Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Palm Springs
- Palm Springs van rents offer enhanced convenience to those coming for a vacation in the city with family, friends, or colleagues. These vans can accommodate more than five people and have adequate space for the baggage. Compared to the buses and trains, which are the other alternative means of transport, having a rental van comes with the flexibility in choosing the routes you can follow and the convenient departure time. If you would like to have an exciting hiking experience while in the city, Araby Trail should top the list of places you should visit. You can conveniently store your hiking equipment and other personal items in the van.
- If you are arriving in Palm Springs via Palm Springs International Airport (PSP), you will have hassle-free access to car rental offices from where you can rent your preferred van model. All the Palm Springs van rentals, including Enterprise, Dollar, Alamo, Thrifty, Budget, Avis, and National, have their desks at the baggage claim area. This is at a walkable distance from any of the terminals, which eliminates the need to use a shuttle.
- While driving in Palm Springs, it is good to remember that the use of turn signals is almost an optional thing among most drivers. This means the driver in front of you can make a turn at any time without indicating to you. Therefore, it is not advisable to tailgate any vehicle whether you are driving within the central business district belt or in downtown Palm Springs. You need to watch out for pedestrians who commonly jaywalk to avoid hitting any.

Cons:
The reservation agent charged me two extra hours (almost a full day's rate, three hours would have been a full day's rate). I was unaware I was a little more than an hour early, I had made the reservation a month and a half ago. When I noticed the total amount was more than what was on my reservation paperwork I was told it was because I was early. When I said I could go have lunch and come back in an hour the agent replied she's already opened the reservation and couldn't change it now. She said she could only cancel the reservation and that I'd be free to make a new one. This was during the covid car shortage and they were turning away people due to the shortage of cars and the cars that were available were renting at a premium. I know canceling a reservation is not the only option unless it is a new company top down policy.8.0 Very Good

Pros:
Staff were fine, drop off easyCons:
We did not get the car we asked for--the alternative was too small for our needs. And, I felt ripped off by all the extra fees, etc. Based on the "advertised" Kayak price, we should have paid much less buying making an advance deposit. The fees drove up the total significantly. Net, most likely will not use a third party again for car rental.10.0 Wonderful

They didn’t have the type of car we reserved (suv) and gave us a 4 door chevy. It fit us fine but wasn’t the size we’d reserved. Also, the car had a big dent and scratch along the back side which looked a little crappy driving it around Palm Springs.8.0 Very Good
