Sprinter van seating capacity runs from 7 to 15 passengers including the driver. The three configurations you'll be offered in practice are the 12-passenger factory van, the 15-passenger extended shuttle, and the 7-to-12 seat executive conversion. Each one buys capacity with something else — usually luggage space or per-seat comfort.
This page compares all three on the metrics that decide a real trip: how many people, how many bags, and how comfortable hour four will be.

Capacity comparison
- 12-passenger — 11 passengers plus driver, 5–6 checked bags in the rear bay
- 15-passenger — 14 passengers plus driver, effectively no luggage bay
- Executive 10-seat — 9 passengers plus driver, reclining chairs, table, real legroom
- Luxury 7-seat — lounge layout with the most space per person
Capacity is not the same as comfort
A 15-seat van at full capacity for six hours is a very different experience from the same van carrying nine people. If your trip is long, book one size up in space rather than exactly to headcount — the marginal cost is small compared to the comfort gain.
Carrying luggage at maximum capacity
Add a tow hitch at booking and pull a cargo trailer behind a 15-seat van. It's the only way to have both full seating and full luggage in one vehicle, and it costs far less than a second van and driver.
