Yes we do. You can travel to any of the 50 states and Canada. You are also welcome to take our vans to Hawaii, but let us know, cause we want to laugh our asses off.

No señor.

Yes! You can pick black.

Why would you want to do that?

Ford Econoline:
There are 4 rows of bench seats (in addition to the driver and front passenger). They are removable and will pop out in just a couple minutes. You are welcome to request removal of the two rear rows to make room for your gear (We do not, however, allow removal of the front two bench seats), but please make sure there is a seat belt for every person riding in the van. Obviously this is very important!

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter:
In the captain's chair models there are four captains chairs, with one bench seat in the back, and the driver and front passenger seat in the front. None of these seats are removable, but there is a separate cargo hold for gear storage.
In our bench seat models there are three rows of bench seats. These seats are much heavier, but they are removable, and if you need them removed we are willing to find a way to meet your needs. Discuss this with your Bandago agent for more information.

Ford E-Series Van:
Every band is different, but your standard four piece band will have no trouble storing their gear inside a Ford van if they remove the rear two seats. This will leave seating for 6-8 people.

Ford Transit:
The Transits are great at moving groups of people with luggage, but they have an unusual seat configuration that makes them a little more challenging for bands. We can easily remove some seats, other seats are bolted in. In a pinch we can take those out too, but it's a bit time consuming, so we have preconfigured a portion of our fleet to be a good fit for Bands on short trips. For longer trips we recommend going with either the E-Series or the Sprinter, because the storage options are a bit more ideal for bands.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: Due to the dedicated storage area the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter offers even more storage space for your gear, which in most cases will save you the time and hassle of renting a trailer. The Sprinter is 100% the best way to go if you are a touring band.

In our experience the vast majority of bands can fit their equipment and luggage into the cargo space of a Sprinter without any need for a trailer. Most bands can also fit their equipment into an E-series van with the last two rows of seats removed. But if you are one of those special bands that carries a lighting rig or has gigantic stacks of gear, then you will be delighted to learn that we rent tow hitches for all of our vans (you do need to let us know in advance though). So if you need more storage space, you can rent a trailer from U-haul, or any other reputable trailer rental company, or you can bring your own trailer, and our vehicles can handle the job. Please note we do not supply the ball mount and ball (due to variances in trailer height and tongue size), but most trailer rental operators will have these for sale for low prices.

Ford E-Series Vans:
We advise people to roughly estimate 12-15 miles to the gallon. If you follow our advice (see below) you can substantially improve this mileage. We have had clients report getting as high as 20 miles to the gallon. 

Mercedes-Benz Sprinters:
These vans are very economical on fuel due to the highly efficient Mercedes-Benz engine. They can get as high as 25 miles to the gallon, depending on model year, load weight, driving speed, and road conditions.

In addition to being the best van rental company, we are also the least expensive. Still most people going on tour are looking to save every penny they can. We understand and sympathize, that's why we started this business! There are many things you can do to save money and still successfully complete a nationwide tour. Here are some things we recommend:

1. Drive the speed limit. In addition to being substantially safer, there is a 20% difference in fuel consumption between 65 and 80 MPH. This will add up to hundreds of dollars saved over the course of a national tour.
2. Have your booking agent plan your shows as closely together distance-wise as possible. If possible, play a couple shows in the same area. This is a great way to build an audience! Zigzagging across the country not only adds to stress and wear on the vehicle, it also adds to stress and wear on the band! Poorly planned tours are significantly more expensive in fuel consumption and mileage. Plan your tours smart, and you will still see all the same cities but for hundreds of dollars less.
3. Take care of your van!
We ask all of our clients to change the oil every 3000 miles (every 10k miles for the Sprinters). This is so important to us that we actually reimburse you for these oil changes at the end of the tour! Just bring back your receipts and we will credit your bill accordingly. Also we highly reccomend you use our supplied tire pressure gauges to make sure your tires are properly inflated. A properly maintained van will save you money and will insure a successful tour! If you don't know how to do these things our staff will be more then happy to show you how. Just ask!
