Yes, Enterprise 15 passenger van is 600 included miles and $0.35/mile over.

Hertz minivan was unlimited mileage, but was more expensive to start with, so they are almost the exact same price after figuring mileage. (And we'd need 3 minivans vs 2 15 passenger)

I'm guessing the rental places are all about the exact same price, just finding someone with inventory is the trick. I did talk to my local Enterprise office, but all they can do is what the computer says.

I might have found a local Box Truck rental place that has passenger vans. Their rental price is cheaper, but the per mile charge is higher. Looks like it's still pretty equivalent though.

My experiences with a commercial van rental company (can’t remember the name of the company, as it was over 20 years ago) was that my first wife booked it, and didn’t properly read the contract, so after our 2000 mile long vacation, she got stuck with a ridiculous mileage rate for everything over 1000 miles. Since this was a trip from Austin to Leadville, Colorado, with lots of sightseeing, that ended up being about 1000-1200 miles over.

Your trip looks to be about 900 miles per direction, so you definitely need to read the fine print!!

We need to rent vans in Chicago and drive to the South Carolina area.

        I'm looking to rent a couple passenger vans to take the church
        kids on a
        trip this summer.  Enterprise has no Vans, since they have a
        contract
        with Fedex/Amazon who's depleted their van fleet, and they
        can't get new
        vehicles like everyone else.  They claim to not even have
        mini-vans
        available for rental right now.  I supposedly have a
        reservation for 1
        15 passenger Van, but we've been burned by Enterprise in past
        years when
        we go to pick it up, they'll not actually have a van and try to
        substitute 2 5 passenger SUV's instead.

        Hertz want's you to use their online booking site, which is
        setup for
        single vehicle rentals, not multiples, and they only have
        Minivans.
        Using the website Chat seems like they just look at the same
        webpage you
        do.

        Am I missing any obvious places for commercial passenger van
        rental?
        There was a movie shoot around here over the summer, they
        probably
        brought in 50 or 60 12 passenger vans to haul people from
        parking to the
        set, but no rental companies label them anymore to see where
        they were
        from.
