Top Tips for Renting a Van in Ocala
- Having your own Ocala van rentals means you can easily carry luggage, sports equipment, or other belongings without the constraints of limited space on public transit. It's a convenient option for families or large groups. Also, when you rent a van, you have privacy and space for your group or family. It's ideal for personal conversations, business discussions, or a quiet ride. Most importantly, vans can provide easier access to remote or less frequented areas that may not be easily reachable by public transportation, including Alexander Springs and Gores Landing Park.
- When driving Ocala van rentals, it's essential to be familiar with and follow local traffic regulations to ensure a safe and legal driving experience. For instance, adhere to posted speed limits, which can vary depending on the type of road and the surrounding area—30 mph in residential areas, 55 mph on two-lane highways, and 70 mph on some interstates. In addition, some intersections in Florida have traffic cameras to monitor for red-light violations. Therefore, always obey traffic signals. Remember, Florida has strict laws regarding impaired driving – the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08%.
- Driving Ocala van rentals can be different from driving other types of cars. For example, they are typically larger and taller than standard cars, affecting maneuverability, visibility, and parking. You may need to adjust your driving habits to account for the van's size. Besides, vans may have a higher center of gravity, making them more prone to rolling over if they are driven too fast in sharp turns or uneven terrain. Therefore, you should be cautious when navigating curves and corners.
- Like many urban areas, Ocala does experience some traffic congestion, particularly during certain times of the day. Rush hours usually occur during the morning (7:00 am and 9:00 am) and evening (4:00 pm and 6:00 pm) commuting times on weekdays. Some of the roads that may experience notorious congestion during peak times include SW College Road, South Pine Avenue, Interstate 75, and Silver Springs Boulevard.

Pros:
Yes, the staff were friendly. Their price for the large high-roof van was awesome, especially with the unlimited miles. Actually got over 20 mpg with the van, even when fully loaded with furniture during a 234 mile round trip.Cons:
The van was a little dirty inside the cargo area, but nothing serious. If the price remains the same, I'd use Hertz again if I have need for a cargo van rental.6.8 Okay

Pros:
when i arrived in Ocala to pick up my car i was asked to show two pictured forms of id, i did not fly there so i did not carry my passport and i do not even need one unless i travel out of country. Katie was just doing her job and would not rent to me because your computer requested the 2nd id. i usually use Enterprise to travel, however your rates appeared to be better. i arrived much earlier and returned my car early and was charged over 300 dollars for two days. i called avis and you rerouted me to pick up a car in the ocala airport, the gentleman also has the same request of me to show two form of picture id. he rented to me anyway but gave me a crossover which ate more then half the gas that the ikea would have used. you should have stated that i would need that id, what a stress you caused me to an already stressful time in my life.Cons:
state you might need a second picture id. your prices werent the price you state upon holding your car. i will not use avis if i can help it in the future.2.0 Poor

Pros:
VERY, VERY BAD experience. Reserved a convertible for 9AM. When we arrived convertible was not available. We were given a DIRTY Dodge Charger. The car was dusty on the outside had not been cleaned or disinfected in the inside. We had to wipe down the seats and steering wheel. This is a pandemic I expected a disinfected car. Car also smelled of cigarette smoke. Why would two grandmothers want a Dodge Charger. We ordered a mustang convertible to enjoy the Florida sun. We are very unhappy. I will tell everyone I know about my BAD experience with Avis/KAYAK.Cons:
The car we ordered (Convertible) should have been at the pick up area. Attendant should have worked with us, we were willing to go to another location for a convertible. He was not helpful Attendant needs customer service training Attendant needs more Avis training. Replacement car was filthy both inside and out. Replacement car needed to be disinfected inside we are in a pandemic Replacement car needed the smell of smoke removed WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH BOTH AVIS AND KAYAK2.0 Poor

Jun 2020
Pros:
The price was right on. Ease of pick and drop off was good.Cons:
We were given a car with a tire that had a known issue of leaking air. This created a situation on our road trip where we needed to swap out the car. The office in Ocala, Florida was disorganized, and the representative at the counter was disinterested. The gentleman in the car area was helpful and kind and filled the tires with air. However, this car should not have been rented out to anyone as there was a known tire leak.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Ease of booking through kayak.Cons:
Arrived at pickup location at 7:30 for 8am pickup. Told "we are not open, take a seat." I was asked for my name at aproximately 7:50am. Rep briefly looked over paperwork and stated I do not have a car to fill your reservation. I asked, "with all due respect, what is the point of a reservation?" the reps response "that is a great question, what is the point of a reservation, corporate does this to me all the time overbooking" I inquired what could be done to resolve the issue. The rep stated she could rent the one fill size vehicle she had on the lot at that time that was actually for a renter later on in the day. Rep stated she would not price match the vehicle to meet my reservation. Offered no resolution to the problem, did not attempt to contact another location to transfer a vehicle, did not notify me of the problem upon arrival although she was completely aware but instead continued conversation with co-workers. This reservation was made 2 days in advance, my fiance and I both took the day off of work and registered to attend a seminar out of town. The rep then proceeded to tell me I need to put myself in her shoes. She picked up paperwork from the counter and stated she had 10 additional reservations all for small cars that she could not fill for the day. The reps behavior, lack of empathy and sheer lack of customer service / willing to assist was completely unacceptable. Absolutely nothing was done to resolve the matter or to provide any reassurance this would never again be an issue.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

The drop off location had been shut down and had to locate another drop off site. Gentleman was nice and waived the charge to return it to a different site than stated on contract. This should not have happened, if a location has been shut down, then it should not have been in the drop off options.8.0 Very good

I just did not like the style of the car. It was uncomfortable. It smelled like a dog had been in there previously. I had to drive to pick my son up and all of his stuff smelled like dog when we got home. Maybe take more time to clean it better before someone else rents it.National
