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.
  • Book your van rental in Monterey at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • May is typically the cheapest month to rent a van in Monterey, with prices around $104 per day. The most expensive month is August, with average prices of $160 per day.

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. Mineta International Airport (SJC), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), or Oakland International Airport (OAK), most of the car rental agencies on site will have vans available. 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. You can find a Hertz car rental agency along the coast in the north of the city on Del Monte Boulevard. Nearby, also in the northern section of the city, you can find an Enterprise Rent-A-Car at Echo Avenue. Further south, in the heart of Monterey, you can find an Enterprise Rent-A-Car agency on Del Monte Avenue.

  • How does KAYAK find such low van rental prices?

    KAYAK compares van rental prices from all major car rental companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.

We paid for a Honda Accord or similar, and when we arrived, we were told we were to get a Corolla. Not a "similar" vehicle. When pressed, we were offered a Nissan Altima. Again, not a reasonable comparison. We should have been offered an "upgrade" to a full-size or, at very least, something more premium. Anyway, the staff were nice.

Got extra charges for late return, but I returned the car almost 10 hours before I had to do. But Hertz told me I returned two hours too late. Scam scheme

Car was damaged at pickup. Tried to report to agent at counter but they disappeared to wash a car. Tried calling customer service number on receipt but they said they could only manage reservations. Tried emailing customer service with images of the damage and never heard back.

When I got into the vehicle, the windshield and every window of the car were covered with water on the inside. The windows were all closed, so it seems like someone may have cleaned off the entire inside and not dried any of it. I had to wipe everything down with some spare clothes, then blast the heat until the windshield finished drying off. It took ages and I ended up with some wet clothes. Was completely unacceptable.

I made the reservation through Kayak, they called me 1 hour before the pick up time and told me they don’t have the car. The person I talked to was very rude, refused to let me talk to his manager, refused to tell me his full name, and at the end told me his is not going to do anything for me.
