FAQs About Renting a Van in Tacoma

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Tacoma?

    The best car you can drive among the Tacoma van rentals is the midsized van with good power and fuel consumption. The reason is that if you rent a small vehicle like a hatchback or small sedan it will not be able to keep up with the traffic on the road and might take longer to reach your destination; hence the best cars for driving in Tacoma are vans and SUVs. The best car for campers visiting Tacoma is the compact-sized Toyota, which has all the necessities for a comfortable drive, including air-conditioning and a full-blown gear set for camping.

You are required to be prudent when driving here as there can be many traffic accidents occurring here due to a lack of careful driving. Some roads are usually narrow with high traffic flow, so I would advise you to keep your car at 55 mph or lower as you don't want to risk an accident while on the road. However, the speed limit on most highways in Tacoma is 65mph, but it varies along the highways, and the speed limits are marked along the way.

  • Where are the best places to park in Tacoma?

    Before starting your excursion, the best places to park the Tacoma van rentals are at the hotels or campgrounds like South Tacoma East - 1 Park and Ride.

Even though I had a confirmation from Hertz, when I arrived at the location they specified, there was no car. The people who worked there were rude, loud, unhelpful. They told me my best option was to take an Uber 40 mins north to another location ($100 Uber ride). So not use this service! And do not if you can help it try to rent a car from Hertz in Tacoma because a reservation means 0.

I reserved a car through kayak, made plans dependent on that car, then was told an hour before picking up the car that there were no cars available. Never renting a car through Hertz or Kayak again !

I made the reservation for 12 noon on 12/16. We got there at 12:05 and the office closed at 12:00. They would not allow us to rent the car. Your website did not mention that the particular location closed at 12 pm. I should not have been able to make the reservation for 12 since they closed at 12. I was left without a car.

Overall the rental was nice, the only minor issue I had and it was probably due to high volvume, but the inside was not necessarily the cleanest but for what we needed it suffices. I usually get top notch from enterprise so I won’t fault them for this one transgression. I’d use them again
