FAQ
Q. If I set the thermostat to a specific temperature, how certain can I be that it will hold?
With all doors closed, the unit will keep the desired temperature. Keep in mind that every time a door is opened, cold air will escape, causing the temperature to increase. If you’re concerned with keeping the temperature consistent (and you should be), keep the back of the van sealed (in other words, keep the doors closed). Avoid opening any refrigerated cargo area door while the refrigeration unit is running.
Q. I know this can keep my things cold, but can this van keep things frozen?
Not all vans are designed to be freezer vans, but we do carry them. Just make sure you request a freezer van instead of a refrigerated van. Do not push the temp of a Refrigerated Van below 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Q. What is standby mode and how does it work?
The refrigeration (or freezer) unit will work best when in Standby mode (aka plugged in to a power source) however it must be executed properly or you will either cause damage to the unit or it just won’t work properly or both.
Standby mode for Refrigerator vans:
- Turn the van’s engine is OFF and take the key out of the ignition
- Plug the cable’s circular connector into the van and turn clockwise until it locks into place. Plug the other end into a 110V single phase (standard residential) outlet.
- Turn control box ON via power button and set to desired temperature.
- Do not use extension cords
Standby mode for Freezer vans:
Please note: This van’s standby cable is 30 AMP 3 PHASE 4 WIRE STRAIGHT 250 VOLT
- Turn the van’s engine is OFF and take the key out of the ignition.
- Plug the cable’s circular connector into the van and turn clockwise until it locks into place. Plug the other end into a 250V three phase outlet. The odds of you having a 250V three phase at your house or office is very slim. Please make sure you have the proper power source before renting this van.
- Turn control box ON via power button and set to desired temperature.
- Do not use extension cords.
Q. What is roadside mode?
Roadside mode means you’re powering the refrigeration unit using the van’s engine. The higher you push the van’s RPM, the more stress you’re putting on the refrigeration unit’s belts and overall system. Avoid “flooring it” or extreme, unexpected acceleration.
Q. Can this van replace a traditional commercial or residential refrigerator at my restaurant or business?
These vans are meant to provide temporary, refrigerated solutions.
Q. In the event of an issue with the refrigeration/freezer unit that causes my product to go bad, will you reimburse me for the loss?
We are not responsible for any lost product or revenue due to a malfunction of any kind.
Q. I’m packing product in the van right up to the fridge/freezer unit and/or the ceiling. No problem, right?
Wrong. That’s a problem. Do not stack product so that it will block air flow. Proper airflow under the product is good too. Try to use a pallet when possible.
Q. I don’t have commercial auto insurance. Can you provide coverage?
For renters who don’t qualify for a corporate account, we sell Renter’s Liability Insurance (RLI) and Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) for an additional cost. It is important to note that CDW does not cover any damage caused by overhead collision or any behavior deemed reckless (among other things) and CDW comes with a $1500 deductible.
All corporate accounts must provide an insurance certificate naming California Rent A Car both “Additional Insured” and “Loss Payee” as well as provide evidence of at least $1,000,000 in automobile liability coverage. California Rent A Car must be listed as a certificate holder.
Q. What’s the minimum age to rent one of your vans?
All drivers must be 25 or older.
