Top Tips for Renting a Van in Monterey
- Driving Monterey van rentals is an easy, convenient, and delightful way to see this breathtaking city situated on the coast of Northern California. If you are visiting family or friends, or traveling with family and friends, you can all drive around the area together, making sure that you get to your scenic destinations at the same time, and you don't lose track of anybody. Whether you are driving in a passenger van or a minivan, you will be able to relax for a comfortable ride and have plenty of room for backpacks, purses, outdoor recreation equipment, picnic supplies, and souvenirs.
- Monterey van rentals make ideal vehicles for driving up and down the California coast, going into Oregon and Washington, or even crossing the border into Canada or Mexico. However, before you cross any state or international borders, make sure you obtain permission from the car rental company. If you are going into Mexico, you will need to buy Mexican liability insurance from them. If you are crossing into Canada, they will need to issue you a Canadian non-resident card as proof of insurance.
- For those who intend to opt out of the car rental agency’s insurance and instead use your own insurance, either through your personal auto policy or through a credit card, play it safe and bring either screenshots or photocopies of the paragraphs in the insurance policy that says rental cars are covered. Some rental car agencies will not let you leave the lot with their vehicles unless you either buy their insurance or show them definitive proof that you have insurance of your own that will cover the vehicle.
- To secure Monterey van rentals, drivers need to be at least 21 years old. However, many agencies will charge you an extra daily fee if you are a driver who is 24 years old or younger. If you fall into this category, it is well worth your while to call around to different agencies to see if they do indeed assess this fee and if they do, how much it is. At the time that you collect your vehicle, you will need to show your valid driver's license and a credit card that belongs to you that you can use to put a security deposit on the rental vehicle.

FAQs About Renting a Van in Monterey
Should I join a car rental agency’s rewards program?
If you are not already a member of the car rental agency’s rewards program, it could benefit you to join before you pick up your Monterey van rental. Many rewards programs, such as Avis Preferred, Budget Fastbreak, and Alamo Victory have membership perks that allow you to either join a smaller line, skip to the front of the line, or skip the line all together when you arrive to pick up your vehicle. Joining these programs is free, and you can do it when you make your reservation, the day you are going to pick up your car, or even as you're waiting in a long line at the rental agency itself.
Does the airport have Monterey van rentals available?
Most airports that you can fly into for a visit to Monterey will have minivans and/or passenger vans in their fleets of cars. If you fly into major airports such as San Jose Notman Y.

But when you call to make your reservation, make sure that they will have a van available for your specific dates. At the Monterey Regional Airport (MRY), agencies such as Avis, Enterprise, Alamo, and National have minivans available.
Can I find any rental agencies in town that have Monterey van rentals available?
There are a few car rental agencies in Monterey near the coast that rent minivans and sometimes passenger vans.

Feb 2017
Pros:
Able to reserve the all-wheel drive, large-size SUV the day before I needed it and at a very good rate on kayak.com, far less than I expect to pay (40% less than several direct car rental websites). Vehicle was in excellent condition with only 8,000 miles on it. Ran beautifully from Monterey to Tahoe and back through some pretty rough storm conditions. Easy pick-up and return at the Monterey Regional Airport.Cons:
There was nothing I didn't like about the rental car or the company, or the process of getting it online through kayak.com.Budget

Apr 2021
Pros:
No, I tried to call their office various times the day before, and they put me on hold for a long time twice, then just hung up the 3rd try. After that it just went to corporate.Cons:
The young man I encountered upon arrival was very brusque. Whipped thru the paperwork, and when I asked to confirm the quoted price, he said a price of $40 more. I asked why and he said it was because I was picking it up early (less than an hour difference, the flight was a bit early). He re-did it all to reflect the price I was quoted. Never had anything like that happen before.2.0 Poor

Cons:
Rental was for 08:00 am, but the car was not ready until 09:00. Was told they do not have the staff and he could not tell me when the car would be ready. Once the car was delivered, still had trash in the back from prior rental.8.0 Very good
Oct 2020
Pros:
The staff was great, the service was excellent - easy pick up and drop-off (and the woman staffing the desk remembered me three days later!). I found the entire experience to be easy and understandable (where to go, what to do, etc.) from beginning to end.Cons:
The car wasn't all that great. It was safe, it was functional, and it was most definitely clean. However, I would have preferred something a little more comfortable and modern, even at my small-car/low-level need.9.2 Wonderful

Aug 2019
Pros:
No cars in stock but they still let you make reservation on internet and waste so much time. Horrible. Totally unprofessional.10.0 Wonderful
Jan 2019
Pros:
Learning the art of advanced booking helps. Even with the pressure of the holidays, the staff maintained professionalism and tried to help others when their cars ran out. Glad I reserved earlier. Awesome ride, they suggested an upgrade which really helped because what I initially reserved, would've been a miserable fit for my size. Good team work! BUT it's a small lot and I don't think there are any other rental places nearby other than the airport, so last minute renters might continue to face off with staff there unfortunately.Cons:
Not sure when this started but have rental car places stopped caring about the outside of their cars? The inside was ok but the outside seemed it was wiped with a muddy rag. Other than that, nothing bad about this experience for me.10.0 Wonderful
