Passenger Van Rental SLC

My family and 4 others (7 total) are flying into SLC and want to rent a van for 6 days to drive up to Yellowstone. Any recommendations on a company to go with? We'd prefer something larger than a minivan due to luggage.

Avis has the best deal for picking up a van (7 passenger) at the SLC airport. Whether it has enough luggage room will have to be your call. Check with Kayak to get the best deal.

Yes. Two minivans, or even two mid-sized cars if you prefer.

Also, if some want to go back to the lodgings earlier, they aren't taking your only vehicle.

If you want to rent a large van then look at Enterprise - they may have vans at an offsite/nearby location, if not at the airport.

Both options are ok: multiple vehicles for flexibility vs one larger vehicle for all. Neither is right or wrong, it depends on your own preference.

I rent from National or Hertz weekly. Both have the really big SUVs that would have room for 7 ppl and the luggage.
I just checked National's rates (with no discounts) for the Premium SUV class and it would be less expensive than renting 2 minivans. Unless there's a reason to split people into 2 vehicles, I think that would be more trouble than it's worth. If you go that option, get walkie talkies because there's limited cell service in the parks.

They also have a 15 person passenger van if you really meant "passenger van" in your title.
