Top Tips for Renting a Van in Pasadena
- Pasadena van rentals provide enhanced flexibility, allowing you to explore the city and nearby attractions at your own pace. Rental vans also offer convenience, especially for groups or families, with ample space for luggage and passengers. Unlike public buses or taxis, a rental van provides privacy and comfort, making it ideal for longer journeys or sightseeing trips. With a rental van, you can easily visit popular places like the Huntington Library and Gardens for its stunning art and botanical collections, or the Rose Bowl Stadium for sports events and concerts, enhancing your Pasadena experience.
- Pasadena primarily uses Bob Hope Airport (Burbank Airport – BUR) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for air travel. At Bob Hope Airport, rental vans are located at the Car Rental Center, which is accessible from the terminal by a shuttle bus. At LAX, you can find rental van services at the Rental Car Center on the lower level – you don’t require a shuttle in this case. You need a valid driver's license, a credit card, and be of a certain age, often 21 or older, for you to rent a van at any of these two airports. If you prefer getting a rental van from any of these two airports, it's wise to book in advance for availability and competitive rates.
- When driving a rental van in Pasadena, remember to watch out for jaywalkers, as pedestrian activity can be high in some areas, especially within the city center. Be prepared for diverse driving styles, from laid-back to aggressive, and exercise caution. Generally, drivers adhere to traffic rules, but some congestion is common, so plan extra time for your journeys. The permitted Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) in Pasadena, as in California, is 0.08%, so never drink and drive. Staying alert, following traffic laws, and being considerate of pedestrians are essential for a safe driving experience in the city.
- When using Pasadena van rentals, you may encounter difficulties during rush hours, particularly on weekdays from 7-9 am and 4-7 pm, when traffic congestion is common on the I-210 and I-110 freeways, impacting your travel time. Adverse weather conditions, like occasional heavy rain in January and February, can lead to slippery roads, affecting driving. It's advisable to plan accordingly, avoid peak traffic times, and check the weather forecast to ensure a smoother rental van experience in Pasadena.

Cons:
First they wanted to give me an unwashed and uncleaned car. The second car looked like somone spilled something (hopefylly not bodily fluids) on the pessenger seat. The counter agent told me that they cannot detail the car. From the outside the car was scratched, scraped, dinged, felt like a rent a wreck for half the price. It took over an hour to get the car and get on my wayThrifty

Pros:
good on gas.Cons:
Thrifty is crooked -- no business competing head to head with the majors. FALSE ADVERTISING: exact same rate minus $1 vs competitors, BUT Thrifty DOES NOT include LIABILITY like all the others (I had to pay $12day), AND Thrifty has a mileage cap -- NEITHER of which was discoverable at time of booking, no thanks KAYAK!!! My $60 2-day rental wound up costing me $127, plus $25 in lyfts going the extra distance to the branch location. I am a sucker -- don't you be too! Hertz may seem $10 or even $20 more for comparable, but it's still a deal if you're going to drive more than 100 miles per day and don't have your own car insurance. To top it all off, the crooked guy who handled the return tried to gouge me for an extra 5c per overage mile -- he pointed to excess miles at 40c/mi and i said waitaminute, it's 35. he said, "no that's what he told you..." except i hadn't said he'd told me, he was just trying to get away with it. then he said "ok, i'll put it back..." again, admitting it had been 35c until he tried to gouge me on the spot. by far the most bare-bones rental i've ever gotten, at twice the usual pice -- not even power windows or locks!!! Absolutely crooked -- BEWARE.10.0 Wonderful

At dropoff in Los vegas, they tried to overcharge me even though I had a written receipt from pick up. They wouldn't call pickup location to confirm my receipt until I made a fuss. Wouldn't apologize for the false overcharge, just said the computer made a mistake. BAD CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE!!Avis
