If you have decided that you and some friends or family are going to set off on a road trip, you might want to consider renting a minivan before using any other type of vehicle. To help you see why, you will want to keep reading.

You Get That Leg Room

One of the biggest complaints from a lot of people when it comes to a road trip is that they end up with  the legs cramped and this can cause them to be very uncomfortable, as well as irritable. That is certainly not the way you would want to start your road trip. However, this is not an issue that you would have to deal with if you and your passengers were traveling in a minivan.

You Have More Storage Room

There is a lot more space inside of a minivan that will allow you to not only carry everything you need for your vacation, but you will also have room to haul back some of the gifts that you are bound to end up with by the end of your trip. Also, there is a lot more room along the top of the vehicle should you want to strap a storage tote up there for even more room. If you  are interested in the extra tote for the top of the minivan, talk with the rental company as they may have one they can put on for you.

You Still Get Good Gas Mileage

Compared to the gas mileage that you would get if you were to rent a third row seat SUV for the extra passenger seating, you will save a lot of money. Despite the larger size, many people find that they spend about the same amount of money on gasoline as they would their standard vehicle. Therefore, you will be able to get all of the extra perks without having to deal with the extra expense.

All you really need to do now is to take a little bit of time to find the best possible minivan rental company in your area. This will ensure that you are going to get the newest and most reliable van for your trip and that if you should have any issues, the company will be fast to respond. Also, you will want to make sure that you are signing up for their insurance coverage for your rental. This way, you will be legally and financially protected in the event of an accident, even if it is small fender bender.
