Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Boulder

  • Boulder van rentals make it easy for the family to travel together while on vacation. They are also a fun way to travel to sporting events or business conferences as a group. If you’re in Boulder and don’t have your own transportation, your travel will be limited. This is because their bus system only operates in the city proper. You cannot take it to popular ski towns or hiking areas, such as Eldora Ski Town (about 21 miles away) or Wonderland Lake Trailhead (about 10 minutes away). Booking a Boulder van rental will let you see all this scenic city and beyond.
  • If you’re looking to rent a van near Downtown Boulder, there are offices for Thrifty, Budget, and Avis on 49th Street, just under 2 miles from the heart of the city. Farther away from downtown, at the Meadows Shopping Center on Baseline Road, Avis has a car rental office. An Enterprise office is just off the Colorado State Highway 7 on Arapahoe Avenue.
  • As with many larger cities, people in Boulder tend to live outside the city and commute to downtown for work. This can make for heavy traffic during peak travel hours (or rush hours). In Boulder, traffic tends to get busy in the morning at around 6:30 am and slows down at about 9 am. Returning home from school or work can also cause traffic backup. This starts at around 4 pm and continues until around 6 pm. The main highways are the busiest roads, including Colorado State Highway 7, Highway 119, and Highway 36. It would be smart to avoid the highways during rush hours.
  • Snow is common in Boulder in the winter months. If you’re going to enjoy Boulder van rentals during this season, you should know a few things. First, make sure that your van rental has a snow brush and ice scraper in the back seat. It is important to keep your windshield and windows free of snow and ice for better visibility. When the road is covered in snow, always allow more space between you and the car in front of you. This gives you more room to stop. Finally, check the forecast often, and don’t travel far if a snowstorm is expected.
  • 25% of our users found a people carrier hire in Boulder for $207 or less
  • Book your people carrier hire in Boulder at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • January is typically the cheapest month to hire a van in Boulder, with prices around $117 per day. The most expensive month is July, with average prices of $239 per day.

FAQs About Hiring a Van in Boulder

  • What Boulder van rental is best if I have a large family?

    Some passenger vans are smaller and seat only seven to eight people. However, larger vans like the Chevrolet Express or the Ford Transit can comfortably fit twelve to fifteen people. The Ford Transit is designed for safety and comfort. It has a blind spot assist, built-in navigation, and power sliding doors, which make it easy to get in and out of this van. The Chevrolet Express also has numerous safety and comfort features, including a rear park assist, a rear vision camera, and plenty of head space and legroom for a comfortable ride.

  • Where is the best place to park my van rental in Boulder?

    Finding parking for your Boulder van rental should not be difficult. Parking on the street is convenient if you’re making a quick stop at an ice cream or coffee shop. It is free for the first 15 minutes and about $2/hour after that. There are parking meters where you can pay, or you can use the parking app. There is a three-hour limit for street parking, so if you plan to walk around downtown and be there for several hours, you might park in a parking garage. Parking in a garage will cost you about $15 for the day.

  • What are the requirements to rent a van in Boulder?

    To rent a van in Boulder, you will have to hold a valid driver’s license. An international driving permit might be required if you're from another country. In addition to your driver’s license, you will need a passport (if you’re a foreigner) and a credit card. The minimum age for a Boulder van rental is typically 21 years old. However, some agencies might only rent a van to you if you’re 25 or older.

  • How does KAYAK find such low van hire prices?

Pros:

Drop off was super easy and I got an even better car than I expected.

Cons:

The all fees including the deposit should have been included in my reservation details. The location I was originally supposed to pick the car up from was closed and I only found a bit before I was supposed to pick the car up.

Anonymous, Oct 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff was friendly just understaffed not enough help. Your employee had to attempt to clean cars, rent cars, fill cars with gas at another location. How can hertz justify one employee to do all those jobs and not be able to attend to customers in a timely manner. The car had just returned from Florida wasn’t cleaned to covid standards. There was dry dirt prints on the seats from a dog being in the vehicle. Wasn’t wiped down properly. If you have covid standards then they are not being met! This employee is doing the best he can with all these jobs and hats put on him. I don’t fault your employee I fault hertz corporate rent a car for the sub standards. I don’t know about the higher ups but when I spend $353.00 of my money to rent your car I expect a clean car the outside had bug kill in the hood and windshield. I am disappointed in this transaction and hope you take this into account how you handle your rental business in the future!

Cons:

The car could have been cleaned inside and out that isn’t a far fetched expectation.

I was able to make an appointment to pick up my rental on a Saturday at 2pm. I arrived to find out the office closes at 2pm. The agent told me I was out of luck, made no effort to help remedy the situation, offered no assistance whatsoever; even told me that his system shuts off at 2, while he was finishing checking out a previous customer while it was getting close to 2:10. When I called budget, the customer service rep didn’t help search much of the surrounding areas for another location with the same vehicle, so I ended up having to go to the Denver airport rental office, effectively adding four hours to my rental pickup, and adding cost to the reservation, which the Budget rep refused to waive.

I left my jacket and went back to pick it up the next day and the gunnison budget team informed me they didn’t clean the car and rented it out again so my jacket is lost wherever the next driver took it.

Pros:

Nothing. Representative was extremely rude on both pick up and drop off. High pressure sales tactics for extra insurance, add ons and lied about the available vehicles. Wanted to charge me extra for " the only available car" being above the tier I paid for.

Cons:

Absolutely everything! Rude service.
