A passenger van (or window van) is a van fitted with rows of bench seats.

They can be found on the used market retired from churches, city transit systems, school districts, etc.

• PRO
  • maintenance records more likely to be available than with cargo vans.
  • bench seat floor fittings can be used for tiedowns
  • often found in extended lengths
• CON
  • finished (if minimal) interior would probably have to be removed for the van build
  • many large windows to be covered for privacy, or insulation
  • less stealthy than a white cargo van
