Hi John, Lois, all...


Indeed 'Ryder' appears for some time to have become the
Brand-of-Choice...


For awhile there, one could hear stories - for someone's
having rented one - of being followed by strip model dark
colored four door Automobles with guys in them as wore
sunglasses.

But I think Lois was asking about Cargo Vans, as to me means
a lite-duty (half-ton or 3/4 at most) non-seat type of small
Van as is not a Truck...and maybe no Windows on the sides or
back.

The other thing to maybe watch out for...is whether one is
to pay for the miliage or not, or if so how much.

I got stung on that one time...the Cargo Van was like
$225.00 for a Week, but unbeknownst to me untill I returned
it, the miliage ( 875 miles in my case) was like 32 cents a
mile. So mot such a good deal afterall !


Ouch...

But from my experience in renting trucks.......... the ones
you get on the
"commercial" deal actually have a change of getting you
reliably to the
show and back . When I used to rent general "consumer"
trucks (don't do
that anymore) they were the scariest pieces of crap
imaginable to drive.
Always in terror that I would bareak down on the road. I
also don't use
UHaul at all anymore. Unreliable, terrible maintanence, I
use Ryder
commercial units when I need a truck.

best,
