Frequently Asked Questions

What is Band-Vans.net?

Band-Vans.net is a worldwide directory for splitter vans, sleeper busses, backline, crew and band merchandise. It’s the # 1 place for artists and managers to find the right tour service(s) easily and quickly.

Can I book tour services directly on Band-Vans.net?

No. Band-Vans.net lists service providers so that you have an overview and can find everything you need in one place. You communicate directly with the service providers.

Is Band-Vans.net a price comparison page?

Band-Vans.net is not about comparing prices, but about connecting the right businesses with the right customers. The service providers will send you offers for busses, vans, crew, or backline tailored to your needs.

How can I contact service providers?

Premium service providers have a contact form directly on their listing page on Band-Vans.net. You can find the form under the “contact” tab. Using the contact form, you first must select the service you are mainly interested in.

Why can’t I click on the link to the business I’m interested in?

Band-Vans.net is free for you, but it was a lot of work to build the site, and it still takes a lot of time and work to maintain it.

Therefore, if service providers like tour van rentals or merchandise companies want to use Band-Vans.net for advertising purposes, they have to pay a small amount. This makes the link to their site clickable, and they get other benefits.

Service providers who want to use Band-Vans.net for free will therefore only have a non-clickable link.
