Call the local companies and inquire about the makes and models of the vans they provide. Ask about the rates for each type of van, and inquire about mileage --- to include offers of unlimited mileage --- as well as any additional fees or available discounts for models of interest.
Look for information online about the makes and models available to you. Take into consideration the size, including sitting and storage space, as well the gas mileage, industry rating and any special features of a particular model.
Prior to deciding on a rental van or van rental agency, ask to test drive a few of the vans you are considering. Take your business elsewhere if a particular agency does not permit pre-rental test drives.
Read consumer reviews of the van rental agency, as well as reviews of the van itself. If either the agency or the van has received more negative reviews than positive, consider another vehicle or van rental company.
