Rental Requirements
You’ll need a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance (or purchase our coverage), and a major credit card for the deposit. Drivers must be at least 25 years old, or 21 for minivans.
We accept debit cards for rentals, but require a higher security deposit than we do for credit cards.
You can cancel reservations by phone during our normal business hours or any time via email. During peak rental seasons, we require at least three days advance notice for cancellations without penalty.
No, we do not run credit checks for van rentals. We simply verify your driver’s license and hold a security deposit on your credit card.
Yes, additional drivers can be added to the rental agreement at no extra charge. They must meet the same age and license requirements.
Pricing & Payment
Daily rates start at $99 for minivans and $149 for full-size vans. We offer discounts for weekly and monthly rentals. Contact us for a specific quote based on your needs.
No hidden fees! The price we quote includes the rental rate and applicable taxes. Insurance, if needed, is additional but clearly explained upfront.
Our prices are already 20-30% lower than Enterprise, Hertz, and Budget. We’re confident you won’t find better value in Phoenix.
We hold a $200 security deposit on a credit card, or a $400 deposit on a debit card. This is released upon safe return of the van.
These deposit amounts may be changed at A-1’s discretion and without prior notice.
Insurance & Coverage
Yes, you need either your own auto insurance that covers rental vehicles or you can purchase our collision damage waiver or liability coverage.
You can cancel reservations by phone during our normal business hours or any time via email. During peak rental seasons, we require at least three days advance notice for cancellations without penalty.
Our Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is $21 per day with a $1,000 deductible or $29 per day with a $500 deductible. We also offer Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) for $19 per day. SLI afford the renter up to $500,000 in third-party supplemental liability coverage.
Insurance coverage for full-size vans can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, so we recommend calling your insurance company and verifying that your personal policy will afford you the coverage needed. It is important to be sure to specify the size of the van you will be renting, as some policies have restrictions based on factors such as passenger capacity, vehicle weight, etc. The majority of credit card coverage for rentals will not extend to full-size vans.
If you have our coverage, you’re responsible only for the deductible. With your own insurance, you’ll work directly with your provider.
Vehicle Information
We offer 7-passenger minivans, 12 and 15-passenger vans, cargo vans, and wheelchair accessible vans.
