A full-size van with room for the whole job
Drive a Savana
A GMC Savana van rental gives you full-size cargo space, an available V8, and up to 10,000 lbs of towing. It's the van you book when the job won't fit in an SUV.
The GMC Savana is a full-size, rear-wheel-drive van with a standard V6, an available V8, and an eight-speed automatic. Browse more GMC rental options if you're weighing your choices.
On Turo, you book your Savana from a local vehicle owner. You arrange pickup or delivery on Turo, so the van meets you where your plans start.

Available V8 power for big jobs
The available 6.6L V8 makes 401 hp and 464 lb-ft, well above the standard 4.3L V6's 276 hp and 298 lb-ft. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic, and Tow/Haul mode helps when you're pulling or carrying serious weight. Pick the V8 when the load is heavy and the trip is long — the V6 handles lighter work.
Cavernous cargo space
The Savana Cargo offers up to 283.6 cu ft of cargo volume in its extended-wheelbase form. That's room for a studio apartment's worth of boxes, a full set of trade show displays, or cases of product for your shop.
You'll find two wheelbases: 135 in on the regular van and 155 in on the extended version. The longer wheelbase adds floor length for bulky items like sofas, ladders, and lumber. Payload reaches up to 4,280 lbs on the 3500 model, so dense loads like tools, tile, and equipment cases stay within reach. Check the listing to see which wheelbase and model you're booking — it shapes how much you can carry.
Wide-opening doors for easy loading
Getting cargo in and out matters as much as fitting it. The Savana offers available 60/40-split side doors, so you can open one panel for quick grabs or both for wide items. At the back, swing-out rear doors open the full width of the cargo area.
That combination lets you load from the curb or the rear, depending on where you've parked. Slide a dresser in through the back, then tuck smaller boxes in from the side. On a moving day with tight street parking, two loading points save trips and keep your back happy. Ask yourself which door you'll use most, then plan your stacking order before the first box goes in.
Stand out with a Savana
A Savana fits the jobs most vehicles can't: apartment moves, event gear, band equipment, group trips, and small-business hauling. Load amps and drum cases for a weekend of gigs, or haul tables and linens to a wedding venue. Small-business owners can cover a busy week of deliveries, and groups can travel together within the van's seating limit. Compare more van rentals on Turo to find the right fit.
Top Savana features
Serious towing capability
The Savana's best features center on towing, stability, and range. Here's what stands out once you're behind the wheel.
The Savana Cargo tows up to 10,000 lbs when equipped with the V8. That covers a sizable trailer for equipment, a car on a hauler, or a loaded utility trailer for a cross-town move.
Tow/Haul mode adjusts how the transmission shifts, helping the van manage heavy loads. Grade Braking works with it on downhill stretches, holding lower gears so you lean less on the brakes. The van carries a maximum gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 16,000 lbs, which accounts for the van, its cargo, passengers, and trailer together. Before you hitch up, confirm the listing's engine and towing setup with the details on the Turo listing page — towing numbers depend on configuration.
Stability and driver-assist tech
A big van needs steady manners, and the Savana brings them. StabiliTrak helps keep the van on your intended path when traction or steering gets tricky, which matters with a tall, loaded cargo area.
Hill start assist briefly holds the brakes when you start on an incline. That gives you a moment to move your foot from brake to gas without rolling back, handy with a heavy load. Optional blind-spot alert and forward collision warning are available on some trims. They add an extra set of eyes around a van this size. Check the listing to see which driver-assist tech your Savana includes before you book.
Built for long hauls
The Savana's 31-gallon fuel tank means fewer gas station stops on a long day of driving. That's a real advantage when you're moving across state lines or driving to a multi-day event with a full load.
Rear-wheel drive puts power to the back wheels, a classic layout for work vans that carry weight over the rear axle. You also get a choice of engines: the standard V6 for lighter loads and everyday errands, or the available V8 for towing and heavy hauling. Match the engine to the trip — a long tow with a full cargo area calls for the V8. Read the listing details to confirm which engine you're getting.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Savana
Get to know your Savana
Know the van's size, configuration, and seating before you book. A few quick checks make the trip easier from pickup to drop-off.
The Savana comes in two lengths: a 135-in regular wheelbase and a 155-in extended wheelbase. The extended van takes up noticeably more room in parking spots and tight lots.
Configurations vary by listing. Cargo versions seat two, or five with an optional second row, while passenger and conversion vans trade cargo room for seats. On Turo, a Savana seats up to 10 people, including the driver. For a family trip that doesn't need van-size cargo room, a GMC Yukon rental may suit you better.
Savana driving tips
Drive a Savana with its size in mind. These habits help you handle a full-size van with confidence:
Take wider turns, since the van's length means the rear wheels cut inside your path. Adjust both side mirrors before you leave, and check them often when changing lanes. Watch height clearance at parking garages, drive-thrus, and low overhangs. Secure your load with straps or tie-downs so cargo doesn't shift under braking. Use Tow/Haul mode whenever you're towing or carrying a heavy load. Leave extra braking distance when the van is loaded, since it needs more room to stop.
How much does it cost to rent a Savana?
The cost to rent a Savana depends on location, trip dates, and trim, since local vehicle owners set their own prices. Some offer weekly or monthly discounts, which can lower your daily rate on longer trips. Planning a multi-week project or a long move? Explore long-term car rental options on Turo.
