Drive a Econoline Cargo
The Econoline Cargo is a full-size, body-on-frame, rear-wheel-drive American van that ran for decades until 2014. A Ford Econoline Cargo van rental puts a classic among Ford rental options in your hands, built to haul big loads without fuss. After the 2014 model year, the Transit took over as its successor.
Booking is simple. On Turo, you book your Econoline Cargo from a local vehicle owner, then arrange pickup or delivery in the app.

Muscle for the heavy lifting.
The Econoline Cargo pulls hard, thanks to V8 and V10 engine options. Power runs 225–305 hp, with up to 420 lb-ft of torque from the 6.8L V10. That same E-350 V10 setup tows up to 10,000 lbs, so a loaded trailer won't leave you sweating.
Cavernous cargo space
You get 237.8 cu ft of cargo space in the regular-length van and 278.3 cu ft in the extended version. That's room for moving boxes, trade tools, or a full day of deliveries. Either way, you load once and skip the extra trips.
The open bay makes loading straightforward (no third row to fold, no seats to remove). Slide in the mattress, stack the dressers, and fill the gaps with boxes or event gear. Pick the extended version when every extra cubic foot counts.
Simple, proven mechanicals
The Econoline Cargo keeps things simple with a four-speed automatic, rear-wheel drive, and a 33-gallon fuel tank. It's a straightforward setup you'll get the hang of fast.
The automatic means no clutch work in stop-and-go traffic, even with a full load. That 33-gallon tank means fewer fuel stops on long delivery days or cross-state moves (handy when you're racing the clock to an apartment handoff). Fill up once, and you can focus on the job instead of the next gas station.
Stand out with a Econoline Cargo
The Econoline Cargo shines when you've got more stuff than a car can carry. It's a natural pick for apartment moves, small-business deliveries, event or band gear, and furniture pickups. Browse cargo van rentals on Turo to compare options and match the van to the job.
Top Econoline Cargo features
Five decades of heritage
The Econoline Cargo ran from 1961 to 2014, a production run of more than five decades. After 2014, the Transit stepped in as its successor, which makes the Econoline a true classic in the cargo world.
That long run matters for you as a guest. Generations of movers, tradespeople, and small-business owners have relied on this van, so its layout feels familiar the moment you climb in. You get a proven shape, a big cargo bay, and a reputation earned one load at a time.
Choose your capacity
The Econoline Cargo came in E-150, E-250, and E-350 versions, so you can match the van to the load. The E-350 Super Duty handles up to about 4,050 lbs of payload.
Lighter jobs, like a dorm move or a sofa pickup, leave plenty of headroom, while the E-350 suits stacks of tools, equipment, or inventory. Capacity varies by vehicle, so check the listing to see which version you're booking. Knowing your load ahead of time keeps your day on schedule and keeps you within the van's limits.
A two-seat work cabin
The Econoline Cargo seats two, with a wide-open cargo bay behind them. It's built for one driver and one helper, and everything else goes in the back.
With no rear seats taking up space, you get open floor from the cabin to the rear doors. Bring a friend to help lift, navigate, and spot you while backing up. If you're moving more people than cargo, a passenger-focused vehicle fits better, but for hauling, two seats and a big bay are hard to beat.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Econoline Cargo
Get to know your Econoline Cargo
The Econoline Cargo rides on a 138-in wheelbase (on the E-150) with rear-wheel drive, so give it room to turn and park. Listing details vary by vehicle, so check the engine, length, and version before you book.
Want something newer? A Ford Transit rental gets you the Econoline's successor. For people instead of boxes, a Ford Expedition rental seats passengers comfortably, and a Ford Bronco rental adds personality to a weekend getaway.
Econoline Cargo driving tips
Drive the Econoline Cargo with its size in mind. Take turns wide, lean on your mirrors, and leave extra room to stop.
The long body needs more space to swing through corners and into parking spots, so check your side mirrors often. A heavy load adds stopping distance, so brake earlier than you would in a car. Plan fuel around the 13/16 mpg city/hwy rating, especially on longer hauls.
How much does it cost to rent a Econoline Cargo?
The cost of a Ford Econoline Cargo van rental varies by location, dates, and vehicle, so check listings near you for current rates. Trip discounts on longer bookings can lower your total, and a long-term car rental can stretch your budget further.
Is it cheaper to rent a car or a van? It depends on the job. If you're hauling a big load, one trip in a cargo van can replace several trips in a car, saving you time and fuel.
