“Inspect the van as if you owned it at pickup to avoid being charged for damages that you did not cause. Thoroughly scan the roof, the front windshield, and the entire van. Check underneath the rear of the van for the spare tire and jack. The rental agents are trained to find incoming damage and will not be aggressive in helping you mark damage when you pick up the van.”

“Craig Says…” Do you have the proper insurance for renting vans? It’s called liability for non-owned and hired vehicles with a clause for physical damage?”

“Any vehicle with a driver will be quoted based on days, time, miles, and hours. You will waste your time, effort and energy in shopping for quotes if you do not provide the supplier with all of the pieces to the puzzle. You need the who, what, when, where, why, and how much to have access to timely, accurate quotes!”

“Never sacrifice the safety and comfort of your group just to meet your budget. Do your homework and research your chosen carrier thoroughly. Obtain a certificate of insurance listing your organization as additional insured and displaying a minimum of five million dollars in liability. Understand and factor in that one driver can drive ten hours or six hundred miles, whichever comes first. That driver must then have eight hours of sleep before being available again to drive! Don’t push the limit too hard!”
