Make Money Renting Out a Cargo Van

A cargo van is one of the most practical, in-demand vehicles you can rent out. Movers, small businesses, gig workers, and DIYers all need cargo space for a day — and most don't own a van.

Where the demand comes from

• Apartment and home moves
• Delivery and side-gig drivers
• Tradespeople hauling materials
• Picking up large furniture or appliances

Unlike recreational vehicles, van demand runs all week, not just weekends, which means higher utilization.

Earning potential

Cargo vans rent for $60–$130 a day. With demand from both individuals and small businesses, a van can book frequently, offsetting payments and insurance fast.

Rent it out safely

• Spell out mileage, fuel, and insurance expectations
• Document condition with photos before each rental
• Note cargo dimensions and payload

List your cargo van on Renting Hive, set a daily rate, and connect with people nearby who need to haul. The platform handles secure payment while you coordinate the handoff. A van that's not on a job can still be earning.
