subject: Conversion Van Rentals [print this page] Many individuals often overlook one option when taking long family road trips. People tend to rent a large family sedan or even a Recreational Vehicle (RV) that is a practically a house on wheels. Both of these choices are the most common and will serve you well during your family travels. However, there is another option for family road trips, and that is renting a conversion van.
The basic van body has undergone drastic improvements over the years and is now similar to that of a large RV. The van first became quite popular in the 1970s and was customized by everyone that owned a van. Anything could be found in a 1970s van including glass mirrors on the ceiling and a waterbed in the back. They were known at the time to be a rolling party place that could be taken anywhere in the great outdoors for a gathering of friendship and togetherness.
Quite possibly known as the first fully customizable vehicle, the van could be found rolling down any highway across this great nation. Unfortunately for the van, this popularity only lasted until the end of the 1970s during the gas shortage and every driver was seeking a more economically friendly gasoline engine. Although the van was a popular vehicle for customizing, it wasn't the easiest on gas and consumed a fair amount when driving down the highway.
Those days of gas-guzzling vans are coming to an end thanks to the advancement of fuel technology and less gas consuming engines. While there are still cheaper vehicles on the road today to operate, the van still has a place in our hearts. For this reason, a conversion van is still a great option to rent for family road trips.
With the expansive room inside of a van, coupled with the creature comforts of home, a rental of this caliper is a great choice when gathering a family together. The roominess a van offers provides adequate space for even the longest of legs to stretch out in.
By renting one for a road trip, you'll have the benefits of utilizing it for what is was designed to do without the yearly operating costs of owning one. Although a full-sized van isn't a practical choice for daily commuting, renting one for a road trip is a great decision. A decision that will make all family members happy you made.
