Vehicle category guide
Sprinter Vans
A Sprinter van is a Mercedes-Benz (or similar) high-roof van seating 8–14 passengers. Limo-style Sprinters have wrap-around seating, lighting and a bar for small celebrations; executive Sprinters have forward-facing leather seats, tables and Wi-Fi for corporate and airport transfers. Both offer standing headroom that a stretch limousine cannot.
Two very different vehicles share the Sprinter name: limo-style conversions with perimeter seating and a bar, and executive vans with forward-facing captain’s chairs. Do not compare them as one category.

Network-wide inquiry data
Comparing the group size a customer gave us with the vehicle size that was quoted, the quoted vehicle was typically about two seats larger than the group. In roughly 8% of cases the quoted vehicle was actually smaller than the stated group, and in about 23% it had five or more spare seats — a common sign the group size was still moving.

No category-specific cohort qualifies for this page, so network-wide figures are shown and labelled as such. Figures describe inquiries received across the company’s group-transportation websites and phone lines, not completed trips, and are not price quotes or availability promises. Small cohorts are suppressed and percentages are rounded.
