Top Tips for Renting a Van in Rapid City

  • The Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP) is situated about 9 miles to the southeast of Rapid City. At this small but convenient airport, you'll be able to spot the car rental agencies in the Arrivals Terminal near the baggage claim conveyor belts. Agencies represented at RAP include Hertz, Budget, National, Alamo, Avis, and Enterprise. All these car rental agencies have Rapid City van rentals available in their fleets of rental vehicles. Once you have collected your rental van at RAP, it is just a quick drive of about 20 minutes into Downtown Rapid City.
  • To drive Rapid City van rentals north into Canada, you must first get permission from the car rental company. If you travel internationally in a rental car without permission, your rental contract becomes void, meaning that you will have to pay out of pocket for any damage or injury that occurs while you are driving in Canada. Furthermore, one of the documents you need to cross into Canada is a Canadian non-resident card, which proves that you have the insurance to drive. This card is free, but you must get it from the car rental agency. You will need to present it when you cross the border, along with your passport and driver's license.
  • For those driving Rapid City van rentals between November and March, keep in mind that winters can be quite cold and snowy in Rapid City. Rapid City and the surrounding Black Hills have a much greater snowfall than the national average and temperatures are often freezing. Therefore, when you are driving Rapid City van rentals in the winter, give yourself extra travel time to not only drive more slowly, but to clear your car of snow and ice and allow your windows time to defrost before you even begin driving.
  • To rent a van in Rapid City, you need to be at least 18 years old. However, some rental agencies will not rent to someone until they are 21 years old. Also, many rental agencies will rent to you when you're younger than 25, but they will charge you an extra daily fee for being a young renter. If you are younger than 25, especially if you are younger than 21, you should check around among car rental agencies in Rapid City to find one that will rent to you and to find the lowest extra fees possible.
  • 25% of our users found a van rental in Rapid City for $107 or less
  • Book your van rental in Rapid City at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • January is typically the cheapest month to rent a van in Rapid City, with prices around $76 per day. The most expensive month is July, with average prices of $130 per day.

Apr 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The ease of pick up.

Cons:

I rented a car two weeks ago to see my elderly mother in the hospital. A week later I had to return for her funeral as she passed away. The price of the rental was three times higher than it was when I rented from them the week before. The car was also dirty, and was definitely not cleaned to COVID standards. I had arrived late at night, so I did not have time to see the inside of the car until the next morning. I called the Hertz 1-800 number and they told me it was a Hertz Licensee Rental location and I would have to call the local number. I called and they told me the rates had gone up in the last week (almost 60%!?). Hertz also said they did not have a bereavement policy. On the call, I told the employee about the car being dirty and he said they would check into it. I never received a call back from Hertz. When I returned the car on April 17 two employees were behind the counter. They told me the same thing about the price increase, and when I told them about the interior of the car being dirty they both said "oh I know who that was". Evidently, there had been several complaints recently regarding the cleanliness of their cars, and all the complaints had been cleaned by the same employee. I continued my check out and left to catch my flight home. I would like to thank the two employees who checked me out as they both told me their condolences. They were also helpful in making notes in the computer regarding my complaint. I do realize there was nothing they could do, as neither was the owner.

Cons:

Truck was well used and could have been cleaner inside. Inside had an odor to it. Alamo must have acquired this truck used and put it into service. I had a new Ford four door pickup rented from Hertz the week before and it was great. I thought I was getting a better deal with Alamo on the trip.

Vehicle was filthy when I picked it up, I never got a receipt when I checked out and very disorganized process for renting. Keys lying all over the counter and staff acts like it’s their first day on the job trying to find your records and navigate the computer. Also pricing was not what was quoted on website.

Pros:

The car was a very smooth ride and drove very well. Was very handy to have the two extra seats in the back that made it comfortable for 6.

Cons:

They were not very good at explaining all the extra charges associated with the insurance and gas options which cause my rental to wind up being almost double the original quoted price.

Cons:

There was a mileage limit that was so low that I would not be able to complete my planned activities. They were quite willing to sell me a higher mileage rate, but the original mileage restriction was not advertised (to my recollection), so I did not have an option but to add this fee. If I had this knowledge sooner I may have reserved with a different company.
