Business travel has changed a lot in the past several years. Traditional options like a sedan for one or two executives and a motor coach for large conferences are still used. However, a new and popular option has emerged between these two categories. Luxury Sprinter vans are now being used more often in corporate transportation. Companies still need reliable transportation, but the trend is moving toward vehicles that offer a more luxurious appearance, comfort, more space, and a better travel experience for small and medium-sized groups.
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van is converted to feature luxury interior specifications. A lot of corporate travel managers and executives have not yet learned properly about the specifications of this vehicle and why it is better than anything else in its class. This guide covers what a luxury Sprinter van service is and why it has become one of the fastest-growing transportation choices in corporate travel.
What Exactly Is a Luxury Sprinter Van?
The base vehicle is the Mercedes-Benz sprinter. In its standard commercial form it is a large cargo and passenger van which is used for deliveries and commercial transport. Custom conversion companies take the standard Sprinter body and rebuild the interior from scratch. The standard commercial seats are removed entirely and replaced with leather executive seating.
The luxury sprinter van seats about 8 to 14 passengers with comfort and has large legroom with each seat. It has climate control, privacy window tinting, a premium audio system, USB and USB-C charging at the rear seats, WiFi, LED ambient lighting, foldable work tables and sometimes a small refreshment area with a refrigerator.
Why Corporate Travel Has Shifted Towards the Sprinter
The popularity of the Luxury Sprinter in corporate travel did not happen by accident. It shows the changes in how companies think about group transportation and what they expect from a vehicle.
The Perfect Choice Between Sedan and Motor Coach
There was a gap in corporate travel for years. A sedan handles one to three passengers and a motor coach handles 30 or more passengers. But what about the teams in between these sizes such as a group of 8 to 15 people? Putting eight people in two or three separate sedans means multiple vehicles, multiple drivers and the headache of coordinating everyone. A motor coach for ten people is oversized and often costs more.
The luxury Sprinter fills this gap perfectly. Eight to fourteen passengers can comfortably sit in one vehicle requiring only one driver and everyone travels together. The cost per person is also lower than using multiple sedans or a motor coach.
| Group Size | Traditional Option | Luxury Sprinter Advantage |
| 1 to 3 | Executive Sedan | Sprinter is oversized |
| 4 to 7 | 2 sedans or SUV | Sprinter fits all in one vehicle |
| 8 to 14 | 3 sedans or small bus | Sprinter is perfect — one vehicle, right size |
| 15 to 25 | Motor coach | Motor coach is more appropriate |
| 25 or more | Motor coach | Motor coach is the right tool |
Turn Travel Time Into Work Time
Corporate travel has changed in terms of how executives use travel time. The thinking that travel time is a dead time has disappeared. Now teams use flight time and car time to prepare, plan and communicate. Because of this, they need transportation that is quiet and has comfortable group seating.
A luxury Sprinter has conference style seating which allows groups to sit facing each other and have a proper work conversation. It also has fold-out tables which provide workspace for laptops or documents.
The Privacy Advantage
Privacy for executive group travel is very important. The team of executives might be discussing strategy, financials or personnel matters in the back of a vehicle. A sprinter van has a partition which separates the passengers’ cabin from the driver’s compartment. In contrast, a rideshare does not provide this facility. They have multiple unknown drivers and there is no guarantee that the discussion that is being held during the journey will not be exposed by the driver.
The First Impression It Creates
The first thing that a client or a visiting executive notices is the ground transportation sent by the company. The vehicle that picks them up from the airport tells them about the company standard before any meeting has started. A luxury sprinter with a professional uniformed chauffeur waiting at the arrival place creates a strong impression on the visitor.
What a Luxury Sprinter Van Looks Like Inside
Many people who hear about the word “van” picture a basic passenger van. But a luxury sprinter is totally different. The interior is specially designed for business travel and comfort. Common features this vehicle provides are:
- Leather seating
- Extra legroom
- Individual captain chairs
- Climate control
- Tinted windows
- Large luggage space
