Needed a 15-passenger van for a church youth conference but found almost nothing available from the “big” rental companies. What was available was expensive (low supply, high demand). Then I found Carl’s. They were very reasonably priced and I was able to rent longer for about $200 less that what the other companies charged. Free shuttle and not far from the airport at all. Excellent customer servixe too. I would gladly rent from them again!

We rented a minivan last week and it was great. The staff treated us really well - picked us up at the airport, helped load our luggage, and got us into a nice van. The minivan was clean and ran great all week. They made the process very simple. I would definitely recommend them to a friend.

They were the cheapest place around. They made sure we had a ride via shuttle to the hotel where we picked the van up after hours. We were rushing to the airport they had someone standing out the front for us when we dropped the van off to take us to the airport. Everyone we spoke to on the phone was very attentive in making sure we got our rental scheduled and confirmed before they closed. The easiest and best decision we made the entire trip!!

This is an impressive company to rent through. I was a little on the fence about renting the 15-passenger van through them because it was such an cheaper price.

After finding ourselves one Friday morning in an emergency situation needing to rent 2 large passenger vans for the weekend, with the larger rental agencies all sold out, Carl's not only came to the rescue with available inventory, but beat the competitors quoted price by at least 30%! Heather is the definition of amazing customer service, from the first interaction over the phone through check-out. 10/10 recommend this business, and we will be calling them first from now on!

I rented from Carl's Van Rentals - Tampa and my experience was wonderful! The store manager, Frank, was quick to follow up and able to provide exactly what I needed with less than 48-hours notice. I would highly recommend Carl's Van Rentals for any of your large vehicle rental needs.

Excellent service and quality vehicles. Ida was very responsive to my emails and there were no issues. They have a safe links for payment as well. They were closed on Sunday when I needed the van, but have a convenient Lock box system that allowed fast and easy pickupbon that day. Highly recommended!

Rented their cargo van for a move. Truck was in excellent condition and was perfect for the job. Unfortunately, a drunk driver hit me. When I called to report it, the folks there couldn't have been better. They were 100% concerned about me. I wouldn't hesitate renting from them again and highly recommend them

I needed a 12-passenger van (or two) at the last minute and called Heather and the crew. Unlike almost everyone else, Carl's Vans had vans ready to go and they went the extra mile to help accommodate me coming from out of town before closing. While it didn't work out in the end and our plans changed, I appreciate how Heather was willing to setup someone to meet on Sat morning for a van rental even though they are closed that day. They really went above and beyond to earn my business and the next time we need a van, we will be back!

Carl's Van Rentals was the best van rental experience you could hope for. The rental process was easy. Everything was easy to find and the vehicles were ready to go. They even picked me up early when my flight got in ahead of time. Fantastic customer service.

Brought a softball team into town for the weekend and rented a 15-passenger van and a minivan for our luggage. The process was smooth and straightforward, from online reservations to final drop-off. Will definitely use them again for next year’s trip!

Amazing experience renting with Carls! Having never been to Orlando, it put us at ease being provided the free airport shuttle to our rental van there and back to the airport. Super smooth process and they were available with any concerns! Vehicles were very clean and well maintained. The EZ Pass for the tolls was a great help as we were not prepared for tolls and had a lot of driving to do! All instructions were in the van and we had a great experience! Highly recommend and will be using their services when we return! Great price as well!

So here is my review… this is a mom and pop car rental. I was skeptical about renting from them because you have to pay for everything in advance, including the deposit. But I appreciated the costumer service and the price of my requested 7 seater van. So I followed my instinct and went for it. Not only was it the cheapest quote in my car search, but the pick up and drop off after hours was seamless! There was a shuttle both ways (quick 10 min ride to and from the airport) and the car itself was very very spacious. I forgot to take pics of it because I was busy enjoying my vaca so I took a screenshot from one of my videos. lol. It was a Maroon Kia Sedona and it held 7 ppl comfortably and all of our luggage as well. I will absolutely rent from them again! I know this review was long winded but I’m just trying to be thorough to help you make the right choice when choosing a car rental company.
