Looking for a Minivan One Way

Jack asks:

Would you tell me how I can rent a minivan one way from Vancouver BC, Canada to Phoenix Az, USA?

My Response:

I checked a variety of car rental companies, as I'm sure you already have, for a minivan rental one way from Vancouver airport (YVR) to the Phoenix Airport (PHX) ---no go!

I then tried a few companies for separate minivan one way rentals - YVR to Seattle, Washington (SEA) and then a second one way rental from SEA to PHX. This is doable.

With Avis or Budget, the only vehicle availability would be:

Avis (opens in a new window) -- compact, mid or fullsize car for YVR - SEA then SEA to PHX

Budget (opens in a new window) -- compact, mid full size for YVR - SEA then up to a standard suv (5 passengers) one way from SEA to PHX

Hertz was better with regards to larger vehicles like a minivan rental:

With Hertz you can get a 7 passenger Chevy uplander or similar , one way from YVR to SEA -- I assumed a one day rental (pick up & return within 24 hours) from Vancouver to Seattle and a two day rental (pickup & return within 48 hours) from Seattle to Phoenix.

When you check rates, make sure to use any discount information that you may have to try and lower the price.

Hope this helps!
