Thank you to Dammy for providing such an excellent vehicle and making the whole rental process easy and stress-free. We had no issues at pickup, and communication throughout the trip was great. Dammy was also very accommodating when we needed to extend our rental for an extra hour, which we really appreciated. The van fit all 12 passengers comfortably along with all of our luggage, making it perfect for our trip. Everything was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Definitely a 5-star experience, and we would gladly rent again in the future.
Easy to find at the airport, faster than the rental counter, large car at a reasonable price.
The cargo van was excellent and exactly what I needed. It was clean, well-maintained, reliable, and made my job much easier. The host was professional, responsive, and the pickup and drop-off process was smooth and hassle-free. I would definitely rent this van again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable cargo van rental. Great experience from start to finish!
The rental process went well and the host was easy to deal with. Vehicle had a missing trim and minor blemishes. It was well cared for and maintained. It fit our party well and had plenty of room. The host was super flexible with the pickup and return process. The vehicle drove well no handling issues and no issues during the trip. Will rent from them again.
The 2017 Ford Transit that we rented was nice, clean, and in very good condition. This vehicle is excellent on gas. Even with the high gas prices now, the Ford Transit ran a long ways before we had to refill on fuel. Mr. Isaiah is a very nice person with great customer service. The previous person I was renting from, vehicle was not ready at rental time. Mr Isaiah was there to save our trip!. Anyone needing a Transit vehicle, I highly recommend renting from Mr. Isaiah. I most definitely will rent from him again.
Absolutely made our trip!! We had friends visiting from out of town and the van was the perfect addition to ensure we could all go places together. We had every seat filled and every single person was still extremely comfortable and safe!! Beautiful vehicle and the rental process could not have been any smoother.
Chris was great to work with. Easy communication and reliable. Would rent again. Van rental was great, no issues whatsoever.
We rented the 15-passenger Mercedes Sprinter Van for a weekend trip from Seattle to Wenatchee for the Rufus Du Sol concerts at Gorge Amphitheatre (Jun.5-7), and it was absolutely perfect. With a group of 15 friends traveling together, comfort and reliability were a huge priority, and this van exceeded all expectations. The Sprinter was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable for the drive. There was plenty of room for everyone and our belongings, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. The vehicle drove smoothly, had excellent fuel efficiency for its size, and made the entire experience feel more like a luxury road trip than a rental. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and the communication throughout the rental process was outstanding. Having everyone travel together added so much to the weekend, and the Sprinter became part of the experience itself. Between the winery stop, the concerts, and all the memories made along the way, this rental helped make an unforgettable weekend even better. Highly recommend to anyone planning a group trip, concert weekend, wedding shuttle, wine tour, or special event. We’ll definitely be renting again! 10/10 experience. Thank you for helping make our Rufus Du Sol weekend one to remember! 🎶🚐✨
If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! My entire experience was a 10/10 from start to finish. Booking was simple, pickup was smooth, and even arranging a later drop-off was incredibly easy. Mr. KC was friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We rented the van for a family road trip to Silverwood in Idaho, and everything went perfectly. The van was clean, spacious, comfortable, and gave us zero issues throughout our trip. I highly recommend booking with Mr. KC if you ever need a van rental. Excellent customer service and a great overall experience!
Excellent experience! The van was clean, comfortable, and ready when promised. The rental process was quick and easy, and the UG was friendly and professional. I would definitely rent from him again.
We rented this 2014 Ford Econoline for two days while our cruise ship was in Kauaʻi, and it worked out perfectly for our group of 10. The van was exactly what we needed to explore the island comfortably and gave us the flexibility to see much more than we could on a ship excursion. Communication with the host was excellent throughout the rental process. Pickup and drop-off were easy, and the location was convenient for cruise passengers. There is parking available near the pier for about $20, which made logistics simple. The van was reliable, spacious, and a great value for a larger group. We would definitely rent from this host again on a future visit to Kauaʻi. Highly recommended!
The van was super helpful with our trip with all of our friends. The service was super nice and easy. I would recommend this van rental business to all my friends who need a van in Vegas.
Nick was an excellent host! The 2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It was the perfect vehicle for celebrating my sister’s birthday weekend, giving us plenty of space and a smooth ride throughout our trip. Communication was great, and the entire rental process was easy from start to finish. Highly recommend renting from Nick!
Van rental was easy with multiple videos showing how to utilize the wheelchair strap down. Sophia was great to deal with. (5 stars) Turo website and app are TERRIBLE (0 stars) Even though I have used Turo in the past, every logon required me to call customer support to get out of Verification hell. Codes were never sent to my phone or email. Get your act together Turo!
This van helped make our family reunion especially for our elderly relatives so much more memorable! At one time I had my mother, my two brothers, our wives and our children all in one vehicle. It will be a week we will never forget. I want to always work with you anytime I need to rent a van like this! Thank you!!

Top tips for renting a van in New York City
As great as New York City is, driving here is challenging. Potholes, heavy traffic, constant honking, and numerous pedestrians are just a few things you have to navigate. Whether you're visiting for a day or you're here for longer, preparation is crucial to make the most of your trip.
If you're not used to driving a larger vehicle, it's a good idea to practice before arriving in NYC. There's very little room for error, especially while making tight turns. Pay attention to all parking signs to avoid getting a ticket or having the van towed.
What is parking a van like in New York City?
Parking in many areas of NYC requires serious patience. Once you find a legal spot, take your time pulling in. Chances are it'll be a tight fit. Make sure to also know the dimensions of the van in case you decide to enter a parking garage instead of doing street parking.
How to choose the right type of van for your New York City trip
Choosing the right type of van largely depends on your needs while visiting New York City. For example, if you're touring with some friends, a passenger van is a great option. If you're here for a gig and toting band equipment, a cargo van is ideal, especially compared to hauling everything on the subway.
Loading a cargo van
One of the most important tips for loading or unloading a van in NYC is to first check that you're not in a "No Standing" zone. While you can drop off or pick up passengers, you can't do anything else without risking a ticket.
Are there toll roads in New York City?
New York City has bridge and tunnel tolls. Visit the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) "Bridges and Tunnels tolls" page for more information about current rates.
Gas stations and EV chargers in New York City
There are plenty of gas stations and EV chargers throughout the metropolitan area, but there aren't many of either in Manhattan. Use specialized apps during your visit to help pinpoint where both are in relation to your current location.
Do I need to rent a van in New York City?
Booking a rental van in New York City can be a good idea if you want to avoid public transportation, ride shares, and taxis. It's also beneficial if you need to transport items or want to visit major cities that are a short drive away. You have the freedom and flexibility to do things on your time and schedule.
