Tip For Renting Vans

3 Van Rental Principles You Should Always Remember

You just never know what may cause you to consider a van rental to get the job done. Of course you’ll have to approach this a little differently from the typical automobile rental. You just have to do things differently with the van. It doesn’t matter if you already own a passenger van because renting one will still not be the same as a car rental.

You will find that your experience will be much easier if you plan ahead and thoroughly. We want to help you do that, and that’s why this article will talk about three good tips that will help you plan for your van rental.

Here are some great things to remember if you are in need of a passenger rental van. They do tend to only be offered from major rental businesses, and that translates into major cost. Also, if you will be needing it during the summer months, then you’ll need to move fast because they tend to get snapped up during the summer.

What happens is a lot of hotels and other businesses rent vans during the summer for shuttle purposes. What also normally happens is these vehicles see a lot of service, and that tends to show on the interior. All the wear comes from so much service as shuttle vans for businesses.

Many cargo vans will have all of the comforts of your car such as auto trans, power steering, stereo, power breaks and air conditioning.

They also typically come with various accessories for securing your cargo. We’ve found that sometimes there can be variations with the options. But that really has much more to do with availability than anything else. It’s quite common, with the smaller businesses, that all the really nice vans are rented out, and you may be stuck with what’s left. Or, that usually equates to the vehicles that nobody else wanted to rent.

If you have enough lead time, you shouldn’t delay with starting your research for a solid van rental company to do business with. When you do that you’ll obviously have much more time to do comparison shopping. While it’s easy to rent a van online or over the phone, you should also take the time to visit the service in person.

You can often learn a lot more about a place by seeing it for yourself than by relying on the phone or a website. The van rental service should also have the necessary license to operate in your region and be insured as well. As many people don’t you probably weren’t aware either of all of the different options available. You may not realize just how different the costs can be for the different models available. That makes it even more important for you to do your preparation as accurately as possible.

admin — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 04:56:38 +0000

Columbus, OH (PRWEB)

When leasing a car, the company wants to make sure that their car is protected from damages. They will want the consumer to purchase liability coverage. The car insurance will protect the company’s investment and prevent the consumer from getting trapped in a serious financial problem. Car accident damages can be costly so consumers have to purchase the leased car insurance. Consumers must take into consideration the fees discussed in the contract. Some of the basic fees include termination costs, additional charges and etc. The contract will also mention the car insurance fee. It is important to buy car insurance. Customer who does not buy a lease car insurance will be liable for the total fee of the damages including repair fee and medical costs. That’s why Insure4USA.com recently released an new guide, “Car Insurance for Leased Cars Explained,” to help consumers better understand insurance options for leased vehicles.

Leased car owner must purchase a collision and comprehensive insurance. The collision and comprehensive insurance is necessary because it will offer coverage for the damages in the event that of an accident. Normally, consumers are required to pay a deductible. Consumers must purchase a comprehensive and collision coverage for at least 0 deductible.

According to the Insure4USA.com article, “Gap car insurance will compensate the difference of the car value and the remaining outstanding balance.” The gap insurance premium is a onetime fee. The average cost of a gap insurance premium is a few hundred dollars. Purchasing a gap insurance premium can help the consumer to save thousands of dollars in the car is stolen. Gap car insurance is suitable for people that made up to 20% of down payment. People who financed the leased car for at least 6 years can also purchase the gap coverage. Luxury vehicle will depreciate quickly so consumer must purchase the gap car insurance.

If you get involved in an accident, the insurance company will offer compensation for the repair costs. Some insurance company will replace the damage parts with OEM parts while others use a mix of OEM and non OEM parts. If the company does not offer OEM parts replacement, consumers can still request for OEM parts to be used when repairing the car.

Consumer Interest in All-New Taurus with Mobile Posse

admin — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:03:42 +0000

Mobile Posse is helping Ford Motor Company to drive consumer interest in its all-new 2010 Ford Taurus. During November and December 2009, Ford ran a national campaign promoting the launch of the redesigned Taurus to Mobile Posse’s opted-in base of mobile consumers.

Ford’s mobile idle screen advertising campaign was designed to spur consumer awareness and interest in the new Ford Taurus sedan. Full-color, full-screen creative showcased the exterior design of the vehicle and highlighted select engineering and interior features, including the available 365-HP Ecoboost V6 engine, radar-enabled technologies, and massaging seats. Average CTR for the campaign was 20%. Nearly half of Mobile Posse’s unique users clicked on a Ford ad during the campaign.

“The all-new Taurus is the most innovative full-size sedan on the road today and the rapid growth of Smartphone customers provided the perfect opportunity to unite innovation with the innovative,” said Lew Echlin, Ford National Marketing Communications Manager. “The mobile medium is a perfect forum to showcase Taurus’ leadership in design, fuel-efficient EcoBoost power, and radar technology, which made the graphic-rich Mobile Posse platform a wide stage to provide our customers with demonstrations and a call to action, ideal for our flagship.”

The campaign was the first by an automotive manufacturer to include Mobile Posse’s idle screen “click-to-mobile web” functionality, which enables consumers to launch a complementary mobile website with a single click. After viewing the Ford Taurus ad, Mobile Posse users were invited to visit Ford’s mobile website to find a local dealer. Nearly 20 percent of users that viewed a “click-to-mobile web” ad elected to view the site.

“With the launch of the 2010 Ford Taurus, we needed to effectively reach the vehicle’s target market via the mobile device in a way that complimented our existing mobile initiatives, and our traditional media buys,” said Brian Bos, SVP, Convergence Director for Team Detroit, Ford’s Agency. “With Mobile Posse, we were able to quickly develop an engaging and interactive mobile experience that connected with consumers outside of the mobile browser and delivered exceptional results for the client.”

Mobile Posse’s active idle screen solution proactively delivers graphical and interactive advertising to the most valuable real-estate on the mobile device – the idle screen. Consumers opt-in to the free service to receive timely information and valued offers from national and regional brands. Idle screen messages are delivered only when the phone is not in use, generating industry-leading consumer response and average double-digit CTRs.

“We are thrilled to be a cornerstone of Ford’s innovative launch campaign for the Taurus,” said Jon Jackson, CEO of Mobile Posse. “The success of Ford’s campaign underscores the ability of active idle screen advertising – and mobile advertising in general – to effectively elicit consumer response and to generate sales leads for high-dollar-value consumer goods.”

Launched in 2007 and deployed with leading wireless carriers across the U.S., Mobile Posse now serves active idle screen advertising to more than 1 million mobile consumers in 210 DMAs every day.
