Top Tips for Renting a Cargo Van in Lake Charles
- Whether summer or winter, day or night, you can never go wrong with Lake Charles Cargo Van Rentals for your transportation needs. A cargo van is ideal for doing daunting and time-consuming tasks, among them relocating your dorm or studio equipment, taking a student to the first year of college, or moving your homemade crafts and other wares to the nearby market. The vans are particularly common among contractors, such as electricians, painters, carpet installers, and dry cleaners.
- Lake Charles Regional Airport (LCH) is a popular gateway into Louisiana located about 5 miles from downtown Lake Charles. Suppose you intend to pick up your car upon arrival at the airport. In that case, expect to find long queues and extended waiting times. Many of the arriving passengers and departing travelers will be clearing with agency representatives before taking or returning their Lake Charles Cargo Van Rentals. Therefore, reserving your van online in advance might be helpful to avoid last-minute rushes.
- Lake Charles Cargo Van Rentals have longer, wider bodies and higher roofs than regular vehicles. Also, a fully loaded van is usually heavier than other cars. To this end, you’ll require additional skills before sitting behind the wheel. For instance, allowing for more distance when pulling out in traffic is essential to compensate for slower acceleration. Still, you will require more clearance when driving through underpasses and bridges and navigating obstacles.
- You may find it challenging driving Lake Charles Cargo Van Rentals during the rush hours as people go to work or return home after long days at the office. Congestion in Lake Charles varies depending on the street. Therefore, consider mapping your travel route early to avoid getting stuck in the gridlock. Whereas some roads experience severe snarl-ups, other roads have fair traffic movement. Such streets include Pujo, Clarence St, Hodges St, W Pujo, and Ryan St. Bear in mind that winters are usually cold with freezing temperatures and slippery roads. As such, getting winter tires is recommended.

Pros:
Alamo didn’t have a car for me. They did the same thing to me last year. You need to stop contracting with them. The lady over the counter even stated don’t go through a third partyCons:
The car was supposed to be ready at 12, I received a phone call from Alamo that there was no car. She stated she would call me back as soon as one became available She I showed up at 8pm and they still didn’t have a car. It wasn’t until I became visibly upset and started saying things so the customers could hear me that did they mysteriously came up with a car.2.8 Poor

My flight was running late, I called to make accommodations since my pick up was scheduled for 2 but i wouldnt make it in until around 430 (they closed at 4) and was treated rudely by staff at LCH. Asked if they could drop car at FBO for general aviation (only a 3 min walk) since i was flying in private aircraft as they’ve done in the past and just told no. When I picked up car at competitor they told me they would have been happy to drop car and the enterprise attendant working is known for being rude and not helpful.2.0 Poor

Cons:
Being made to pick up the vehicle at a time when that particular rental office was closed - having to rebook through Enterprize for another location (in town) at the airport and being charged a new fee ($5 per day facility fee) and then returning the vehicle two and a half days early and getting charged almost the same original fee. What a dissappointment!9.2 Wonderful

Mar 2017
Pros:
car was an upgrade from what I originally ordered and I had to add a day to the rental...I was allowed to do that at the same discounted rate as original order! Great to hear!Cons:
Fortunately, I had a corporate # code because I only had a debit card to use.. Would be great if debit card was acceptable once credit check is passed.2.0 Poor
Feb 2017
Cons:
I paid for the car reservation online where it asked me my age multiple times. I went to pick it up weeks later. They let me pay for it online but I was under 25 so they couldn't accept my payment for the deposit and if I did pay cash it would more than double the price of the car. There was no age limit on the site. The only thing it said was had to be 21. I was late for my trip, have no money to use on vacation be cause I had to find an alternate was to get there, and have to wait 10 days for a refund!!Budget

Cons:
I request a rental 6 days before getting my rental. When I got there, the lady ran all my information and then said we don't have the convertible that you requested. Then, she asked if I wanted another car. If I wanted anot her car, I would have requested another car. I wanted the convertible that I requested. I ended up with no car from Budget. I was so mad.8.8 Very good
