Top tips for renting a van in Albuquerque


Driving a van in and around Albuquerque is fun and exciting when you plan your routes ahead of time. If you've never driven a van before, it can take some getting used to, so always drive cautiously and give yourself extra space. One of the main things you should do when renting the van is check its height and width. This will help you avoid issues since some of the city's garages and overpasses have height restrictions.


What is parking a van like in Albuquerque?


Parking a rental van in Albuquerque can be a bit tricky if you don't know your vehicle’s size. That's why it's so important to double-check the vehicle's dimensions when you pick it up. You should also check your mirrors and turn slowly as you pull into a space. Make sure you pull up as far as you can so the end of the van isn’t sticking out. Anytime you pull into a lot with larger parking areas, use one of the spots. These are made specifically for oversized vehicles. Many of the city's attractions, like the ABQ BioPark and Balloon Fiesta Park, have larger parking areas for rental vans.


How to choose the right type of van for your Albuquerque trip


Your reason for traveling in and around Albuquerque is what matters most when choosing a rental van. If you're bringing a group of three or four friends to listen to live music at Launchpad, a minivan will work great. If you're visiting the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center to learn about Native Americans with a large group of students, you'll want to reserve a 15-passenger van. When coming to Albuquerque to shop with your friends from work, a luxury van will get everyone to the mall in ample comfort.


Loading a cargo van


Albuquerque’s many growing neighborhoods make a cargo van especially handy when moving furniture and belongings into a new home. No matter what you're transporting, you should always tie it down with nets, ropes, or straps to keep it from moving around as you drive. If you plan on stopping at a storage unit to unload some of the boxes, be sure to leave space so you don't have trouble accessing them. Never overload the van by exceeding its maximum load capacity. If you do, you greatly increase the risk of both damage and accidents.


Gas stations and EV chargers in Albuquerque


It’s easy to keep your rental van topped up with fuel in Albuquerque. The city has around 170 gas stations, including several with EV charging ports for electric van rentals. You can use PlugShare to find nearby charging options, which makes planning your trip around Albuquerque much easier. Each time you refuel, make sure you're using the right type; many vans run on diesel.
