YOUTH SPORTS TRAVEL VANS

Tournaments, Showcases, Away Games and Camps

A travel team is twelve to fifteen kids, two coaches, a trailer's worth of equipment, and a schedule that does not forgive a car that got lost. A minivan convoy means four drivers, four hotel-parking headaches and four different arrival times. One 15-passenger van means the team rides together, warms up together, and the coach is driving instead of coordinating. Bandago has rented vans to club teams, school programs and travel organizations for over twenty years, and we keep enough 12 and 15 passenger vans in 15 cities to cover a weekend tournament or a whole season.

Several Vans, One Reservation, One Bill

Two age groups going to the same tournament? Book multiple vans under one reservation and pick them all up at once. Clubs and travel organizations that rent through a season open a free VIP Business account: one account for the club, every coach can book on it, and the invoices come to the office instead of to a parent's card.

Room for Bags, Sticks, Bats and Coolers

Hockey bags, lacrosse sticks, bat bags, catcher's gear, team tents and the team cooler all have to ride somewhere. The Sprinter has a dedicated cargo hold behind the last row. On the Transit and Express a rear bench comes out when you need a 12-passenger van with real cargo space, so you are not choosing between a seat and a bag.

250 Miles a Day, Included

A three-day tournament 200 miles away, with the hotel, the fields and dinner each night, usually fits inside the 750 miles that come with a three-day rental. Over that it is $0.35 a mile, shown on the quote before you book. No airport concession fees, no surprise line items at the counter.

No Special License, and Coverage Built for Vans

A 15-passenger van needs an ordinary driver's license in every state we rent in (our license guide covers the exceptions for hire and school use). Drivers are 25 and over. Many personal auto policies and credit-card benefits exclude vans with more than 8 seats, so we offer a damage waiver and liability coverage at booking, priced per day and itemized on the quote.

Florida in Winter: Orlando and Miami Lots

December through March is tournament season in Florida: baseball and softball showcases, soccer and lacrosse tournaments around Orlando, bowl-week travel, and spring training in February and March. Our Orlando and Miami branches are minutes from MCO and MIA, and clubs flying in from the north and from Canada pick up the van the day they land. Read the Florida winter van rental guide for the season's dates and what to book ahead of.

One-Way Between Cities

A team that flies into one city and out of another, or a showcase circuit that ends across the state line, can pick up at one Bandago branch and return at another. The one-way fee is priced on the quote page before you reserve.
