A 12 seater van is the practical middle ground between a people mover and a coach. It is big enough for a full team, a large family or a group airport run, but still parks in a normal bay and fits in a standard car space. Our 12-seater is hired from the Seven Hills depot in Western Sydney and comes with unlimited kilometres, so a run to Canberra or a weekend on the South Coast costs the same as driving around Blacktown.
The 12-seater in our fleet is a Toyota Hiace Commuter, automatic and diesel. It is a proper passenger van rather than a converted cargo vehicle: forward-facing seats for twelve, a high roof you can stand up in, and enough floor space at the back for luggage, eskies, sports gear or a pram.
Every hire includes unlimited kilometres, basic insurance with a standard excess, and 24/7 NRMA roadside assistance anywhere in Australia.
Most of our 12-seater bookings fall into a few groups:
Sports clubs and school groups travelling to games and carnivals without paying coach rates.
Airport runs for larger groups, where two cars and two drivers is more hassle than one van.
Family reunions and weddings, moving a group between the ceremony, photos and reception.
Trades and event crews, carrying both a team and their equipment.
Weekend trips where the group wants one vehicle and one driver.
Unlimited kilometres as standard
Basic insurance with a standard excess
24/7 NRMA roadside assistance
Same-day pickup when a van is available
Free parking at the depot while you are on hire
The depot is at 5/16 Anvil Road, Seven Hills NSW 2147, about 15 minutes from Parramatta via the M4 and roughly half an hour from the Sydney CBD outside peak hour. It is an easy run from Blacktown, Castle Hill, Penrith, Liverpool and the Hills.
To collect, bring a full Australian driver licence, a credit card in the main driver's name and your booking reference. Drivers must be 25 or over.
If your group is twelve or fewer and you are happy to drive, the 12 seater van is almost always the cheaper option, and it gives you the flexibility to change plans on the day. Once you are past twelve passengers, or you would rather not drive, our 22-seater Toyota Coaster with a driver is the better fit. If you are not sure which way to go, call us and we will talk through the trip.
Twelve seats in total, so a full sports team, a large family or a group airport run travels together in one vehicle instead of splitting across two or three cars.
Most customers hire our 12 seater on a full Australian car licence. Requirements can depend on how the van is registered, so if you are unsure, call us on 1800 872 699 before you book and we will confirm.

From Enquiring to actually going ahead with the Rental, I could say I’ll definitely be going through T-Ranz Rentals again. Service was amazing, and actually glad I found this awesome Rental company. The car we hired for our Trip was AMAZING, Especially with the boot space which was a Bonus! Driving the car we hired was just so smooth to drive from Sydney to Brisbane and back and better yet the price was so worth it. Our Next trip will definitely be going through T-Ranz again 👌🏽

Best customer service. 12 seater toyota hiace was like brand new and the price is very affordable with unlimited kms. They were understandable when we came half an hour late. Will definitely use next time
I rented a 12 seater mini bus for 2 weeks to drive around my visiting relatives around Sydney. The bus was practically new and the rates were the cheapest around. They were a pleasure to deal with. I also rented a 22 seater with a driver for a day. They service was outstanding.
Easy to talk to, quick, reliable and fast transaction. They’re one of the few rental companies that gives unlimited kilometers. This is crucial for interstate travels. Rented a 12 seater van and it has no issues. Pick up is easy too in Seven Hills. Highly recommended.
