Car hire prices as pick-up date approaches

If there's a family car that boasts fuel economy, comfort due to extra space and safety, it's a van. And thanks to their ability to cart around heavy equipment, vans can cater to camping, fishing, and many adventurous family trips. Vans are also higher than other cars, which makes sightseeing easier and more fun. Renting a van is also ideal because public transport in Des Moines, Iowa is minimal. The streets are narrow, and it's almost impossible to get a taxi or a bus.
Hiring a Des Moines van rental from an airport is possible. The main airport terminals include Des Moines International Airport (DSM), Des Moines Regional Airport (DSM), and the Eastern Iowa Airport (CID). And yes, you can rent a van at any of the above airport terminals. You can also rent from car rental companies such as Enterprise through KAYAK. Enterprise has rental facilities at all three airport terminals mentioned above in Des Moines. Some companies offer deals.
If you are renting a van for an overnighter, ensure that both your bumper and rear license plate are fully covered. This is necessary in case they get stolen. Also, you might not want to use a GPS while in Des Moines. They can lead you out of town and then tell you that there is no driving route. This is because some rural areas have low towers and weak cellular signal strength. Use a map instead, or hire an additional driver.
There are areas in Des Moines that let vans drive on the street with a speed limit of 30 mph or 45 mph. This is usually an excellent place to park and sleep overnight, but if there are no signs about parking, be sure to obey all traffic laws. If you can't find a parking area, try a city-owned garage that charges an hourly rate. Public parking areas don't charge anything.

The regulations for driving a rented van in Des Moines are different for commercial and personal vehicles. The laws require drivers to have a valid driver's license, pass a road test and show proof of insurance before renting a van. In addition, when renting a van with personal registration, you must have held your license for at least one year.
Which van brand is the most reliable and convenient to rent in Des Moines, Iowa?
Honda vans are the most reliable and convenient to rent. This van brand has a consistently high crash rating and offers a great transmission, hence its excellent reputation. It offers a reliable navigation system such as Bluetooth on the Go. It also allows you to get directions via Google Maps, which is integrated into the PND screen. The rear backup camera also offers parking guidance. Most van brands are safe to use, but the Honda van brand tops the list.
Which areas are safe to park a rented van in Des Moines, Iowa?
The best place to park a rental van in Des Moines is the parking area in front of the terminal. This also allows you to unload your luggage with ease.

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 staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, at the airport.

Cons:

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

When I arrived at DSM, the Budget office claimed that they had no cars to rent me because my reservation was made through Kayak.

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.
