EZ Rent A Van

What EZ Rent A Van does

EZ Rent A Van is a privately held van rental company headquartered in San Diego, California, operating since 2006 as EZ Rent A Van LLC. The company specializes exclusively in vans — minivans, 12-passenger vans, 15-passenger vans, sprinter vans, and cargo vans — differentiating itself from generalist rental agencies that carry limited van inventory. Roughly two-thirds of business originates from the San Diego International Airport, with the balance drawn from train station pickups (Oceanside to Carlsbad to Chula Vista), home and business delivery throughout San Diego County, and one-way drop-offs at LAX and John Wayne Airport for an additional fee.

The company's core technology is a fleet management and online reservation system (reservations.ezrentavan.com) that supports quote requests, online booking, and flight tracking to coordinate airport deliveries. Operations run 24/7 from a single headquarters at 3705 Pacific Hwy Ste C, with pickup/drop-off service in Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Escondido, Oceanside, and San Marcos. Revenue is generated through daily and rental-period charges on the fleet, plus ancillary fees for car seats ($15/seat), Mexico travel insurance ($35/day), and one-way drop-offs to LAX or John Wayne Airport ($350/van).

The business serves a diversified mix of group-travel customers — church and religious groups making mission trips to Mexico, athletic teams traveling to tournaments, families booking reunions and vacations, wedding and bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate groups, and cargo/hauling customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is founder-operated with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company, and relies on free delivery, van-only specialization, and repeat-customer relationships as its primary competitive levers.

Broad incumbents

• Hertz: Hertz operates a global network with passenger van and SUV rentals at major airports, including San Diego. It is a broad incumbent serving overlapping group/airport rental demand with broader brand awareness and corporate accounts.
• Enterprise Rent-A-Car: Enterprise is one of the largest US car rental brands, with significant van inventory (passenger and cargo) and an aggressive neighborhood/free pickup model. It is a broad incumbent against which EZ Rent A Van competes for airport and group travel demand.
• Sixt Rent A Car: Sixt is a fast-growing global rental brand with US airport presence including San Diego. While primarily sedan/SUV-focused, it is expanding into larger vehicles and competes for the same leisure and business-traveler pool as EZ Rent A Van.
• U-Haul International: U-Haul rents cargo vans and pickup trucks nationally for self-move and small-business use. While not focused exclusively on passenger vans like EZ Rent A Van, it is the most direct US peer for cargo van and household/equipment transport rentals and competes on the same San Diego delivery/counter rental motion.
• Avis Budget Group: Avis Budget (Avis and Budget brands) operates a large fleet including passenger and cargo vans at major US airports. It directly competes with EZ Rent A Van for airport-driven group rentals while operating as a multi-category incumbent.

Emerging players

• Cruise America: Cruise America is the largest US RV rental company, often competing for vacation/family group travel dollars. It does not directly rent 12/15-passenger vans but addresses the same use case (large group road-trip travel) from a different product angle.
• Outdoorsy: Outdoorsy is a peer-to-peer RV and large-vehicle rental marketplace. While not a direct van rental operator, it is an emerging channel/MVP for the same group-travel and vacation transportation demand that EZ Rent A Van addresses with managed vans.

Direct peers

• GoRentals: GoRentals is a specialty vehicle rental company focused on luxury SUVs, vans, and group transport. While concentrated in private aviation, it is a directly comparable specialty/group-vehicle rental operator with overlapping group-travel customer use cases.
• ABET Rent A Van: ABET Rent A Van is a Van Nuys (Los Angeles) based van-only rental company offering 12-passenger, 15-passenger, sprinter, and cargo vans with delivery service. It is the closest direct US peer — same specialization, similar fleet composition, and overlapping delivery-driven service model.
• Carlsbad Van Rental: A Southern California van rental operator serving the LA/OC/SD corridor with passenger and cargo van options. Like EZ Rent A Van, it competes on airport delivery and group travel, making it a directly comparable regional peer in the same geography.
