Top Tips for Renting a Van in Madison
- Madison van rentals provide ample seating capacity, making them ideal for transporting groups of people, whether it's for family vacations, group outings, or business trips. You can typically find vans with seating options for 7, 12, or even 15 passengers, accommodating various group sizes. Vans offer more interior space compared to regular cars, providing greater comfort for passengers and extra room for luggage, sports equipment, or other cargo. This is especially useful for longer journeys.
- The Dane County Regional Airport (MSN) is one of the easiest places to get Madison van rentals in this area. This airport offers the convenience I've offered rental services from around six major rental car companies. Each one of the companies has a customer service desk near the baggage claim. For your convenience, all vans for rent sit right outside the terminal building, meaning there's no need to ride a shuttle bus to get to your van.
- Ensure that everyone in the vehicle is wearing a seatbelt, regardless of their age or seating position. In more rural or wooded areas near Madison, such as the outskirts and the Arboretum, be cautious of wildlife crossing the road, especially during dawn and dusk. If visiting during the winter months, be prepared for snow and icy conditions. Equip your vehicle with snow tires or chains if necessary and drive cautiously in inclement weather.
- In Madison, the busiest driving times for Madison van rentals typically align with rush hours, which are similar to many urban areas in the United States. Typically from around 7:00 to 9:00 am and from around 4:30 to 6:30 pm, you may find heavier traffic, especially along Interstate 90 (I-90, Interstate 94 (I-94), Highway 12 (US-12), and Highway 14 (US-14). You may also find heavy traffic during major annual events such as The Isthmus Beer and Cheese Fest, The Dane County Farmers' Market, and Brat Fest.

Cons:
When I first arrived, I was told the minivan I rented had been sold. Then I was told he had to speak to the manager to see if he could find a minivan (which I needed to move my daughter out of her apartment). They "found" another minivan and it was filthy. Then I requested to be able to pay for tolls and they said this vehicle did not have that option. One would think that all rental vehicles would have that options. I then had to figure out how to attach the plate and pay for tolls on the highway to Illinois. I have rented vehicles from Hertz many times and this was not the best experience I have had.8.0 Very good

Fastbreak could have been quicker. The car had a terrible Cigar odor that caused me an the passengers to feel sick to our stomachs. We had to periodically open the windows to try to mitigate the cigar smell and sick to stomach feeling. I'm requesting a credit towards a future car rental. Thank you.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff at the counter were very pleasant and helpful.Cons:
The car was in pretty poor condition. It had some dents and scratches, and if it had been cleaned the cleaning didn't show. Candidly, the car wasn't worth the high rental cost; I've had much nicer cars for a lower cost at other airports.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Briana (I think it was Briana) at the Dane County Airport helped me quickly get into a great car after a disastrous experience with having a flight canceled without warning. I was in a hurry and on a tight budget. She was kind and helpful and got me a wonderful, reliable and comfy car, fast.National
