Many people rent cargo vans for moving purposes, but have you considered all the other things you can use them for? Besides being a great vehicle for small moves, there are many other everyday cargo vans uses that you can work into your lifestyle. From shopping trips to small business purposes, check out all the different situations that a cargo van would be good for.
Shopping
Sometimes when you’re shopping you can get a bit carried away with the number of items you plan on buying. You may come across a great deal for a new TV or furniture set that you can’t pass up. But how do you plan on getting it home? Don’t let the lack of space in your vehicle steer you away from a great deal. Sure you could have the store ship it to your house within a week OR you can have that item in your home within a few hours by renting a cargo van.
If you already know you will be making a large purchase before you head to the store, you can make your cargo van reservation ahead of time at uhaul.com. But if you decide to buy a large item while you’re shopping in the moment, you can also make a reservation through Truck Share 24/7 and get your rental right when you need it. For just $19.95 per rental plus mileage, you’ll be able to use your new TV the same day you purchase it!
Businesses
Cargo vans are extremely useful for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re a florist who needs an extra vehicle to make deliveries for the weekend or a catering company who needs help transporting their resources to and from events daily, a cargo van can get the job done.
If you plan on needing a cargo van for an extended period of time, that’s not a problem! With a U-Haul cargo van, we always give you the best rate guarantee. So if you’re traveling a short distance, our $19.95 plus mileage rate would be the best deal for you. However, if you’re needing your rental for a longer period of time, our extended days and miles rate will adjust based on how many days you need for travel, giving you the best deal possible.
Outdoor Parties
Over the summer and spring seasons, family and friends love to get together for outdoor parties. Since the weather is warmer during these months, most of the time it’s a backyard BBQ or a party at a local park. Many people usually host these parties during Memorial Day, The Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekends. But how do you plan on getting everything you need to the party destination? A cargo van can assist you in transporting all of your things to the event. Here is a list of items you may need to bring to the party:
- Food/Drinks
- Decorations
- Chairs
- Tables
- Cooking utensils
- Coolers
- Blankets
- Trash bags
With a cargo van, you’ll be able to bring all of your party items in less trips!
As you can see, cargo vans can be used for much more than moving. There are many everyday cargo vans uses that you can implement into your life. Whether you’re renting for a few hours or a few weeks, our cargo vans are always available when you need them.
