New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Phoenix-based tour van company, Van Y Tours keeps literally pushing boundaries. Not only have they just built what may be the 1st of its kind Splitter van, they are now expanding into the Nashville entertainment market. Van Y Tours will now be able to offer a very convenient Nashville location.
"As many nationwide music tours start and end in Nashville, it was only a matter of time before we opened a shop out here," says owner Luke R Van Wyhe of the additional location.
Van Y Tours has been in business just over 2 years now, and has almost quadrupled in size due to the demand for vans with bunks in them. And the growing demand for more options and locations helped pave the way for a complete new type of van and the Nashville location. The new van design features 4 large reclining captains chairs, a wrap around couch, a huge rear cargo area and much more. More images of the vans can be found on the website's gallery page. The Nashville location will help fill a large need for touring bands that start and end a tour in Nashville.
The owner of Soundcheck Nashville, Ben Jumper has stated that bands are asking him for tour vans all the time. "Van Y Tours was a perfect solution to fill the need."
The Sprinter van business has been a growing market for a few years now. Bands are out on the road much more often now, in order to keep revenues up, and gain exposure. Tour van rental is a great way to offset the overall cost of touring. The cost of a tour van is almost 3-4 times less expensive than a traditional tour bus. Van Y Tours expects to have vans on the ground in Nashville by no later than the end of March this year.
