Bandago Van Rentals

These guys are great! I wanted to test drive a Sprinter before buying one, and looked around for rentals. For not much more than renting a bare cargo van from Ryder, you can get a fully-​outfitted van designed for road trips — tv, x-​box, wifi, and a dedicated cargo space. Vans are in great condition and well-​kept.
Best of all is the team! Very cool people, super fun to deal with. Where else do you walk into an office and there’s a guitar with a sign that says «Play Me»…
Can’t go wrong!

These guys are cool! This is a great option for touring bands. Not too expensive. All the amenities anyone could ask for as a passenger. They have bent over backwards for me to make sure I can get a rental when I need one. Rates are reasonable and the rides are comfortable.

Rented a Ford Transit for a weekend trip with 14 passengers. The van had the medium height roof and felt very spacious inside – especially when getting in and out compared to the older E-​350 vans – but be aware that there is very little space for luggage in this particular config. The Transit was very easy to drive and felt like driving a minivan with lots of power! Just make sure to make wider turns than you’re used to in a car.
Unfortunately they don’t have any onsite parking to use while you are renting a vehicle so expect to get dropped off or try finding parking in the surrounding area. The guys here were very easy to work with and answered all my questions before I booked, pickup was a breeze and before I left we went over all the features of the van. Overall, the whole experience with Bandago was excellent and I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Good vans for road trips or big group trips. I just took a Ford Transit 15 passenger 350 XLT for a weekend down in Pismo Beach. It was great. 15 inch TV in the van with a Xbox and 4 controllers. After gaming for a while they just watched movies as I drove. Even though its a big van its very torque-​y and is zipping for a big van. Next time me and my friends agreed we will go for the Benz Sprinter for the onboard wifi.
Staff was friendly and efficient. Clean and fast. Would recommend to others when a van is needed.

We rented a 10 seater sprinter for a week and it was the best road trip ever. The van looked intimidating at first, but once you start driving, its like a normal car. My kids were thrilled to have an XBOX and Wifi throughout our trip and my parents were very comfortable in the cushy leather seats. Per them, it felt like you are flying except for the stops made. Van has a lot of space to keep luggage.
We had an issue with a power inverter and I sent an email to Bandago support, within minutes, Andrew was talking to me on the phone and he even arranged a local repair. He even checked in with me during the trip on how it was going which is over and above anything I expected. We had a long road trip and ran over our reservation by a day, the Bandago team was very supportive and recognized our issue and helped us out.
I would certainly rent from them again, great job guys and gals !!!

We loved using the Sprinter van, it was easy to drive, and the seats couldn’t have been more comfortable. The van had several nicks and dents, but not enough to detract form the experience. Renting from Bandago was great, and we’d definitely do it again on our next trip.

Awesome van! Awesome service! 8 of us rode in the 15 passenger Ford transit in comfort! Comes with an xbox and even a few games. We played games and watched a few movies on our trip to Vegas. I was intimidated by the size initially since it’s like a small shuttle but it drives so easy — just like a minivan. Will definitely rent from them again. Hoping they offer more locations soon.

Best place to rents vans and they are new, clean and customer service is excellent! I always go to the airport to borrow vans but now I will certainly go back here and will recommend them to friends.

it was so much worth renting the 15 seater van from bandago equipped with playstation and dvd
remy helped me and made everything easy
david delivered the car to modesto right on time and saved me time and picked it up as well
i paid only half compared to other rental companies plus got van with dvd player and playstation!!!
van was clean and the engine was in perfect condition like a new car.
always going to rent from these folks in the future and recommend them

Customer service is the bomb!!! The van was perfect but to be honest even if the gave me a beat, rusted old van I would have still rented it because of the awesome folks that work there. Keep it up guys.

Friendly, quick, helpful and simply user friendly. Big fan of the folks at Bandago. The guys in the San Francisco office made notes about issues particular to my rental and it was pretty seamless. I would have no problem recommending this service and this office of Bandago to anyone else. Great customer service, a clean vehicle and ease of use. What more do you want?

