Top Tips for Renting a Van in Kalamazoo
- Kalamazoo and its surrounding areas offer a variety of attractions, including nature parks, cultural sites, and recreational activities. Renting a van gives you the flexibility to explore the region at your own pace and visit multiple places in a single day. Kalamazoo van rentals allow you to transport your outdoor gear and equipment for activities like camping, fishing, and water sports. Kalamazoo is home to attractions like the Kalamazoo Air Zoo, Kalamazoo Valley Museum, and numerous breweries. Renting a van can help you explore these local gems conveniently.
- When you want a convenient place to get Kalamazoo van rentals, the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport (AZO) is a good choice. This airport features rental services from around for major rental brands, and each one of them has a large customer service desk in the arrivals hall of the airport adjacent to the baggage claim area. Once you have your van keys and your contract, you can make your way outside of the exit of the baggage claim and easily pick up your van in the adjacent parking lot.
- Kalamazoo experiences harsh winter weather with snow and ice. If you're driving during the winter months, equip your vehicle with snow tires, carry ice scrapers and snow brushes, and drive at a safe speed when roads are slippery. Follow proper lane discipline, especially on highways and interstates. Use the left lane for passing and the right lane for slower traffic. Keep right except when passing. Kalamazoo has several roundabouts. When entering a roundabout, yield to traffic already inside and follow the right-of-way rules.
- Events at WMU, such as sports games or concerts, can lead to heavy traffic in and around the university campus. Be prepared for congestion on event days, especially near the intersection of Stadium Drive and US-131. During national holidays and long weekends, traffic can be heavier as people travel for celebrations or vacations. It's essential to plan your trips around holiday schedules if possible. The morning rush hour in Kalamazoo typically occurs from around 7:00 to 9:00 am and 4:00 to 6:00 pm on weekdays. During this time, you may find increased traffic and congestion on major roads.

Mar 2021
Pros:
The car drove smoothly.Cons:
We were already on our way to pick up the car at one location when we received a call that that location was closed and we had to pick up at a different one that was farther away. We should have been notified much sooner, as we were needing to get on the road for our trip. At this new location, the Kalamazoo airport, they only had one person working and it was "here. here's your keys." We quickly that the car had not been cleaned between rentals, as there were crumbs in the car, dust on the dashboard, two bags of chips in the glove compartment, and the WORST part was that it was very obvious whoever rented it last had smoked something in the car. It STUNK. We did not have time to return to the airport to see about a different car, as we were already behind schedule with having to pick up at a different location, and need to get on the road to make it to our appointment in another state. We also didn't have an employee walk around the car with us, checking it out, so we were concerned we would be charged for the nick in the windshield or other scratches and dents that we noticed right away. What could have been done better? Having more than one person working at the rental counter, having the car cleaned (especially when it STUNK) and finding out we needed to go to a different location sooner. Finding out ten to fifteen minutes before pick up, when you've already left home, is not good enough.4.0 Mediocre
Mar 2021
Cons:
The van was dirty when I picked it up, both inside and outside. I found a used water bottle in the door compartment. I swept hair bands and metal screws and dirt off the floor of the cargo area. The side cargo door rattled the entire time. Because the door did not close properly, the van was cold even when the heater was running full blast. The clerk had told me the vans had been used hard by Amazon. I expected a better vehicle than I received.8.4 Very good

Pros:
Great price. Effective little car that did what it needed to do. I appreciated the ice/snow scraper included.Cons:
The windows either were or got hard to see through very quickly and the squirts didn’t make that better. I finally just poured water over it and that helped.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

The car that we rented was turned around so quickly, that the cleaning crew missed an obvious spill in the back. As our trip went on & the car sat out in the sun, a rotten milk smell began to consume the car. When we arrived in Wisconsin, we went to an Enterprise there & the kind young man offered to deodorize the car & immediately discovered the spillage spot. He offered to trade the car out the following day, however, when we went back, there were no cars available. He contacted another Enterprise who had a car available, however, we opted to keep the car versus driving to the other rental office as we only had a couple of days left & the odor had decreased.10.0 Wonderful

Apr 2017
Pros:
The car was super clean and had all of the amenities that an out of towner would need. The service in Kalamazoo was super fast and easy. The service professional was very friendly and communicated well. She did however tell me that she was positive driving from Kalamazoo to Detroit would need half a tank of gas so, per her advice, I pre-purchased the half tank of gas. I actually used not even 1/8 of the tank. But the good news is that the professional at drop off in Detroit verified my gas use and refunded me the rest!Budget
