State Van Rental, a car rental company specializing in cargo and passenger van rentals, announced it will be offering passenger van rentals for free to all those who were subject to the mandatory evacuations in the Los Angeles area due to recent wildfires.“There are certain requirements that are needed, but no different than any other rental,” Lynn Matalon of State Van Rental said.

The would-be renters need to provide their own insurance coverage, be at least 25-years-old, provide $500 security deposit, as well as a valid driver license. The rental is free for one day, and additional days would be at cost.
