It isn’t too common that you will need a refrigerated van, but because of this, when you do need one, you likely aren’t going to own one and will have to rent the van or truck. But how much should you expect to pay to rent out a refrigerated van for the time you need?
The starting cost to rent most refrigerated vans is around $175. There is also the option to rent out larger refrigerated trucks. The cost varies on the company one chooses to rent from, but vans start at $175 per day, and refrigerated trucks start at $250 per day.

Enterprise Refrigerated Commercial Truck
The Enterprise refrigerated cargo trucks are just the different versions of their trucks with a refrigerated unit attached to the truck. The two options that Enterprise offers for refrigerated trucks are the 16′ and the 24′ trucks. While Enterprise does have 15′ and 26′ trucks, they don’t offer these trucks with refrigeration units added to them.
However, when it comes to renting refrigerated trucks, you are only able to do this if you are going to need to be doing so commercially. So, to rent these trucks, you have to be part of a company that is renting. Otherwise, you will be unable to rent the Enterprise refrigerated trucks. However, they do have refrigerated vans, which you can rent.
Ryder Commercial Refrigerated Truck
Regarding Ryder truck rental, you have three different options of trucks you can rent. The refrigerated box truck, a refrigerated truck, and a refrigerated trailer.
When your commercial load is temperature-sensitive, rent a refrigerated straight truck from Ryder. These rentals work for light-duty or medium-duty loads, with a cab-over truck design for improved maneuverability. This truck is only available for business customers.
