Tips for Maximizing Sprinter Van Value
1. Book with Exact Passenger Count
A Sprinter van for 8 people costs the same as for 14 people ($525/3 hours). If you're expecting more passengers, confirm actual count to avoid overcrowding or wasting space.
2. Combine Hourly + Airport Flat Rates Strategically
Airport pickup ($399 flat) + 2-hour city tour (assume 2 more hours paid hourly) = $399 + $350 = $749 total. Might negotiate bundle rate if booking airport + extended service.
3. Plan Multi-Stop Routes in Advance
If visiting 3-4 venues, provide all addresses upfront. Driver can optimize routing to minimize drive time, keeping you on schedule.
4. Use for Corporate Events**
Request business account discounts (10-25% off with monthly volume). Sprinter vans often part of larger corporate transportation packages.
5. Share Costs Among Group
A $525 van for 12 people = $44/person. Have one organizer collect money upfront, pay Royal Carriage directly. Simplifies group dynamics.

- Vehicle inspections: Monthly safety audits, mechanical checks
