Cheap Cargo Van & Moving Truck Hire in Brooklyn
Top Tips for Hiring a Cargo Van in Brooklyn
- Brooklyn cargo van rentals are a great way to move heavy personal or business items when in town. You can find cargo van rentals of different brands at affordable rates from popular rental agencies in the city. The main benefit of cargo van rentals is the control it gives you over your goods. You can control how they are packaged and handled, and the delivery time.
- The closest airports to fly into when traveling to Brooklyn are John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and La Guardia Airport (LGA). JFK is about 11 miles from Brooklyn, while LGA is about nine miles away. Most travelers will arrive at JFK, the main airport receiving flights to Brooklyn. You can find rental services near the baggage claim of each arrivals terminal. Some of the providers at JFK include Avis, Dollar, Enterprise, Alamo, and Hertz. The car rental center at LGA is a short ride from the terminals, and a free airport shuttle picks up renters at all terminal exits. SIXT, Payless, and National are some popular providers at LGA.
- The traffic in Brooklyn is not as bad as in other boroughs in New York. However, this is not to say that you should not expect rush hours. Rush hour starts at 6:30 am and runs until 8 am, and then again from 4 pm to 5 pm. The major traffic point during rush hour is the Brooklyn Bridge, so avoid this route at all costs during rush hours. Congestion is common on Prospect Expressway, Linden Boulevard, Interstate 27B, and Avenue P.
- It is easy to maneuver Brooklyn cargo van rentals like a local while in town. The grid layout is simple, with streets running east to west and avenues from south to north. The city experiences bitter winters, which make it difficult to drive. We recommend equipping your cargo van with snow tires to ensure safety. Rental agencies can provide you with snow tires at a small extra charge. Also, be careful where you park, as almost the entire city is a tow-away zone. You can easily get towed if you violate any parking rules.
FAQs About Hiring a Cargo Van in Brooklyn
What are the best locations to rent cargo vans in Brooklyn?
Downtown Brooklyn and Boerum Place HLE are some suitable locations for renting cargo vans. JFK and LGA are busy airports, so you will encounter long lines here. To save time, rental agencies like Enterprise and Avis have free shuttle services from the airport to an off-site location, like downtown, where you can rent your cargo van. The downtown locations have fast rental processing periods due to the lack of long lines. Enterprise and Avis can be found downtown, while Hertz has an office at Boerum Place.
What are the requirements for renting cargo vans in Brooklyn?
The minimum age for acquiring Brooklyn cargo van rentals is 21 years. However, renters below 25 will incur a daily surcharge of around $30. A valid driver’s license and debit or credit card with matching names are essential during renting. If using debit cards, you also require proof of return through an airline ticket and utility bill dated no more than 30 days. Credit cards widely acceptable include Mastercard, Visa, and American Express.
Are there toll roads in Brooklyn?
Yes, expect to encounter tolls while driving Brooklyn cargo van rentals in the city. There is a toll tunnel and toll bridge. Only one of the four bridges connecting Brooklyn to surrounding cities requires tolls. Verrazano-Narrows Bridge linking Brooklyn to Staten Island is the tolled bridge to expect. The Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, which connects the city to the south of Manhattan, is also tolled. The most suitable method of paying for these tolls is the E-ZPass Program.

Cons:
The car smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. I was in a hurry, and the attendant walked away after giving me the keys, so I didn't have time to find someone to see if I could exchange the car. However, the smell was so strong we had to drive with the windows down the entire 4 hour trip.10.0 Wonderful

Thomas, Jul 2020
Pros:
The staff was very nice and got me a car that was clean and comfortable. They explained what was included and what was additional with patience and clarity. They were also very friendly.Cons:
The car's oil change indicator was triggered when I picked up the car. The car's tank was also only filled halfway upon pickup. I expected the tank to be full when I picked up the car, so that was very disappointing.9.2 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff in BK was incredible, the car was excellent (and larger than what I thought I paid for, which was really helpful)Cons:
When I arrived there was an issue with the scanner; my name didn't pop up when I returned the car, and as a result I had to wait around while they figured it out, but no one ever explained the issue to me.3 locations in Brooklyn

I went to pick up my car that I booked a week in advance and upon arrival, Thrifty said there were no cars left and she was already closed. It was beyond rude and I will never rent with Thrifty again.5.2 Fair
Anonymous, Jun 2020
Cons:
The E-ZPass in the car didn’t work after I was told repeatedly that it would be available and I had to stop and pay tolls in cash. The car was also not very clean and only came with a half tank of gas which was inconvenient.3.6 Poor
Nito, Jun 2020
Pros:
I liked that it was an SUV with ez passCons:
Everything else, the car was filled with sand, it was given to me on little to no gas, I was unaware of the 30 min grace period on my reservation Causing me to rush to get the rental or lose my reservation, the location does not have any indication that it’s a thrifty location added with having hertz employees and signs.2.0 Poor
Sarah Brittany, Jun 2020
Pros:
The key remote to the car was Given to us low on battery so we had to manually do a lot because the key barely worked. The car wasn’t washed in or out which is pretty scary considering the pandemic. The car was given to us with less than even a quarter tank.Cons:
Better cars with working equipment, cleaner cars especially during a pandemic, and gas up the cars before handing over.2 locations in Brooklyn
