LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For decades, Las Vegas has been the go-to destination city for day and weekend trips that friends cherish for years. While most travel groups around the country fly to Las Vegas for their trip, residents of Los Angeles are only a quick four hour drive away. If a group hits the road in the morning, they can be dining at one of Las Vegas' famous buffets for lunch.  When groups consider the time it takes to get through airport security, or sit on the tarmac before take off and after landing, that drive is only slightly longer than the total time it takes to travel by air. And, when factoring in the affordable price of a van rental from State Van Rental versus current airline costs, the choice of whether to fly or drive becomes even clearer.

The savings gained from traveling by road are significant and are boosted even further by the fact that current gas prices are lower than they have been in years. The national average gas price today is a whole $1.20 cheaper than it was at this time last year. For passengers that select an average 12 passenger van, a round trip drive to and from Las Vegas uses around 80-100 gallons of gas. That means that anyone renting a van today will save over $100 compared to what it cost to make the trip last year. That money can buy you into more than a couple hands of blackjack! And, with gas prices dipping more and more every day, these savings will only continue to grow.

Groups that rent a van in Los Angeles also have the option of flying back after a tiring Las Vegas weekend if they wish. State Van has convenient pick up and drop off locations both at the Los Angeles and Las Vegas airports to make a one way van trip possible on either the way there or the return trip.

Travelers who rent a van to Las Vegas also benefit from the much more cozy and close-knit traveling environment that a van offers over a plane. Not only do travelers get to avoid the stresses of the airport, but they get the additional bonus of being able to bond with their friends and family during the hours on the open road without the buffer of other strangers and travelers.

Vans from State Van Rental are kept in tip-top shape both in terms of cosmetics and mechanics. When you rent a van for your group, you can rest assured that when you pick it up in either Los Angeles or Las Vegas it will be clean and running smoothly. The friendly and professional staff at State Van Rental is also dedicated to providing the highest quality customer service to ensure that you have an outstanding rental experience from beginning to end. To reserve a van or to find out more about State Van Rental's affordable rates, call 888-315-6888 or visit their website at www.statevan.com.
