Drive a Econoline
The Econoline is the boxy full-size van built for people, cargo, and long hauls, sold from 1961 through the 2014 model year. Rear-wheel drive and V8 power give it a steady, old-school feel behind the wheel. If you want a Ford rental with room for the whole crew, this classic delivers.
Booking an Econoline van rental on Turo is straightforward. You book from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans — whether that's a weekend gig or moving day.

Room to roam, built in
Space is the Econoline's superpower. Cargo configurations offer 237.8–278.3 cubic feet of room, and passenger versions seat up to eight. That's space for a band's gear, a moving-day haul, or a group outing with everyone's bags on board.
V8 muscle for heavy loads
The E-350's 5.4L V8 makes 255 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, so you get steady pull with a van full of people or gear. It pairs with a four-speed automatic and sends power to the rear wheels. Some vans carry the optional 6.8L V10 instead, which bumps output to 305 hp and 420 lb-ft through a five-speed automatic.
Bringing a trailer along? The E-350 can tow up to 10,000 pounds, which opens the door to hauling equipment, a small camper, or event gear. Check the listing details before you hitch up, since setups vary from van to van. You'll feel that low-end torque most when the van is loaded to the roof.
Comfortable, connected cabin
The 2014 Econoline brings modern touches to a classic shape. Available Sync voice-activated multimedia lets you control audio by voice, and available navigation with real-time traffic helps you steer around slowdowns. Power windows, locks, and mirrors, plus standard air conditioning, keep long days on the highway comfortable.
Features vary by trim and model year, so check the listing to see what your van includes. Some vans keep things simple, while others come loaded with the tech upgrades. Either way, you get a roomy cabin where everyone has space to stretch out between stops.
Stand out with a Econoline
Few vans carry as much nostalgia as the Econoline, and its unmistakable boxy silhouette turns any outing into an occasion. It's a natural fit for group trips, moving days, events, and gear hauls — anywhere you need people and cargo in one place. Browse van rental on Turo to find the right fit for your plans.
Top Econoline features
Six decades of heritage
The Econoline stands out for its six-decade heritage, its long run as America's best-selling full-size van, and its 33-gallon tank.
The Econoline debuted for the 1961 model year, built on the underpinnings of the compact Falcon. Over the years, it also wore the E-Series and Club Wagon names, so you may hear it called any of the three. Each name points to the same idea: a big, practical van that carries whatever you throw at it.
More than 8.2 million have sold since 1961, which tells you the formula of space and simplicity stuck. When you book one, you're driving a rolling piece of American van history. It's a fun story to share with your passengers on the first leg of the trip.
America's best-selling full-size van
The Econoline led US full-size van sales from 1980 until its retirement after the 2014 model year. That's more than three decades at the top of its class. When the passenger and cargo versions bowed out, a newer generation of full-size vans took over.
The E-Series name still lives on as cutaway and stripped chassis, the foundation for shuttle buses, ambulances, and small RVs. So if you've ridden in a hotel shuttle, you may have already met its bones. Renting a passenger Econoline lets you experience the classic from the driver's seat.
Road-trip range from a 33-gallon tank
The Econoline carries a 33-gallon fuel tank, a generous capacity for a van this size. Paired with 13 mpg combined, that big tank means fewer gas station stops on long hauls. You'll spend more time moving and less time waiting at the pump.
Fill up before you leave town, especially when your route crosses long rural stretches. Keep an eye on the gauge as you load up, since a full van and a trailer can both affect fuel economy. With a little planning, you can cover serious ground between breaks.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Econoline
Get to know your Econoline
A little prep goes a long way with a classic van this size. Here's what to know before you book.
Because the Econoline is a classic, model years, trims, and configurations vary from van to van. You'll find E-150, E-250, and E-350 versions, so check the listing for seat count and cargo setup before you book.
Want something newer? A Ford Transit rental puts you in the modern van that replaced the Econoline after 2014. If you'd rather switch to an SUV, try a Ford Expedition rental or a Ford Bronco rental.
Econoline driving tips
The Econoline drives big, so give yourself extra room. A regular-length van stretches 216.7 inches and has a 48.6-foot turning diameter, so swing wide on turns and look for pull-through parking spots.
Check height clearance before you pull into a parking garage or drive-thru. It's rear-wheel drive, so ease onto the gas on wet roads. At 13 mpg, plan your fuel stops before long stretches.
How much does it cost to rent a Econoline?
Econoline rental prices on Turo are set by local vehicle owners and vary by location, dates, and trip length. Check listings for current rates in your area.
Planning a longer trip? Longer bookings can unlock discounts, and long-term car rental on Turo lets you keep a van for weeks or months.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
