Booking Berkeley van rentals is a great way to explore the city. Van rentals are incredibly convenient when traveling with a large group of friends, families, or group travelers. They are also spacious, allowing you to bring luggage, camping gear, or camping equipment in the car. In addition, they’re reliable, and you can visit any attraction you’d like, including the Berkeley Art Museum, The Greek Theatre, or the Lawrence Hall of Science. You can easily travel to these locations without the hassle of catching the right bus at the right time, and no more steep fares outside your budget.
When traveling to Berkeley, you will most likely arrive via Oakland International Airport. The airport offers an off-site car-rental center. Upon arrival, you can take the shuttle bus, which operates between terminals every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day. The shuttle takes you from the terminals to the rental center. The car-rental center has several rental agencies, including Alamo, Budget, Dollar, Hertz, National, and Enterprise. They offer a wide range of van rentals, so you’re sure to get the ideal vehicle. Since most customers use the airport’s car-rental center, consider making early bookings to avoid waiting in line for hours during pick-up.
Driving in Berkeley, you’ll need to have some driving laws in mind to avoid getting in trouble with your rental van. First, always follow the three-second rule and avoid following vehicles too closely to avoid rear-end collisions. Avoid distracted driving, including driving while using phones, eating, or talking to passengers. A yellow light means you slow down and prepare to stop; exceeding the road’s designated speed limit is dangerous and illegal.
Rush hour is the worst time for auto accidents. The city’s rush hour typically peaks between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6:40 p.m. It’s recommended that you avoid driving during the city’s rush hour. However, if you must drive during these hours, avoid Highway 13, Shattuck, Telegraph, University, San Pablo, Solano, Ashby, Alcatraz, and College Avenue. Consider diving on other highways during these rush hours.

The more rental agencies there are, the greater the chance you have to get the ideal rental van. Plus, most car-rental companies at the airport operate 24/7. You can find services regardless of the time you arrive in or depart from the city. Car-rental agencies that do not operate 24/7 offer drop-box services for self-pickup and drop-off.
What are the best places to park van rentals in Berkeley?
Berkeley provides off-street as well as street-parking options. Street parking in the city is usually clearly marked. Off-street parking includes mall parking, hotel parking, and public garages. Malls and hotels only allow you to park your van if you’re using their services. However, if you need reliable and safe parking options, consider parking your van rentals in one of the city’s public garages. These include Center Street Parking, Allston Way, Oxford, Ampco System Parking, and the Telegraph-Channing Garage. These public garages offer enough parking spaces for rental vans, and you won’t have to worry about minor accidents and scratches that are more likely when parking on the street.
What are the best van rental brands to book in Berkeley?
The best brand of rental vans in Berkeley is Chrysler. Chrysler offers comfortable, practical, sleek models like Pacifica and Voyager. These models let you choose between V6 or plug-in hybrids. They can also be equipped with all-wheel drive to drive on any terrain in the city. In addition, these vehicles offer ample cargo capacity that allows you to bring any luggage on board. These can also carry up to seven passengers. These models are ideal for any trip—long road trips or short drives.

One extra hour of rental costed half of the full day rate. It might be common but it’s still outrageous.

I was not provided with the car category I was promised when booking online. I booked Toyota RAV4 and similar type, but I was given Nissan Kicks when I went to pick up the car. To add to the injury, the agent insulted my intelligence by claiming that the two cars are of same category. I am on vacation and didn’t want to challenge his claim and start an argument and ruin my vacation. I guess that might be exactly the reason why the rental company don’t care about fulfilling its own commitments. I am taking this up with the company and will update here whether I receive a credit back the differences in rental price.

Compact SUV

Well, first of all the fees I didn't know was Is going to happen. The car that I was gonna get wasn't charged yet.They wanted me to charge it before even took off. It was supposed to be 58$ and I knew that I was gonna have to get insurance but it was like 3 different types and roadside was seperate also. Soi was chargeed 30 to reserve it 96 for the rental and $100 extra . And the $300 deposit I didn't know about I had to go put cash in my bank when I came back they closed for the day. I wasn't able to get the car. So I missed the wedding.I was supposed to go to and that really sucked.

Very long process to get the car, unnecessarily so. Had to talk to two people to leave with the car that I had reserved. I waited over 30 minutes in the lobby amongst other renters. Strange

I got a text from Enterprise saying that there were no cars available from the location that was closest to me. Even though I reserved it through Kayak stating that the car that I reserved was available. Sucks. I canceled the reservation, went elsewhere.

Nothing. Told me they didn’t haven’t care.

Cons:

Not being extremely rude, and announce they have the right to cancel my reservation at Hertz if they don’t have cars even though it said they do online. Multiple other car agencies said they do not have cars available. Hertz said they did and the man at the desk was very rude and unhelpful.
