- Choosing a vehicle
The vehicle decides the budget, the timeline and the reach
People usually come to us having already pictured a full size coach, because that is what a bus wrap looks like in most people’s heads. Often it is the right answer. Just as often the campaign would do better with three sprinter vans covering three neighbourhoods, or a mini bus that can actually park where the audience is.
The differences are not small. A sprinter van takes around 300 square feet of vinyl and goes on in a day. A double decker takes seven times that and ties up a bay for the best part of a week. Same material, same process, completely different number at the bottom of the quote.
This page exists so you can see those differences side by side before you commit to anything. Compare the classes, read the page for the one you are leaning towards, and call us if it still is not obvious. We would rather talk you into the cheaper vehicle than sell you the wrong one.

- How to choose
Three questions that usually settle it
01
Does the vehicle carry people?
If it has to move a team, a candidate or an audience, the passenger count sets the class before anything else does. If it only has to carry the message, a trailer or a mobile billboard delivers more surface for less money and needs no driver.
02
Where does it need to park?
This is the question people forget until it is too late. A 45 foot coach cannot reach a great deal of downtown, and a venue that promised space often has less than it thought. If the campaign lives in tight streets, a mini bus or sprinter van will outperform a coach it cannot legally stop next to.
03
One vehicle or several?
A single coach gives you one very large impression. Three sprinter vans for similar money give you three neighbourhoods at once. For awareness across a city, the fleet usually wins. For a single hero moment or a press backdrop, the coach does.
04
How long does it need to last?
A wrap rated for five to seven years is the same material whether the campaign runs a week or a decade. For short events, partial coverage on the panels people actually look at delivers most of the effect at a fraction of the spend.
05
Do you own the vehicle?
If it is chartered, the operator has a say in materials, timing and removal. We handle that conversation directly, but it does add a party to the approval chain and it is worth knowing before you set a launch date.
06
When does it need to be on the road?
Install windows run from one day for a sprinter van to five for a double decker, and that is before design and print. If the date is fixed and close, the vehicle class may end up being chosen for you.

Looking for your industry instead?
Approval chains, artwork rules and lead times vary far more by sector than by vehicle. If you would rather start from what your organisation does, the industry pages cover how we handle each one.
- Vehicle FAQs
Questions about choosing a vehicle class
General pricing and material questions are covered on the full FAQ page.
Which vehicle gives the best value for money?
Per square foot, the large coaches are the cheapest surface you can buy, because the labour does not scale as fast as the area. Per campaign, it depends entirely on what you need. If the goal is city wide awareness, several mid size vehicles covering different districts usually beat one coach. If the goal is a single unmissable presence or a press backdrop, nothing matches a full size coach.
Can you wrap a vehicle class that is not listed?
Almost certainly. The fifteen classes above are simply the ones we are asked for most. We have wrapped box trucks, food trucks, van fleets, ambulances, airport ground vehicles and a number of one off builds. If it has flat or gently curved panels and it is legal to drive, send us a photograph and the dimensions and we will quote it.
Do the figures in the comparison table include windows?
The full coverage figures assume perforated one way vision film across the glass, which is how most campaign wraps are specified. Leaving the glass clear reduces both the material and the labour noticeably, and on some vehicles it is the better looking option anyway. We quote both so you can compare.
Can we mix vehicle classes in one campaign?
Yes, and mixed fleets are common on tours and activations. A coach carries the team and acts as the hero vehicle while sprinter vans handle street level work in tighter areas. We design them as one system so the identity holds across vehicles with very different proportions, which matters more than people expect once they are parked next to each other.
Does the vehicle class change how long the wrap lasts?
Not really. The material is rated for roughly five to seven years on vertical surfaces regardless of what it is applied to. What does shorten a wrap's life is heavy daily mileage, frequent pressure washing and long periods parked in direct sun, which affects high use shuttle and transit fleets more than a coach that tours seasonally.
What if we do not own a vehicle at all?
Then we can supply one. Through long standing charter partnerships we source motorcoaches, mini buses, sprinter vans and entertainer coaches with professional drivers, wrap them and deliver them staged and ready for your first market. For a touring campaign this turns a complicated procurement exercise into a single purchase order.
