Top Tips for Renting a Van in Silver Spring
- Silver Spring Van Rentals offers several advantages over alternative transport options. Unlike taxis or buses, a rented van provides flexibility and convenience, especially for larger groups or families. For instance, taking the local “Ride On” bus Route 70 to reach places like Brookside Gardens or the National Museum of Health and Medicine can be time-consuming and less comfortable. With a van, you can easily access family-friendly attractions like Wheaton Regional Park and Rock Creek Regional Park, making your visit more enjoyable and accessible while accommodating sports equipment or luggage effortlessly.
- Most travelers flying to Silver Spring, MD, land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). To rent a car from Silver Spring Van Rentals, please note that most onsite van rentals are conveniently located at the airport's Rental Car Center (RCC). The RCC is easily accessible by a free shuttle from the terminal. Some popular van rental companies at DCA include Enterprise, Budget, and Avis, offering a range of van options to suit your needs. To benefit from competitive rates, you're advised to book in advance.
- When driving your rented van from Silver Spring van rentals, be cautious of jaywalkers and bicyclists, particularly in busy downtown areas like Georgia Avenue and Colesville Road. Since pedestrian traffic can be heavy, you must watch for crossings and yield to pedestrians. Maryland has strict drunk driving laws, with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08%. You should also ensure everyone in the van, especially children, is properly secured in an appropriate child safety seat, following Maryland's guidelines to ensure their safety on the road.
- Driving your rented van from Silver Spring van rentals can be challenging during rush hours, particularly on weekdays from 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm. Traffic congestion often occurs on major routes like Georgia Avenue and the Capital Beltway (I-495). Besides the rush hour traffic, the annual Silver Spring Jazz Festival, usually held in September at Veterans Plaza, can also cause heavy traffic on Colesville Road and Fenton Street due to its popularity among locals and tourists. The festival is a fantastic musical event celebrating jazz with renowned performers.

Pros:
I did not like anything at allCons:
They did not have any cars on the day of our reservation even though we booked our car in advance. The whole point of reservations is to book a car and time slot. They should not do over bookings and inform us in the case of car unavailability so that we can arrange our plans accordingly.5.6 Fair
Aug 2020
Pros:
Staff were friendly.Cons:
Pick-up took an hour. Company is definitely a pandemic profiteer in several respects, one example being their toll policy. Many toll booths only accept E-Z Pass and not cash so the license plate is charged, Enterprise will charge the customer additional fees in addition to the customer paying the toll. I explained were I was going to staff (inter-state) and received no mention of this. I also informed them that I did not own a car and have not driven since the pandemic started. I should have been updated on current procedures concerning tolls. Enterprise is definitely not be my first choice in the future.7.2 Good

May 2021
Pros:
The staff was exceptionally helpful. They were low on cars and initially going to "upgrade" me to a crossover, but when I stressed the fuel economy they turned around a car in minutes that had been returned since I showed up. And then, when I returned after 6 pm (but before the staff left), they accepted the vehicle without question. I also really appreciated that by paying in advance (not sure if a regular Hertz thing or just a limited thing) I was able to save a significant amount over other local competitors that I've used previously. Even with the more limited hours of this small shop, I would definitely consider using this Hertz location again.4.0 Mediocre

No receipt given. Contacted the general customer number who said they would email it 5-10 minutes. It never arrived. They never did. NO RECEIPT. Not the day of. Not the day after. N8.0 Very good

Jul 2017
Cons:
The rental office is on a busy main street, and the pick up/drop off usually requires double parking. The staff is used to this and handles the challenge adroitly, but as renter dropping of a car, it was a little nerve-wracking.7.2 Good
Apr 2017
Pros:
I thought it was a fair price for a day rental. The car was clean.Cons:
I had to wait a pretty long time for the service rep to go and get the car. Both reps were out of the building to get cars for other customers. They should find a closer holding lot.Avis

Jul 2020
Pros:
Staff friendly.Cons:
The car was not clean when I picked up. I saw visible fingerprints on GPS screen, crumbs in the cup holder, and stains on both front seats. About 45 min into my 4 hour drive back to NY, the “!” Icon began to flash indicating the back right tire was low on air. I don’t typically drive so had no idea how to put air in tires or how much. Called Roadside assistance and was on hold forever. Luckily a cop pulled up at the gas station and was able to help me. These things should be checked before customers drive off w the cars. During COVID pandemic I feel that cleanliness should be a priority!3.2 Poor
Oct 2017
Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
First, the office was difficult to locate since it is in a shopping plaza not right on the road as it had been explained. When I returned the car after waiting for the agent to finish his phone call and acknowledge that I was there, the man at the counter was extremely rude. When I questioned the gas prepay refund I was instructed to take it up with the company. That he doesn’t represent the company and that it was expressed in the contract I had read and signed. At which point upon further questioning he provided said pamphlet. I was instructed that I should have read the fine print- and was again told to take it up with the company. Needless to say if I ever rent with Avis again I will be much more explicit in my requests since they obviously conveniently leave things out.10.0 Wonderful

I went to the dealership and asked how much it would be, including insurance. The man ran my card, checked me in and then told me how much it was. He claimed that he couldn't see the total until after my card was charged. I made him cancel the rental and I went elsewhere. Disgusting.Car rental locations in or near Silver Spring