*UPDATE*
I cannot stress enough how excellent their customer service is! After writing my review, I recived a response from the CEO apologizing and trying to make things right. I really appreciate how fast he got back to me. I didnt even expect a response, yet a positive one at that. Thank you Bandago you’ve exceeded my expectations! Look forward to working with you in the future. :)

The best renting experience, just the way i like. Everyone at Bandago was polite and honest. Nothing went wrong with the van, nobody gave me deadlines or forced me to buy any waivers, small tricks/​workarounds about the van were explained to us, and there were no unexpected charges or surprises at the end.
The sprinter itself was great. Free wifi, nice audio/​video system, lots of 110v power supply and cozy captain chairs. The sprinter is a very good ride for 9 passengers. The captain chairs are comfortable and others are good enough for long rides. It is not bad to drive at all — even though the size might scare you when you see it for the first time — just leave enough braking distance and dont expect rapid acceleration. The diesel engine is torquey and gave us 16+ miles to the gallon for the trip. Please ask about the total height of the van and the fuel tank location before you start off though :)
Cant recommend these guys enough. They are awesome.

Freaking stellar.
Went on a 9 day camping tour with 2 families (4 adults /​4 kids) The 9 passenger sprinter was perfect. The value and service were honestly unbelievable. I kept waiting for something to suck or some random unexpected charge to appear but they were top notch in every point of business. Communication was consistent and extremely polite. If you are renting a van in the bay area forget about all other options these guys are the best!

Bandago truly is as good as it gets in terms of quality and customer service. My group and I showed up when the cheaper Econoline van we’d reserved wasn’t ready to go out: Remy unexpectedly and extremely kindly upgraded us for free. Their Sprinters are as luxurious and well-​made a van as you are likely to find anywhere in the world, and in perfect condition. Their fleet is top of the line, and they made every effort to ensure that we were comfortable and taken care of. If you need a van, this is really the only address for you.

The friendly people at Bandago provide you a money saving way to group travel. We rented in SFO and the savings of an off airport rental was substantial.
For six to nine people consider the Mercedes Sprinter. Featuring captains chair seating and a Diesel engine that gets over 16mpg, it is the way to go.
The Sprinter is easy to drive and the elevated view is great. Why not travel like a rock star?

I think a call from the owner of a company to work out any differences or mis-​communications, and ultimately making things right is exceptional business practice. I book for countless bands and at countless venues. So having the opportunity to explain my need with the owner and having him work outside of their normal practice has made me «a fan» by Unilocal standards. Bandago is consistently who comes up when asked for 10 – 15 passenger rentals, and after this experience I think I have my preferred vendor.

We had a great experience with them, very easy to work with, van was great and costumer service was excelent.
I would use them again in the future.

If there was a button for 10 stars Bandago would get it.
Great service, easy going people, and of course amazing Sprinters, I was in Barbie (brand new black Mercedes) sprinter and for two weeks all she did was drive smooth, and provide comfort, and reliability.
Thanks again Bandago I’ll be back soon

While looking for the absolute cheapest way to rent a van for the Hellhunter/​Passive Aggressive Northwest tour I stumbled across Bandago.
These vehicles are the absolute best way for a band (or two) or any large group to travel comfortably and in style. We selected the 2008 Dodge Sprinter and we couldn’t be happier. It seats 10 (though 8 is preferable for a long haul) and it’s luxuriously equipped with leather seats, internet access, an X-​Box, DVD player w/​15″ screen, AC outlets and decent mileage. It’s also a great value once you compare what it would cost to rent to separate vehicles and factor in gas for a second car. Not to mention, the van drives like a car. Despite the Dodge badging, it’s a Mercedes powertrain and platform, so it has great handling and good power from it’s diesel engine. The best part of the van is that it has a back storage area for all your gear. We managed to fit two drum kits, four amp heads, two cabs, 5 guitars, plus luggage, a few corpses, and a partridge in a pear tree back there.
Very highly recommended if you want to tour with two bands or pretend you’re some rock star primadonna!
