First Field Trip of the Year? State Van has Your Transportation Covered
The good folks at State Van can count at least half a dozen reasons to rent a van instead of a bus, and low prices are among them
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- If you're in education, you might be taking the kids somewhere to start off the school year. Hitting the road is a great way to ease young minds back into the academic spirit. Whether you're thinking of going to a museum, a zoo, or a national park, don't pile everyone into a bus. A full size van from State Van is a more luxurious choice, for the kids and the grownups both. It's also a safer and more reliable way to travel, at least when your fleet is up to the State Van Standard. Van rental in Los Angeles is also quicker, and (contrary to what you might think) it's also quite reasonably priced.
Luxury is the first and some would say most persuasive reason. School buses are the work horses of our public school systems, and they're driven by a dedicated corps of skilled drivers, no doubt. However, a rented van beats a school bus for sheer comfort value any day of the week. If your group is small enough a conversion van, with its TV and DVD player and other cushy amenities is definitely the way to go. However, even an 18 or 15 passenger van in Los Angeles affords you reliable climate control, a better sound system, and ample legroom.
On the way to your destination chaperones will be ones sweating the little ones' safety, but in a rented van, those worries don't have to be so prevalent. While school buses are designed to crash without injuries to the passengers, they don't generally have seatbelts. If nothing else the presence of the seatbelts ensure that the kids will stay put, and there'll be less unwanted travel from one seat to another. Moreover, the condition of the vehicle itself often leaves much to be desired when it's driven day-in-and-day-out for decades like a school bus. Most of the fleet at State Van is next to new, and the entire fleet is maintained by a dedicated staff of expert van mechanics.
Lastly, although safety should be your top priority, speed and efficiency should be on your list too. For carrying capacity, vans can't keep up with buses, but if your group will fit in a van, you'll notice a dramatic speed difference. Not only that, but your driver will be you, the one who rented the van. And you may know the local highways and byways well enough to shave off some travel time. By not paying for the services of a driver, and keeping a tighter schedule, you'll be able to keep your budget down.
If you'll be in Southern California on a sports or band retreat, Van rental from LAX will get you on the road the fastest.
