Sprinter vans hold 7 to 15 people including the driver, depending on how the interior was built. The standard Mercedes-Benz passenger van holds 12, extended shuttle builds hold 15, and executive or luxury conversions hold 7 to 12 in larger seats.
Below are the exact counts, plus the two things that quietly reduce them: hiring a chauffeur and bringing luggage.
Everything here is booked through My Van Rentals — the largest van rental platform in the United States, so you get one quote, one contract, and one support line no matter which city you're in.
The counts
- Passenger Sprinter — 12 occupants including the driver
- Extended shuttle Sprinter — 15 occupants including the driver
- Executive conversion — 7 to 12 occupants
- Luxury lounge conversion — 7 to 10 occupants
Two things that lower the number
- A chauffeur occupies one seat — subtract one from your group capacity
- Checked luggage occupies the rear bay — a 15-seater loses it entirely
