Sprinter high roof is the roof option that gives the van its reputation. Interior height reaches about 6'3", so passengers board through the sliding door and walk upright to their seat rather than ducking through a low opening. Almost every passenger, shuttle, and executive Sprinter you will ride in is a high-roof build.
The trade-off is exterior height: roughly 9'4" at the roofline, which is taller than most parking structures allow.
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.
Roof options at a glance

- High roof — about 6'3" inside, standing height
- Super-high roof — rare, mostly RV and specialty conversions
How high roof changes the trip
Boarding a full 12- or 15-person group takes noticeably less time when nobody has to crouch. Wedding parties keep their dresses and suits clean. Passengers can reach overhead storage and rear climate vents without contortion. And on long drives, the taller cabin simply feels less cramped.
Clearance planning
- Most parking garages cap near 7 feet — plan surface parking
- Hotel portico clearances vary; confirm before arrival
- Drive-throughs and car washes are typically off-limits
- Standard highway and bridge clearances are never an issue
Pairing roof height with wheelbase
High roof is available on the 144-inch, 170-inch, and 170 extended wheelbases. Pick the roof for comfort and the wheelbase for seats and luggage — a high-roof 170 extended gives you both standing height and a real rear luggage bay.
Sprinter high roof — frequently asked questions
How tall is a Sprinter high roof inside?
Roughly 6'3", enough for most adults to stand fully upright.
Will a high-roof Sprinter fit in a parking garage?
Usually not. At about 9'4" it exceeds typical 7-foot garage clearances.
Is high roof available on every wheelbase?
Yes — 144-inch, 170-inch, and 170 extended all offer a high-roof body.
Does the high roof hurt fuel economy?
Slightly on the highway from added frontal area, but the difference is small relative to the comfort gain.
