If you’re planning a move in Atlanta—especially from one apartment to another—you already know the hustle is real. Between scheduling elevators, packing your life into boxes, and figuring out how to get everything from point A to point B without breaking your back (or your furniture), it’s easy to get overwhelmed.

That’s where we come in. At Cargo Atlanta, we don’t just rent cargo vans—we help simplify the entire moving process. With flexible van rentals and tailored moving kits, we’ve got your back every step of the way.

Here’s everything you need to know about renting a cargo van in Atlanta and which packing supplies will actually make your move easier, not harder.

Why Rent a Cargo Van Instead of a Moving Truck?

Let’s start with the basics. If you’re moving from an apartment—whether it’s a studio in Midtown or a 2-bedroom in Buckhead—you don’t need a 26-foot box truck. That’s overkill. A cargo van gives you all the space you need with none of the stress.

Benefits of Renting a Cargo Van:

• Easier to drive and park – Especially in tight city streets or apartment complexes.
• More fuel efficient – Save money at the pump.
• Flexible load capacity – Perfect for 1–2 bedroom apartments.
• No commercial license needed – Anyone with a valid driver’s license can rent and drive.
• Cheaper than larger trucks – Especially with hourly or daily rental options.

At Cargo Atlanta, our vans are clean, well-maintained, and ready to roll. Whether you’re doing a quick hop across town or making multiple trips, our vehicles are up to the task.
