Top Tips for Hiring a Cargo Van in Des Moines

  • Rental cargo vans in Des Moines provide cost-effective and flexible transport options for moving large objects like furniture, office supplies, and other bulky items. It is cheaper to rent a van when you need it than to buy and maintain your own. Cargo vans are larger in size than regular cars, which makes it simpler to move things of various sizes and forms with them. Using a leased van allows you to choose your own travel times and routes, which is not possible if you use the city's public transportation.
  • You must be 21 years of age or older to rent a cargo van from any of the cargo van rental companies in Des Moines. Two basic documents must be in your possession when you pick up your van. The first one is a current driver's license with your name and a clear photo on it. A major debit card or credit card, which serves as both the second required document and the approved form of payment, is required. Aside from these two requirements, foreign drivers also need to have a current passport and an international driving permit.
  • If you follow some basic traffic laws and regulations, such as child seat and safety belt laws, you will have a great experience with Des Moines cargo van rentals. If you are driving your van when your child(ren) is/are under the age of eight, you must make sure they are in an appropriate child restraint, such as a booster seat or child car seat. Regardless of where you are seated in the car, you must remain in a seatbelt according to Iowa's seatbelt requirements.
  • Like all other drivers in Des Moines, cargo van drivers have trouble navigating the majority of the city's roads during morning and evening rush hours because of excessive traffic. At around 7 am in the morning and later, at around 5:30 pm, the situation is worse. N. Ankeny Boulevard and 1st Street are now the most affected roads. Consider taking a different route if you have one to your destination in order to avoid this one.

FAQs About Hiring a Cargo Van in Des Moines

  • Where is the best cargo van rental location in Des Moines?

    Des Moines Airport (DSM) is one of the greatest locations to rent Des Moines cargo van rentals. The availability of a large variety of cargo van models and types makes these two airport facilities, out of the many car rental locations throughout the city, popular. When you rent your van from one of these places, you have the option of selecting a certain van model or type based on your requirements.

  • What are the best places to park a cargo van in Des Moines?

    There are many parking alternatives in Des Moines, but street parking is the most popular. However, because of their size, cargo vans pose a risk of getting hit by or impeding other vehicles when parked along Des Moines' roadways. Because there are fewer cars on these streets on weekends and/or at night, street parking is always a good choice. Consider parking your cargo van in the City of Des Moines Parking Garage or 3rd & Court Parking Garage for safety.

  • How convenient is it to rent an electric cargo van in Des Moines?

    Des Moines boasts 275 electric charging stations that are dispersed across the city, making it simple for drivers of electric vehicles from various locations to reach them. So, if you're intending to use Des Moines cargo van rentals, think about choosing an electric van for your chance to lower your overall carbon footprint. In addition to being environmentally friendly, hiring an electric cargo van gives you the opportunity to travel in style because these vans include the newest designs.  

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

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

Cons:

The vehicle we had reserved had been "given away". We were given an upgrade; however it was not very comfortable. We had reserved a vehicle we knew we would be comfortable in for the long drive. Vehicle was dirty inside - used our own wipes to sanitize. Windshield wipers did not work properly. Was stressful on day 2 of the drive in the rain.

The person I spoke to on the phone, after my initial flight was canceled, could not have been less helpful, or more condescending.

There was no rental experience with Budget because despite having a confirmed reservation, their counter was closed when I arrived. My flight was delayed getting in. Myself and others had confirmed reservations but the employees left for the evening. Thankfully Hertz was open and had a car for me. Hertz was a great experience.

Will never use them again. Insane after-the-fact price hijacking and terrible service. I have been renting cars several times a year for years. I had never used Payless before but needed to book something about a week in advance of the date. It was about $300 to book for 3 days which was already expensive but when I picked up the car they tacked on another full day because they charge by the “24 hours” not by the day, which was already absurd. They would not budge on the cost, which was a surprise upon pickup. When I picked up the car the total came to over $600! For 3 days with a car! They wouldn’t explain the Huge increase except that it was a high demand time and that’s just the cost of the car. Awful experience. Will stick with the better name brands that are fair and honest about pricing.

Friendly counter staff, but they were making everyone scan a QR code and give them a 5 star review before they would give you a car. Very odd. They also charged way too much for this car but I needed it and they were the only ones with cars. It’s a fine line between charging what the market will bear and price gouging. The car was smaller (and cheesier) than what I ordered. It was like driving a Coke can. Finally, when my plans changed and I needed to return the car early, they would not refund the difference. They cited a paragraph in their contract, which was literally far too small to read. Overall not a good experience.

When I arrived at the counter, I was told that I could not rent a car because I had not arrived on an incoming flight. This was never mentioned prior to my arriving to pick up the car. I needed the car for a family emergency, and no other companies had cars available. I will never try to rent from American again. I will also not likely ever use Kayak again.
