Sprinter Van Rental in Dallas, and the Van That Does the Same Job for Less
Most people who search for a Sprinter just need to move a group. Here is how the Mercedes Sprinter compares to our 12-passenger Ford Transit, so you can pick the right one.
The short answer: We rent 12-passenger Ford Transit vans across the Dallas–Fort Worth area from $165 per day. For a self-drive group trip, the Transit is the direct alternative to a Mercedes Sprinter passenger van. It seats a similar-size group, runs on regular gasoline instead of diesel, and usually costs less per day. Delivery across DFW is available for a reasonable fee. If you specifically need a luxury Sprinter with captain's chairs and a chauffeur, that is a car service rather than a self-drive rental.
“The van was as described, we took it down to Pensacola FL and back from Allen texas, everyone loved it. I am saving them as my favorite rental company for our future rentals!”

Ford Transit vs. Mercedes Sprinter
Both are full-size vans built to carry a group. For a self-drive rental, the practical differences come down to cost, fuel, and how each one is usually equipped.
| Ford Transit (our fleet) | Mercedes Sprinter | |
|---|---|---|
| Passenger seating | 12 seats | Commonly 12 to 15 seats |
| Typical daily rate | From $165 | Often higher |
| Fuel | Regular gasoline | Usually diesel |
| Best for | Self-drive group trips and road trips | Luxury and chauffeured executive travel |
| Driving feel | Car-like, familiar to most drivers | Taller, longer, more truck-like |
| Availability in DFW | Direct online booking | Limited, often through car services |
If your trip is a group of people getting from one place to another, whether that is the airport, a wedding, a game, or a weekend away, the Transit does that job at a lower daily rate. The reason to hold out for a Sprinter specifically is a premium or chauffeured experience, and that is a different kind of booking. Moving a larger group? See our 15-passenger van rental options.
One thing to know up front
We are a self-drive rental. You drive the van yourself or bring your own driver. We do not provide a chauffeur, and we are not a luxury or executive car service. If that is what you need, a Sprinter car service is the better fit. If you want to drive a full-size passenger van for less, keep reading.

Common questions
Where can I rent a Sprinter van in Dallas?
We rent 12-passenger Ford Transit vans across DFW from $165 per day. For most group trips the Transit is the direct alternative to a Sprinter passenger van: same-size group, lower daily rate, regular gasoline. Delivery across DFW is available for a reasonable fee. For a chauffeured luxury Sprinter, a car service is the better fit.
What is the difference between a Ford Transit and a Mercedes Sprinter?
Both are full-size vans for moving groups. A 12-passenger Transit and a 12-passenger Sprinter seat a similar group. The Transit runs on gasoline and usually rents for less, while diesel Sprinters carry higher rates and show up more often in luxury configurations. For a self-drive trip, the Transit covers the same need for less.
Is a Ford Transit as good as a Sprinter for a road trip?
For a self-drive group road trip, yes. Our Transits have wireless CarPlay, front and rear air conditioning, blind-spot monitoring, and an unlimited-mileage option. Past renters have taken them to Destin, Broken Bow, Branson, and Port Aransas. The reason to insist on a Sprinter is a luxury or chauffeured need, which is separate.
Do you rent luxury or executive Sprinter vans with a driver?
We are self-drive, not a chauffeur or livery service. Our vans are 12-passenger Ford Transits you drive yourself or with your own driver. For a chauffeured executive Sprinter, a car service is the right choice.
How much does a Sprinter-style van rental cost in Dallas?
Our 12-passenger Transits start at $165 per day with 250 miles per day included and an unlimited option for road trips. Pickup is in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and delivery across DFW is available for a reasonable added fee. Diesel Sprinter rentals from other providers commonly run higher per day.
