Why it's this cheap
The rental company needs the van in Boston and would otherwise pay a driver or a truck to move it, so they rent it for $1 a day.
Why it's a steal
GOOD COMPARISONSame van at the listing's extra-day rate ($125 × 17) plus the same fees, insurance and fuel (no fuel refund); excludes any one-way drop fee, so a normal one-way rental is likely higher. A normal rental would let you choose dates and return location; this one must be picked up Oct 26 – Nov 14, 2026 and delivered to Boston within 17 days.
