Is this what the $25/day Ryder Cargo Vans look like?
[The $25/day online rate is actually for the older Panel Vans, but many locations will upgrade to a Sprinter Metro Van at no extra cost.]

Since I can not imagine an in city move being more than 1000 miles, that basically equates to free mileage. And seeing as how that really becomes a great deal if you are moving over 15 miles, or need multiple trips. At 40 bucks, I can not think of a better idea.

nice find op. I rent the pickup trucks from Uhaul and they charge $0.59 a mile +$20 rental. Ryder doesn't have pickup trucks, but I might be able to get away with a panel van and free miles so this could be a potential savings (if I go more then 9 miles)
I compared the lowest priced rental car at Houston Hobby $87 per tax Jan 19, 2009 with this panel van for $25 and it is a no brainer to use for a weekday car rental especially during weekdays in expensive markets. Heck with an air mattress and truck stop shower. this could save a little on hotels.
I don't think they will let you rent it to go to the inaugration though.

WhoIsThat said:where does it say that the first 1000 miles is free? Click on Continue, then it says "* Selected vehicle includes 1000 miles, each additional mile $0.89"
I remember seeing this about a month ago after I spent $20 in mileage charge on a Uhaul Van rental. It seems like the %25 off is the promotion, and the 1000 miles free is the standard. I hope it is, I may have to do a round trip from Las Vegas to Fresno later this month, and it would be awfully convenient if I can take one of those Vans (800 mile round trip).

Thanks, sounds good. Has anyone used this? Why does it say "Coupon required at counter" on the make reservation screen? I cant get a live person on the phone now, have to call tomorrow.
Thanks OP! Will use this on Thursday. Told BF about it a few weeks ago and he wasn't interested, says we'll borrow a friend's truck. Now that pickup truck is "too small" (really, you think?) so back to my idea in the first place! Yet now he seems to think renting a truck was his idea since he brought it up this time. Isn't that how it always works with men?

Great find, OP. If you end up with more than a 1000 mile RT or a Ryder isn't convenient, Enterprise is the only place I've seen with unlimited mileage. I took advantage of that and put 1400 miles on a cargo van from SF-San Diego and a few side trips. The unlimited part varies literally from location to location, so shop around if you don't find one at first. Ryder ends up being about $10 a day cheaper for a cargo van, though, so much better deal.

I got this deal when I needed to pickup something from my parents house (about 300 miles from where I live). Made the one day trip and was by far the cheapest option.
Ryder requires you to get insurance b/c they are considered commercial vehicles ... adds $25. Also if you geta diesel fuel can be a considerable amount. My truck got ~10 miles/gal.
All told cost ~$150 for the van, insurance, diesel. Still a good deal.
