I like the bus idea, but we need to split the group and have our own
transportation on backroads once we get down there.

I think Budget rents big passenger vans too but they always seemed
pretty pricey when I looked at them. Have you looked into charter
buses? Not sure what they charge but if a 15 passenger van is about
$1300 a week plus mileage and fuel, plus you actually have to drive.

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.

Look for lakes around the area you intend to go like Lake

vehicle rentals in the area on their websites since much of
their customer base flys in

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.
