Thank you to Dammy for providing such an excellent vehicle and making the whole rental process easy and stress-free. We had no issues at pickup, and communication throughout the trip was great.

The rental process went well and the host was easy to deal with. Vehicle had a missing trim and minor blemishes. It was well cared for and maintained. It fit our party well and had plenty of room. The host was super flexible with the pickup and return process. The vehicle drove well no handling issues and no issues during the trip. Will rent from them again.
The 2017 Ford Transit that we rented was nice, clean, and in very good condition. This vehicle is excellent on gas. Even with the high gas prices now, the Ford Transit ran a long ways before we had to refill on fuel. Mr. Isaiah is a very nice person with great customer service. The previous person I was renting from, vehicle was not ready at rental time. Mr Isaiah was there to save our trip!. Anyone needing a Transit vehicle, I highly recommend renting from Mr. Isaiah. I most definitely will rent from him again.

We had every seat filled and every single person was still extremely comfortable and safe!! Beautiful vehicle and the rental process could not have been any smoother.

Van rental was easy with multiple videos showing how to utilize the wheelchair strap down. Sophia was great to deal with. (5 stars) Turo website and app are TERRIBLE (0 stars) Even though I have used Turo in the past, every logon required me to call customer support to get out of Verification hell. Codes were never sent to my phone or email. Get your act together Turo!
An amazing Van rental experience without going to the counter. Renter, easily handed me the keys and the 2025 mercedes benz, it was a pleasurable experience. I most definitely will rent again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Car Rental Review – Passenger Van for California Trip We rented a passenger van for our trip to California, and it worked out perfectly for our group. Space & Comfort: The van had plenty of room for everyone to ride comfortably, with good legroom and space for our bags. It was a nice balance between not being too big to handle but still big enough to keep the group together. Driving & Performance: The van drove smoothly and handled well on both highways and city streets. It was easy to maneuver, even in tighter parking spots, and it felt safe and reliable throughout the trip. Convenience: Having one vehicle for the whole group made traveling so much easier. We could all ride together, chat, and enjoy the journey without needing multiple cars. The air conditioning kept everyone cool, and the van’s layout made long drives more comfortable. Value: Renting a van was much more affordable and convenient than trying to book separate cars. Gas mileage was decent, and the rental cost was worth the comfort and ease it gave us. Overall Experience: For group travel in California, a passenger van rental is a great choice. Comfortable, practical, and reliable—it made our trip stress-free and fun. Highly recommend!
The van was nice and clean. Pick up and Drop off was super easy!!! The PRICE was THE BEST PART!! Will be using again!!

Moving house van rental
Few things test friendships like moving day, but at least a cargo van rental can take the edge off. With more space for boxes, furniture, and that questionable futon, a van in Chicago makes relocating across town or into a new apartment far less painful.

Heading out on a family vacation to Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo or road-tripping along Lake Michigan? Passenger vans are perfect for large groups, luggage, and snack-related meltdowns. With a spacious van and extra room for strollers and coolers, everyone can pile in together instead of juggling multiple cars.

Top tips for renting a van in Chicago
Planning on booking a Chicago van rental? Whether you’re cruising down historic routes, herding the family toward the Lincoln Park Zoo, or hauling boxes across town, a few insider tips will make your trip smoother. From parking strategies to fuel stops, here’s what every renter should know before picking up the keys.
Tips for driving a van in Chicago
When you rent a van in Chicago, remember you’re not piloting a compact SUV anymore — you’re commanding a vehicle with a little more height, width, and presence. Keep an eye out for low underpasses, tight turns, and narrow lanes, especially downtown. Passenger vans like the Ford Transit or cargo vans like the Chevrolet Express handle beautifully, but giving yourself a little extra room never hurts.
What is parking a van like in Chicago?
Parking a van in Chicago can feel like a sport. Many garages downtown have height restrictions that don’t play well with taller vans, so always check clearance before pulling in. Street parking is available but competitive, and residential neighborhoods often require permits. For larger passenger vans or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, look for open lots or designated parking locations where maneuvering is easier.
How to choose the right type of van for your Chicago trip
The right vehicle type depends on your trip. For a family vacation or group travel, a passenger van rental with extra seats and luggage room is ideal. Business needs or moving days call for cargo vans that prioritize space over seats. If you’re tackling a road trip across Illinois or the wider country, a van with a comfortable vehicle and plenty of storage (like a Sprinter) will pay off in spades.
Loading a cargo van
A cargo van rental is a blank canvas — but it pays to load it wisely. Secure items with straps or blankets to prevent sliding, and leave space near the doors for anything you’ll need to grab quickly. Always check the maximum load for your vehicle, whether you’re hauling boxes for business or helping a student move into a dorm near the University of Illinois.
Gas stations and EV chargers in Chicago
Fueling up is straightforward, with gas stations scattered across the Chicago area, especially near major highways and in suburban towns. If you’re in a van that runs on diesel, don’t absentmindedly grab the wrong pump — your engine will not thank you. For eco-conscious trips, you’ll also find EV chargers downtown and along major corridors, though vehicle availability for electric vans is still more limited compared to gas and diesel.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.
To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

What rental van types are there in Chicago?
Rental van types in Chicago include passenger vans, cargo vans, and minivans — making it easy to match your trip to the right vehicle type. If you’re coordinating group travel, consider a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with space for large groups. For moving day, a Chevrolet Express or other cargo vans are your best bet. And if you just need a little extra room without going overboard, a minivan offers a spacious driving experience while keeping the budget in check.
