$135 a day plus 10¢ a mile — here's what that turns into for a La Crosse tournament, a Dells weekend, and a full week on the road.
It's the first question on almost every van call: what's this going to run us? Fair question — a 15-passenger van is the biggest thing we rent, and the groups who need one (teams, churches, reunions, work crews) usually have a budget to answer to. So here are the actual numbers, no "starting at" fine print.
Our 15-passenger van is $135 per day plus $0.10 per mile. Rent it for 7 days or more and it's $750 for the week with unlimited mileage. That's the whole rate structure. No airport concession fee, no surge pricing on busy weekends, no call-center add-ons. The price we post is the price.
Mileage is the only moving part, so here's how it shakes out from our lot on Highway 54 (round-trip miles are approximate):
Split a La Crosse day trip twelve ways and it's roughly $12 a head before fuel. That's the number coaches and trip organizers take back to the group.
Six days at the daily rate is $810 before a single mile — already more than the $750 weekly rate, which includes unlimited miles. Even at five days, a long-haul trip can cross over: five days is $675, so anything past about 750 miles makes the week the better deal. Rule of thumb: five days or more, ask us to price it both ways. We'll tell you which is cheaper. More on that math in our weekly vs. daily breakdown.
There's a refundable deposit at pickup: $300 for local renters, $500 for out-of-town renters, on a credit card or a bank debit card. Credit card transactions carry a 3% surcharge (disclosed before you pay); debit and prepaid cards are never surcharged. Full details are in our deposit and payment guide.
One licensed adult driver with the standard three documents: driver's license, card, and proof of auto insurance. Worth a two-minute call to your agent before a big trip — some personal policies treat large passenger vans differently than cars.
Here's the part the rate sheet doesn't show: there's one 15-passenger van in our fleet, and most national chains stopped renting them to consumers years ago. On fall Saturdays and holiday weekends, the price isn't the constraint — the calendar is. If the date's firm, lock it in. If the big van's booked, two 7-passenger minivans ($78/day + $0.10/mile each) still move 14 people.
Call or text 715-396-1466 with your dates and destination and we'll quote it to the dollar. Renting from Sparta, Tomah, or Neillsville? Same rates — and it's a short drive to the lot.
$135 per day plus $0.10 per mile, or $750 per week (7+ days) with unlimited mileage. No airport fees or surge pricing.
About $146 total: $135 for the day plus roughly $11 in mileage for the ~110-mile round trip. Split twelve ways, that's about $12 per person before fuel.
At six days the daily rate ($810) already exceeds the $750 weekly rate, which includes unlimited miles. For five-day trips over about 750 miles, weekly also wins. Ask us to price both.
Yes. $300 for local renters and $500 for out-of-town renters, on a credit card or bank debit card. It's refunded after the van is returned.
Dates and destination — that's all we need to price it.
