Austin Cargo Van Hire

In Austin, driving from 7 am to 8 am and 3 pm to 5 pm is difficult. The roads most affected by congestion at these times are I-35 (the most congested stretch of highway in all of Texas) and those in the downtown area. Avoid driving at these times as much as you can, but if you have to, install a GPS. The navigation system will help you to find less congested routes quickly.

Although driving a cargo van in Austin may seem complicated, it is much easier if you know certain tips and tricks. In this city, the most direct routes aren't always the quickest. For example, there are periods when going around the city on Loop 360 or Ed Bluestein and then coming back to town is faster than using the direct roads entering the city. The direct routes, including MOPAC, an 11-mile tolled express lane between Cesar Chavez Street and Parmer Lane, and I-35, the expressway through the city, face enormous traffic. In case you're set to drive to Downtown Austin, familiarize yourself with the road network in this part of the city. You'll find numerous one-way streets with little road markings and signage here.

The Chevrolet Express Cargo is one of the most popular Austin cargo van rentals. It features adequate storage capacity, a powerful, reliable, and economical engine, and a comfy interior. It's easy to handle since its controls are more like those of a traditional Chevrolet vehicle. This vehicle is great for light and medium-duty dry cargo moving.
