Top Tips for Renting a Cargo Van in Dayton
- Dayton cargo van rentals will do the job regardless of the season and weather. Besides their versatile nature, these vans are built for easy maneuverability, making them ideal for transportation and delivery ventures. Not surprisingly, they are favorites among painters, moving companies, electricians, building contractors, and carpet installers. Also, a cargo van is handy for moving dorm and studio equipment or taking new students in their first semester of college. If you have a booth in a nearby market, consider loading your wares onto the van before dropping them at their destination.
- Upon arrival at James M. Cox Dayton International Airport (DAY), those planning to pick up their Dayton cargo van rentals should not be surprised to find long queues at the rental counters, with numerous renters either picking up or dropping off vehicles, resulting in increased waiting times. Therefore, reserving your van online in advance to avoid last-minute rushes might be a good idea. In addition, check with your agency about whether it allows vehicle returns at any other off-site locations at no extra cost.
- Unlike regular cars, you will need additional skills when driving Dayton cargo van rentals. First, remember that these vehicles have higher centers of gravity, hence there’s a higher chance of tipping over. Therefore, drivers need to exercise caution when entering or exiting the highway. Also, their broad, long, and high bodies mean you’ll need to check overhead clearance when navigating underpasses and obstacles. When fully loaded with cargo, the van becomes heavy, and you will need more distance to accelerate, especially when pulling out of traffic.
- Rush-hour traffic is a mixed bag in Dayton, particularly if you intend to drive toward Cincinnati or other neighboring cities. The morning snarl-up can start as early as 6:30 am and last until 9 am on weekdays. On the other hand, the afternoon and evening congestion on roads usually goes from 4 pm to 7 pm I-75 is one of the many roads that experience severe traffic during peak hours, and it might be helpful to avoid it. If you are here during winter, be wary of snow and slippery roads.

Dec 2020
Pros:
Pick-up area was easy to find, and overall the staff I interacted with were professional and friendly.Cons:
The signage about which drop-off area to use was apparently incorrect, which made things confusing and tiring after my trip.7.6 Good
Mar 2020
Cons:
It would have been helpful to have the drop off procedures for when an attendant wasn't present explained during the pickup.5.2 Fair
Jan 2018
Cons:
The employees on the phone...both times, at the desk, and at pick up and drop off. Very rude.2.0 Poor
Oct 2017
Cons:
I had to cancel my rental based on not having a major credit card. I went with Avis whom was more accommodating. I will not be renting with Dollar in the future.10.0 Wonderful
Sep 2017
Pros:
Customer service was outstanding both picking up the car and in returning. Will rent from dollar again.4.4 Mediocre
Aug 2017
Pros:
The car was nice, although it smelled pretty weird.Cons:
The car cost more than advertised, by about $100, so it was almost double of what I expected. The insurance I bought online with the car (3rd party) I was told was useless, and they were known to not honor the purchase if something were to happen, so that's $30 I won't get back. All in all it was a lot of wasted money.Thrifty

Pros:
The staff was terrible. As I was walking up to rent the vehicle they locked the door, looked at me, and left.Cons:
The customer service. I was treated much better at Alamo where I ended up having to rent from because I was not able to get my rental when I needed it from Thrifty.6.8 Okay
Sep 2020
Pros:
Thrifty staff member was very pleasant and helpful. Vehicle was very clean and ready to go.Cons:
If you rental agencies would offer something besides those cheap Chrysler products. I realize they practically give them to you (how else could they get rid of them), but they are very uncomfortable and noisy. Luckily I only need a van once in a great while. And thankfully you have better quality vehicles to rent when I need a sedan or coupe.10.0 Wonderful

Sep 2020
Pros:
The staff is great, very nice people. There was some candy between the seat and console and a stick of old spice deodorant ( I guess a 90 year old man rented the car before me because who the hell uses old spice anymore!!!) Anyway one of the candy came out in thew floor board and I ended up stepping on it and crushing into the carpet which was a real pain to clean up but I did get it cleaned.Cons:
Honestly the car could have been a little less expensive, almost $700 for a month is pretty high and as long as you are charging that much I mean would it be too much to ask for the car to actually be clean?10.0 Wonderful
