Top Tips for Renting a Cargo Van in Helena
- Whether you are carrying business or personal items, nothing offers better delivery and transportation services in Montana than Helena cargo van rentals. Versatile and with high maneuverability, they are handy in amplifying tedious and time-consuming chores like moving your handmade wares from your home store to a stand at the nearby market. Also, cargo vans are convenient for relocating dorm or studio equipment to a new apartment or taking new students to their first year in college. It is thus unsurprising that they are the vehicles of choice for contractors.
- If you arrive in Helena via air, you will likely land at Bozeman Gallatin Field Airport (BZN) or Great Falls Airport (GTF). At both facilities, numerous renters are signing their paperwork to either pick up or drop off their Helena cargo van rentals. To this end, expect long queues and extended waiting times before you are served. Suppose you are in a hurry to catch the next connecting flight. In that case, it might be inconvenient, and you risk missing your flight. Therefore, endeavor to book your van online in advance to avoid going through the slow process at the garage. Also, an early reservation is a surer way of getting a discounted rate.
- Due to their large, broad size, and high roofs, you will need a few skills before sitting behind the wheel of Helena cargo van rentals. First is sufficient clearance when navigating obstacles, bridges, and underpasses. Secondly, remember that these vehicles have raised centers of gravity and a higher propensity for tipping than standard cars. Exercise extra caution when entering or exiting a highway or navigating a steep gradient. Thirdly, these vehicles cannot handle sudden braking and abrupt maneuverability. Therefore, keep a safe distance from the car in front of you.
- Helena experiences road congestion in the mornings and evenings. The traffic snarl-up starts at about 7 am as residents drive to work, fading at around 9 am On the other hand, the evening rush hour begins at around 4:30 pm up to 5:30 pm, when residents rush to return to their homes. You are thus advised to plan your ventures outside peak hours when the roads are mostly empty. Specifically, avoid the W. Custer Avenue-N. Montana Avenue cross street due to severe congestion. If you are here in winter, fix your vehicle with winter tires to safely drive on wet surfaces.

Jul 2017
Pros:
"Gordon" checked us in and we found him to be pleasant / willing to answer any questions that we had. When I got to the car I noticed a rather large "ding" in the front door, passenger side, which was not noted on the initial paperwork. I brought the ding to Gordon's attention and took a photo. Without any fanfare Gordon noted the damage on our paperwork. Gordon also said he would be available during our rental period should any other needs or concerns arise. His attitude was very much appreciated! :)Cons:
We did not like our experience when we returned the vehicle. The lady just had an attitude that shouted "I don't care!" No greeting.. just, "Picking up or dropping off?" No smile.. no "How was the car?" Just, "Got the keys? Want your paperwork?" So we handed in the mileage / gas tank level and were on our way.Hertz

Pros:
The car was clean & ready - but one tire was seriously low on air. The Hertz employee went above and beyond and had it repaired in short order by a local tire shop. Drop off was a breeze.Cons:
An excellent experience with great caring staff. What more could I ask for? All rental car agencies charge a significant premium for full size SUV's - so it was quite pricey.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Car condition was fine and acquiring went smoothly.Cons:
Because we only drove locally and as a means to get ourselves to the airport while our daughter at work, we used less than 75 miles. We were then charged a $15 fee for low mileage. Ridiculous as we spared the car and company wear and tear as a result so why be penalized?6.4 Okay

Pros:
The folks behind the counter were incredibly kind and easy to work with. When the car I reserved wasn't available, they asked what my needs were for renting and made sure I had an alternate available.Cons:
Sadly the car type I reserved wasn't available. I ended up in a larger car which wasnt terribly inconvenient but I felt like I wasn't getting what I expected.National

Jul 2020
Pros:
Cahill and Silas found me a good rate and cleaned the car before giving it to me. My Ford Explorer had Sirius/XM, which was fun as I drove across the country.Cons:
On a car with fewer than 2,000 miles, I was astonished to get a flat tire. Even worse, it turned out that my rental had no spare tire! No full-size, no "doughnut" size either! Roadside assistance was courteous, but it was estimated to be 4-5 hours before a new vehicle could be delivered. Instead, I drove to a nearby Sears Tire store. Still, the flat delayed my trip by 3.5 hours.6.4 Okay
Jul 2016
Cons:
I reserved an intermediate car and got a Nissan Sentra. Is that really an intermediate car? It seemed overpriced for the size and features (no satellite radio, etc). It was late at night and the parking lot was kind of far from the desk so I really didn't have an incentive to complain to the desk clerk. He told me it was a Nissan Sentra, but I'm not really familiar with many makes and models. Surprised when I get NYC area prices in Helena, MT.5.6 Fair
Jul 2016
Pros:
The car was fine. Slight smell of smoke :-(Cons:
I waited at the counter at Helena Airport for almost half an hour before anyone showed up. I called the number on te sign at the counter No answer. I called the 800 number, spoke to a person, put on hold, disconnected by rating message. The attendant at the Avis counter went to look for the attendant, no luck. I called the 800 message again, waited, and finally the attendant showed up.Easirent
