Top Tips for Renting a Van in Boulder
- Boulder van rentals make it easy for the family to travel together while on vacation. They are also a fun way to travel to sporting events or business conferences as a group. If you’re in Boulder and don’t have your own transportation, your travel will be limited. This is because their bus system only operates in the city proper. You cannot take it to popular ski towns or hiking areas, such as Eldora Ski Town (about 21 miles away) or Wonderland Lake Trailhead (about 10 minutes away). Booking a Boulder van rental will let you see all this scenic city and beyond.
- If you’re looking to rent a van near Downtown Boulder, there are offices for Thrifty, Budget, and Avis on 49th Street, just under 2 miles from the heart of the city. Farther away from downtown, at the Meadows Shopping Center on Baseline Road, Avis has a car rental office. An Enterprise office is just off the Colorado State Highway 7 on Arapahoe Avenue.
- As with many larger cities, people in Boulder tend to live outside the city and commute to downtown for work. This can make for heavy traffic during peak travel hours (or rush hours). In Boulder, traffic tends to get busy in the morning at around 6:30 am and slows down at about 9 am. Returning home from school or work can also cause traffic backup. This starts at around 4 pm and continues until around 6 pm. The main highways are the busiest roads, including Colorado State Highway 7, Highway 119, and Highway 36. It would be smart to avoid the highways during rush hours.
- Snow is common in Boulder in the winter months. If you’re going to enjoy Boulder van rentals during this season, you should know a few things. First, make sure that your van rental has a snow brush and ice scraper in the back seat. It is important to keep your windshield and windows free of snow and ice for better visibility. When the road is covered in snow, always allow more space between you and the car in front of you. This gives you more room to stop. Finally, check the forecast often, and don’t travel far if a snowstorm is expected.

FAQs About Renting a Van in Boulder
What Boulder van rental is best if I have a large family?
Some passenger vans are smaller and seat only seven to eight people. However, larger vans like the Chevrolet Express or the Ford Transit can comfortably fit twelve to fifteen people. The Ford Transit is designed for safety and comfort. It has a blind spot assist, built-in navigation, and power sliding doors, which make it easy to get in and out of this van. The Chevrolet Express also has numerous safety and comfort features, including a rear park assist, a rear vision camera, and plenty of head space and legroom for a comfortable ride.
Where is the best place to park my van rental in Boulder?
Finding parking for your Boulder van rental should not be difficult. Parking on the street is convenient if you’re making a quick stop at an ice cream or coffee shop. It is free for the first 15 minutes and about $2/hour after that. There are parking meters where you can pay, or you can use the parking app. There is a three-hour limit for street parking, so if you plan to walk around downtown and be there for several hours, you might park in a parking garage. Parking in a garage will cost you about $15 for the day.

To rent a van in Boulder, you will have to hold a valid driver’s license. An international driving permit might be required if you're from another country.

Jul 2020
Pros:
Drop off was super easy and I got an even better car than I expected.Cons:
The all fees including the deposit should have been included in my reservation details. The location I was originally supposed to pick the car up from was closed and I only found a bit before I was supposed to pick the car up.6.0 Okay
Dec 2019
Pros:
Staff member Sarah was very nice.Cons:
The initial car had a broken windshield washer, and I was told there were no other cars available. After a call and a couple of trips back to the car rental place, they were able to find another car. It would have been unsafe to drive a car without a functioning windshield washer especially on snowy roads in Colorado.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The employee I interacted with both times was pleasant to deal with. He upsold me and I'm glad I did -- he suggested I rent the next biggest vehicle to fit all passengers and luggage and I barely fit.Cons:
The car was not cleaned at all when I got into it. There were drink splatters on the interior windows, trash, dirt and crumbs on seats and floors; the outside was dirty as well.2.4 Poor
Jun 2019
Cons:
The staff was rude, and gave us a minivan instead of a sedan. We had to wait outside on the pavement with our luggage while he vacuumed the van, as it hadn't been cleaned yet. Still filthy once we got in, dog hair and gunk everywhere. No apologies about the inconvenience.4.0 Mediocre

Oct 2020
Pros:
The staff was friendly just understaffed not enough help. Your employee had to attempt to clean cars, rent cars, fill cars with gas at another location. How can hertz justify one employee to do all those jobs and not be able to attend to customers in a timely manner. The car had just returned from Florida wasn’t cleaned to covid standards. There was dry dirt prints on the seats from a dog being in the vehicle. Wasn’t wiped down properly. If you have covid standards then they are not being met! This employee is doing the best he can with all these jobs and hats put on him. I don’t fault your employee I fault hertz corporate rent a car for the sub standards. I don’t know about the higher ups but when I spend $353.00 of my money to rent your car I expect a clean car the outside had bug kill in the hood and windshield. I am disappointed in this transaction and hope you take this into account how you handle your rental business in the future!Cons:
The car could have been cleaned inside and out that isn’t a far fetched expectation.8.0 Very good
