3 Perks of Renting a Passenger Van

When you’re traveling as a group, you know you’re going to need a van. But instead of rolling your eyes or sighing at the thought of driving a huge 12-passenger van through NYC, let our team at Empire Rent A Car give you three reasons to get excited (or at least “okay” with the idea).

1. Elbow Room

We’re big believers that the farther you travel (or the longer you’re going to be in the car), the bigger the vehicle you need to rent. It’s easy when you’re crammed in a car—even a van—to start feeling like the walls are closing in on you. That’s enough to drive everyone mad. So opt for a bigger vehicle, perhaps a 12- or 15-passenger van, to give your passengers plenty of space.

2. Storage Capacity

The more people you have in your group, the more luggage you’re going to have to tow along. A passenger van allows space not only for your group members but also their belongings. You may even want to spread out between two passenger vans so that you don’t have to put a cap on how many bags to bring.

3. Travel Comfort

Don’t try to cram your group into a minivan. Minivans are great. We wouldn’t rent them to our customers if they weren’t. However, they’re not always the best option when you have more than six or seven adults traveling together. Save yourself and your passengers that “are we there yet?” mentality, and rent a passenger van.

At Empire Rent A Car, we have both 12- and 15-passenger vans in the traditional model. However, you may also be interested in upgrading to a Sprinter van or Metris passenger van, both of which have luxurious upgrades like leather seats, backup cameras, and more. To find out more about our passenger van options or to make a reservation, contact Empire today at (800) 750-8782, or book online.
