Cargo vans are mostly used for light-duty transportation needs. They come in different sizes, and whether you need a parcel van or panel van, COOP has a variety of rentals available in Arlington.
Step Van
When compared to the van with high roofs, step vans have more boxed-shape. They are referred to step vans simply because of how easy it is to step out of them and in most cases, step vans are used for courier services and delivery services. The boxy shape has its own limitations in that they have less height space when compared to other vans.
Full-Size Vans
Full-size vans have heavy load capacities and are also referred to as minivans. They have a short hood and just like step vans, have a boxy appearance. Most full-size vans have automatic transmissions and V8 engines, which improves their function and reliability. Full-size vans were built as an upgrade of compact vans and some of the most common include the Nissan NV, Mercedes Benz Sprinter, Chevrolet Express, and the Ford Transit.

Carpool Business
Cargo vans are also great for carpooling. It is a good business to start in the neighborhood especially where most parents work till late and need a means of transport for their kids to and from school. You can pitch to those who will likely be interested in the idea and ensure to include all important information like insurance verification, emergency measures, and experience you have. The good thing is that you can delegate duties to other interested parents and rotate duties within yourselves.
Leasing
Businesses also lease cargo vans for their transportation needs. Instead of buying a cargo van, you can enter into a contract that allows you to lease them. Depending on your needs, you can either lease the van long term or short term. Each has its advantages, for instance, long term leasing has a small cash outlay when compared to a new purchase. Leasing is also a great way of avoiding taxes which come with buying a new cargo van.
