We offer one of the most diverse van fleets in the industry—multiple configurations of the Ford Transit (15-passenger) and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. All vans are rear-wheel drive. See all vehicles.
  1. Ford Transit (15-Passenger)
    Available in Low, Mid, and High Roof. Tow-capable. Bluetooth and modern infotainment (including Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on most models). We can remove select seats to increase cargo space—ask your location about specifics.
  2. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (high roof; most with dedicated cargo hold)
    Configurations include Bench (12P + cargo), 15-Passenger, Crew (12P + large cargo), Deluxe (10P + cargo), Grand (12P + cargo), and Executive (10P). Many models include on-board audiovisual entertainment (TVs and video game systems) and abundant power/charging.
Yes. You can travel to any U.S. state and to Canada. See also Mexico policy.
No. Our insurance does not cover liability or collision in Mexico.
The exact amount of storage varies by van, but all vans have storage room under the seats, and most models have at least a little space behind the rear seat. If you need a lot of storage we recommend renting a van with a cargo hold, like the Sprinter Grand, Sprinter Tour Crew, or Sprinter Band Van.
Sprinter: Sprinters do not have removable seats, but several of our Sprinter models have cargo holds.
Transit: The Transits have up to six seats on three different rows that can be removed upon request.
Chevy Express: The Express has two rows of seats which we can remove to make room for cargo.
For liability reasons we always remove seats starting with the rearmost seat first.
Sprinter: Most bands fit backline and luggage in the dedicated rear cargo hold, no trailer needed.
Transit and Express: You will probably need to have seats removed to make room for equipment, or make arrangements to rent a trailer.
We rent tow hitches for most vans (advance notice required). You can use your own trailer or rent from a reputable trailer company. We don’t supply ball mounts/balls (heights and sizes vary), but trailer rental operators typically have them available.
We do not rent trailers, we only provide the tow hitch.
Fuel economy varies with load, speed, and conditions. As a general guide, diesel Sprinters often achieve low-20s mpg on highways; gas Transits are commonly in the mid-teens. Drive within the speed limit and keep tires properly inflated for best results.
Drive the speed limit. There’s a substantial fuel difference between 65 and 80 mph.
Optimize routing. Cluster shows/meetings to reduce miles and stress.
Take care of the van. We reimburse required oil changes during your rental (keep receipts). Check tire pressure regularly. If you’re unsure how, we’ll show you at pickup.
