Top Tips for Renting a Van in San Jose
- If you’re heading over to San Jose with your family, getting a van rental would be perfect for your trip as you would be able to travel comfortably while having enough space for all your luggage. San Jose van rentals all have enough head space and legroom to ensure you have a pleasant trip in and around the city, even when traveling with a large family and children. Additionally, there is enough room both in and on top of the car on the roof rack to store all your luggage and make sure your experience is top-notch.
- When flying into San Jose, you are likely going to arrive at the San Jose International Airport where you can conveniently choose from any of the San Jose van rentals available at the airport’s rental car center. The rental car center at the airport is stated across Terminal B and is accessible from Terminal B by walking, while those in Terminal A may use the blue shuttle buses to get to the rental car center. There are a number of car rental companies at the airport where you may pick up your San Jose van rental including Dollar, Budget, Avis, and Alamo.
- When driving San Jose van rentals in the city, it is important to remember to adjust your driving style as driving a van is different from driving smaller passenger vehicles. As much as you would like to carry a lot of luggage, try to keep your vehicle light and avoid using the roof rack as it greatly affects the maneuverability of your vehicle. Also slow down and drive well below the speed limit as braking in San Jose van rentals is more difficult when compared to smaller passenger vehicles due to the weight of your car.
- Sam Jose is located in Silicon Valley, meaning that roads are often heavy with congestion and traffic, with rush hours being especially stressful for drivers. Morning rush hour often occurs between 7 am and 9 am while evening rush hour happens between 3 pm to 6 pm. Some of the major chokepoints in the city are Interstate 680 and Interstate 580, which you should try to avoid throughout the day as they are oftentimes congested throughout the entire day.
- 25% of our users found a van rental in San Jose for C$ 99 or less
- Book your van rental in San Jose at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs About Renting a Van in San Jose
Where are the best car rental locations to pick up San Jose van rentals?
For the greatest convenience when picking up your van rental in San Jose, choose to get it from the rental car center at San Jose International Airport as there are several car rental companies operating from within the airport and offering a variety of van brands and models. However, if you would prefer to head out of the airport as soon as possible, choose to pick up your van rental from downtown San Jose where there are several car rental facilities, such as Hertz and Budget.

The agent offered a upgrade for a fee for a jeep cherokee. I had an issue with my card and had to call them. I walked from the transaction to call the card provider and was assigned a Nissan Rogue. I have hated every Nissan I have driven and would never pay extra to drive one. It was past 9 pm and I still had to go home and load up before leaving on my 800 mile drive to be with my mom who's husband died the next morning. My back still hurts from the low quality nissan seating .Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Cons:
We rented for a month an SUV in order to go from CA to FL. The internal electrical stopped working on our way there. When I called to alert the problem in California, they told me to go to the nearest airport enterprise location in FL. Here, their first answer was that I should take it to a Firestone store to get it checked. I called the nearest Firestone and they told me they couldn't touch the car being so new and low milage; it was the dealership's problem. I called enterprise again and they told me to take it to the nearest dealership. At the dealership they told me that they can't service a car brought in by the customer. With enough frustration built, and the original San Jose office shinning by their absence, I demanded a simple swap of the car but they made me call 4 different enterprise locations in FL looking for an SUV replacement. An assistant manager in Daytona finally managed to put us in a minivan, but all of this took 20 calls and 3 days of painful dodging by their representatives. I will definitely be dodging their service in their future. Not recommend.8.0 Very good

1. Someone picking up the phone (called two open locations, no answer, one said to leave a message). 2. Being given instructions for one-way drop off at airport at time of rental or at least posted in rental car drop off lot. I had to call Enterprise to find out what to do once I parked the car as there was no attendant (Medford, OR). 3. Receiving revised receipt. There "special" car was a huge, double-cab pick up truck. Basically, no trunk and this was an airport pick up. So, I upgraded to a Toyota Corolla. When I dropped off the car, I was told a receipt would automatically be emailed to me but I never received and had to contact customer report for a copy.Dollar

Pros:
The car was clean and the price was very fair. However, see below...Cons:
I rented a certain class for not only the luxury comfort, but for the size. However, Dollar did not have the car I rented. They first tried to down grade me to a lower class, but larger car. I did not think this was fair so I did not agree. We went through the options and I explained, due to having two of my elder uncles with me and their need for a larger car, I needed something larger. Eventually a larger car was offered, but at a much higher rate. Again, I did not agree as a car in my category should have been available to me. Eventually I was offered another luxury vehicle (supposedly in the same class), but much smaller and the entire weekend we had difficulty getting my uncles in and out of it. Due to the inability to have a car ready for me in the class I rented I would have preferred the “upgrade” to an adequate car but the agent would not agree without additional payment to which I did not think was fair.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:

The hood of the car open but there was no indication of it on the car. Found out when it started moving on the freeway. This put my life in danger. Staff should have made sure that the hood was close and the car should have warned the driver that the hood is open.6.4 Okay
Sep. 2020
Pros:
The staff were very friendly at pick up and drop off and the car was clean. It had a few scratches, but nothing too bad. Fuel economy was better than expected.Cons:
The price was significantly better than other companies for the same type of car and it would have rated a higher score on value for money if it were not for the fact that the car needed some TLC. The engine sounded rough under load (like it was knocking), it needed oil (which I added) and the convertible top had trouble locking properly when it was lowered. I noticed later that the key had a sticker on it that said "check engine", but it seems that was not done.9.2 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff was helpful. When I picked up the car, it had a half tank of gas. They told me to return it with the same amount, which I did.

I went to the desk and the agent there and guy who checked it out a few days before to me were very helpful and corrected it (refunded the difference).6.0 Okay

Pros:
Clean car, employees at counter very politeCons:
For starters I thought I was renting car with kayak not with other party that I never heard of it. On paper it says I got car at 5:36 but reality was that car was no ready and got it at 5:59p not a problem understandable even if it delay me am put me to more traffic time but for them is not ok for us to turn late, I got there at 8;07p and seems I was charge another. My point is we don’t get discount for pick up late but get fully charged for being late “very fair”2.0 Poor

Aug. 2020
Cons:
The signs at the airport were poor. Luckily a security guard arrived and directed me to the 4th floor. I rented from Payless, a sign at their counter directed me to Budget and, in the end I got the car keys from Avis. Car was small, as ordered, so the comfort wasn't excellent, but as expected. The onboard computer and controls, in the Nissan Versa, are hard to understand and reset. I never trusted the distance-to-empty indicator/estimate and when driving almost 2,000 miles that is important. Had two cellphones connected, one for calls and one for audio. The incoming calls always kept going to voice mail after pausing the audio. Overall excellent, but quirky. Recommend9.6 Wonderful
Jul. 2020
Pros:
The person that helped us was extremely helpful and friendly. She recognized it was my birthday on the day of pickup and greeted me. No issues at drop offCons:
Our pick up was scheduled for 9 and we came to the counter at 8:45, but no one was there. We waited until about 9:14 and decided to just go to the elevator to the lot since there was still no one there to help or no sign for instructionsSixt
