Room for the whole crew — and everything they bring

Drive an Express 2500

A Chevy Express 2500 van rental puts you behind the wheel of a full-size, body-on-frame van built since 1996. It pairs a standard 276-hp V6 with an eight-speed automatic — a straightforward setup for people, projects, and gear. To weigh the rest of the lineup, browse Chevrolet car rental options on Turo.

On Turo, you book the exact Express 2500 you see in the listing from a local vehicle owner. Passenger layouts seat up to 10, including the driver, while regular-length cargo layouts open up 239.4 cubic feet. Check each listing's layout so you land the version that fits your plans.

Cavernous cargo space for people and gear

Space is the Express 2500's headline act. The 2500 Cargo offers 239.4 cubic feet in regular length and 283.6 cubic feet in extended form, and the 2500 Passenger delivers 218.5 cubic feet. Payload reaches up to 3,280 pounds in the 2500 Cargo — a strong case for your shortlist of cargo van rentals for moving.

Optional V8 power for full loads

If you find an Express 2500 with the optional 6.6L V8, you get 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque. That's a big step up from the standard 4.3L V6 and its 276 hp and 298 lb-ft. You'll feel the difference with every seat filled or the cargo floor stacked to the rafters (figuratively, anyway).

Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic, so highway merges stay steady and confident, even with a full load. Engines vary by van, so check the listing if V8 muscle is on your wish list — it's worth the extra minute.

Wide-opening doors for easy loading

Loading an Express 2500 is refreshingly simple. Depending on the van, you'll find a sliding side door or 60/40 swing-out side doors. The swing-outs open wide for bulky items like couches, dollies, and speaker cabinets — no awkward angles required.

Length matters, too — the Express 2500 comes with a 135-inch regular wheelbase, and Cargo models also offer a 155-inch extended wheelbase. Pick the regular length for easier parking around town, or go extended when every extra foot of floor counts. Check the listing photos to confirm the door style and length before you book.

Stand out with an Express 2500

The Express 2500 is a no-nonsense workhorse that shows up for nearly any big plan. Think moving days, band gear, event setups, ski-trip crews, and family reunions that keep everyone in one ride. Browse full-size van rentals on Turo and pick the version that fits your crew and your cargo.

Three decades of heritage

Three things set the Express 2500 apart: three decades of heritage, driver-assist you can look for, and a refreshed cabin for 2027.

The Express 2500 brings three decades of history to your trip. It arrived for the 1996 model year, replacing the brand's earlier full-size van, and it's stayed in production ever since. That's a long run for any vehicle — and a sign the formula works.

The current generation got its one major facelift for 2003, and GM sells a near-identical twin under a sister brand. The core recipe holds steady: body-on-frame construction, passenger or cargo layouts, and a clear focus on space. For you, that means a familiar, straightforward van that's easy to figure out from the first mile.

Driver-assist you can look for

Every Express 2500 comes standard with StabiliTrak and Hill Start Assist. That second one helps keep the van from rolling back when you pull away on a slope. Beyond those, you can look for available driver-assist tech that makes a big van feel more manageable.

Keep an eye out for forward collision alert, lane departure warning, Side Blind Zone Alert, a rear-vision camera, and Park Assist. They're especially handy in a van this size, where blind zones run bigger and parking takes more care. Equipment varies by listing, so check the details if any of these are must-haves for your trip.

A refreshed cabin for 2027

For 2027, the Express 2500 gets a seven-inch touchscreen running the brand's Infotainment System 3. It's a welcome update for a cabin that has long favored function over flash. You get a more modern hub right on the dash.

Booking an earlier model year? Expect a simpler radio setup, which won't slow down a moving day or a crew run (the van still does the heavy lifting). If a touchscreen matters to you, check the listing's model year and photos before you book.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Express 2500

Get to know your Express 2500

A little prep goes a long way with a van this size. Here's what to know about layouts, driving, and cost before you book.

Express 2500 rentals on Turo come in two main layouts: passenger and cargo. Passenger versions on Turo seat up to 10, including the driver, while cargo versions trade rear seats for open floor space. You'll also see a 135-inch regular wheelbase and, on Cargo models, a 155-inch extended wheelbase.

Need SUV comfort more than van-size space? Consider a Chevrolet Suburban rental or a Chevrolet Tahoe rental. For another full-size van, check out a Ford Transit rental.

Express 2500 driving tips

A full-size van asks for a bit more planning than a car. Keep these tips in mind:

Check clearance heights before you pull into parking garages or drive-thrus.
Give yourself extra room for turns and braking, especially with a full load.
Use your mirrors and the rear-vision camera, if equipped, when you change lanes or back up.
Secure your cargo, and stay within the van's rated capacity and seat-belt count.
Fill up with gasoline and budget for fuel, since the van isn't EPA-rated for mpg (the tank holds 31 gallons).
Keep everything inside the van. Towing is not permitted on Turo trips.

How much does it cost to rent an Express 2500?

The price of an Express 2500 rental on Turo depends on the model year, layout, trip length, extras, and delivery. Check the daily price and the trip total on each listing to see what you'll pay.

Longer trips can bring the price down, so look for trip-length discounts at three days, one week, two weeks, three weeks, and one month. A long-term car rental of 30 days or more suits extended projects. You can also save 10% on a non-refundable trip booked at least four days ahead.

  1. * 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.

  2. 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.
