Rented 2 SUVs from this company last week for the first time, and wish I’d known about this company earlier. The entire rental process is good.

It was fantastic to deal with. The staff was in direct contact with us when we landed and texted us directions to the parking. The vehicle itself was exactly what was ordered and was in fantastic shape.

We have rented twice from this Car Rental and highly recommend their services. They are responsive when you have questions and the cars have been in excellent condition.

This car rental is the only way to rent a vehicle if you are traveling. The process was hassle-free, with no waiting in lines, or trying to get your family and luggage on a shuttle.

A cargo van is also known as a panel van or a shell van. It seats only two people and has an empty shell for storage, etc, in the rear of the vehicle. There are only two seat belts in the vehicle so only two passengers are allowed.

I don’t have a Carl’s near me – when will you have one where I live?

Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 29, 2020
Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 29, 2020

Carl’s is expanding throughout the Southeast United States currently. Our goal is to be able to provide the services you need at a fair price while offering the outstanding customer service that we are known for!

Why should I rent with Carl’s?

Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 29, 2020
Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 29, 2020

We have been in business since 1994. We have since expanded to cover most major cities in the Southeast. Since our doors opened, we have been serving a full range of customers including church groups, sports teams (all ages and levels of talent), government, and thousands of families traveling together. We deal exclusively in vans. Vans are what we know and vans are what we do. We carry a range of vans starting as low as a seven passenger minivan all the way up to our luxury 15 passenger minibuses. We do not overbook, and we never cancel reservations. Rest assured, when you rent with Carl’s, your reservation is guaranteed!

I don’t live in the US, what should I know?

Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 29, 2020
Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 29, 2020

If you do not possess a driver’s license AND insurance from the United States or Canada, you will be required to purchase one of our Collision Damage Waiver Coverages and Supplemental Liability Insurance. As an alternative, you may purchase these coverages from another source, but you must demonstrate proof of this coverage at the time of rental.

Why does Carl’s require proof of insurance?

Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 30, 2019
Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 30, 2019

Due to the nature of the type of vehicles that we offer, primary liability coverage is required of all of our customers. This is our insurance department’s requirement for all customers renting vehicles with us. This also allows us to qualify our customers as responsible drivers. You may elect to purchase extended coverage from either Carl’s or an alternative source, but all of our customers must have and demonstrate proof of primary liability coverage. Please check with your insurance company to ensure that your coverage will extend to the type of vehicle that you are renting from us as not all insurance companies provide coverage for the types of vehicles that we rent.

Why does Carl’s require a deposit?

Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 30, 2019
Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 30, 2019

We require a deposit for two reasons- When you book your vehicle, we assign your reservation a vehicle from our fleet – this makes that vehicle non-rentable to anyone else during the period that you have reserved. This ensures that we have a vehicle for you. Second, the deposit is to ensure that you will be renting the vehicle. Other car rental companies have a very high “No Show” percentage which forces overbooking or canceling reservations to account for that problem. Since we assign a unit at the time of reservation, we do not have that issue. This is especially a problem during peak travel seasons. This way you are guaranteed your vehicle with your deposit. Please review our reservation and cancelation policies for more information.

Does Carl’s accept cash or checks?

Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 30, 2019
Carl's Van Rentals | Sep 30, 2019

We do accept cash. However, in order to rent with cash, we require verifiable full coverage automobile insurance (your own – you cannot purchase this from us) along with a deposit of $500 (cash or on a debit or credit card). Please review our cash policies for more details. The same policy applies when paying with a check. We accept only company checks, no handwritten or personal checks will be accepted.

If I rent a van for one evening, can I park my vehicle in the lot?

Not the best neighborhood either.
