was given a car that had the left rear tire pressure very low: 25. The other three were at their correct pressure of 40. Before releasing a car to a customer, the avis should have taken the corrective measures so as not to give me a car with the warning light on in the display.

They told us we could pick up car and deliver it to site in cambridge. No one was there for pick up or drop off. Since we had to get the car we had to get on metro and go into Boston and wasted a good three hours running around trying to find place. Would absolutely not recommend them to Anyone

it was very straightforward to take public transit to this Thrifty location from Logan, for no charge and it took perhaps a half-hour which I thought fast. My car performed well and was both new and clean on the inside.

Cons:

They don't have any information. Their policies are waste. Their toll charges are compulsory if you don't take it they put fine on you. Thier insurance charges are ao high. Just having car charges low as compared to other companies doesn't matter overall thrifty is super expensive including all insurance toll and other services. They don't have decent cars too.

Oct. 2016

KAYAK

Cons:

I had booked my car rental 4 months in advance to ensure I would get the car I wanted for a road trip through New England. However, when I got to Thrifty they said they could not find the keys for the car I had requested. I had wanted a small car to save on gas mileage and the elevation I would be driving on. Instead they gave me a mid size car that went through a lot of gas. Also, the car reeked of cigarette smoke. The smell was so strong we had to invest in air freshners which did very little for the smell. I had tried spraying perfume as well which was only a momentary fix. We kept the windows down for most of the drive. When we would turn on the AC, a very sour smell would come through the vents. Also, we had been told rolls would be covered; however, before leaving we told the car had not been registered to EZ Pass so we would be responsible for all tolls, which added up. Long story short, do not rent from this company.
