Vans Seem To Be OF A High Importance To Many Bands
If you are at a gig of a small, unknown band then take a look around the back as nine times out of ten you will see a small van that they use to hold all of their equipment. if you think about it, how important is the van to the bands?
Dogs were thrown out in the early days of touring as the van became the best friend to many groups simply because they are cheap and easy to run. The bigger bands are often seen in the gigantic tour buses for one reason, they have the money or sponorship deals to be able to do it. The sponsors are really only in it for the money which is why many smaller bands will not have funds to gain access to the tour buses.
What happens is the group get together and chip in money towards buying a van so they can use it for transportation use. Once again is can be very difficult to buy a van outright even if there are three or more people paying for it so more often than not bands will look into van leasing because it works out cheaper.
The band then have any damages or accidents covered too so they do not have to take out any extra things they do not need like the band that took out pick up truck leasing just to cover them if the worst case scenario happened.
Although cheap van leasing is likely to be the best option for your band, it is also possible to get a van to run on vegetable oil which of course will save the band on fuel costs. You will need to take at least a trailer full of the oil with you as there are no refuel stations as yet where you can load up on the stuff.
