Bandit Transit – Australia’s First Splitter Van Hire Company

Q. What is a Splitter van?

A. Fast (turbo diesel), comfortable, practical, reliable and affordable, our Splitter Vans are long wheel base Mercedes Sprinters custom fitted with 8 – 12 comfy seats that provide personal space, reading lights, 240v power (computer and phone recharge), tinted windows and curtains, Digital TV/DVD/Stereo, Sat Nav, and in some cases games console inputs and fridges. At the rear wheel arches is a floor to ceiling bulkhead behind which is over 1.8 cubic meters of storage space accessed via the rear double doors. This area provides privacy and security for personal, luggage, band equipment, or any other articles accompanying the passengers.

At Bandit we offer the Vehicles on a self drive hire basis. Do the math. One van, one (diesel) fuel bill, one driver, no airfares, no excess freight charges, no back line hire equals a more profitable tour and one done in relative comfort whilst relaxing to music, sleeping, watching a DVD, using your laptop, and allowing the TM to get online and work, answer management queries etc. Use it as a day room at a festival or venue, or a crew vehicle.
