The 15-passenger van size is the trade-off that works here: big enough for the people and bags you are bringing, small enough that parking is not a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTolls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 183A, the 45 and the SH 130 are the toll roads worth using, and the 130 is the fastest way around Austin entirely when I-35 stops.

With all fifteen seats in use there is still room behind the last row, which is unusual in this class; with the last row folded it swallows a small move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree common Austin rentals in a Ford Transit 15-Passenger Van\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe festival week.\u003c\/strong\u003e SXSW in March or ACL in October. Downtown parking is the hard part, so most people stay north and drive in, or park at a garage near the venue and leave the car.

The amount depends on the vehicle and your coverage, and we tell you the exact figure before you pay anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat about insurance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBasic liability is included. If your own policy or your credit card already covers rentals, bring the proof and you do not pay twice. If it does not, we explain the full-coverage option and what it costs before your card is charged, not at the kerb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many miles are included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnough for normal use around Austin and the day trips on this page. If you are planning something long, tell us the route when you book and we will confirm the allowance in writing rather than leave it to a surprise on the invoice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan someone else drive it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Additional drivers are added at booking; they need the same licence and minimum age of 21. It is easier to add them up front than mid-rental.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if my flight is delayed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe track the flight number you give us and move the delivery.
