Pickup & delivery in Chicago
We offer multiple pickup locations across the Chicago metro. Once your vehicle is assigned, we'll provide the exact pickup address — typically within 24 hours of booking. Delivery is available in most cases; if the delivery address is more than 25 miles from our pickup location there may be additional charges.
Parking and drop-off near Lake Geneva
A 12 or 15-passenger Sprinter is a full-size vehicle: plan on roughly 22–24 feet of length and about 9 to 10 feet of height on the high-roof models. Most surface lots around Southeast Wisconsin take it without any trouble; older parking structures with posted clearance bars under 7 feet do not. When in doubt, use surface parking or a designated bus and oversized-vehicle lot, and check the venue's event-day parking page before you leave.
How much fits in the van
The 12-passenger Sprinter keeps a deep cargo area behind the last row — roughly 7 to 8 suitcases plus day bags — which suits groups arriving from the airport with luggage. The 15-passenger layout trades that space for an extra bench, so it works best when people travel light or you're moving between hotel and Lake Geneva without checked bags.
Booking windows and event dates
Reserve as soon as your Lake Geneva tickets are confirmed. Rates move with demand, and the calendar around Southeast Wisconsin fills from the outside in: weekends first, then the days on either side. Midweek trips stay available much longer.
What comes with the rental
A regular driver's license is all that's required. We recommend naming two drivers for longer trips so you can swap on the way back from Southeast Wisconsin at night. Coverage options, mileage, and fees are all itemized before you confirm.
Trip planning for Lake Geneva
Groups visiting Lake Geneva tell us the same thing: splitting into cars is what ruins the day. One Sprinter keeps the schedule simple — one pickup time in Chicago, one drop-off point at Southeast Wisconsin, one return trip when you're ready to leave.
Questions about renting a Sprinter for Lake Geneva
Do I need a special license to drive a 15-passenger van to Lake Geneva?
No. A standard driver's license is sufficient for a 12 or 15-passenger van in the United States. A commercial license is only required for vehicles built for 16 or more passengers.
Can a Sprinter park at Lake Geneva?
Yes, in surface lots and oversized-vehicle areas around Southeast Wisconsin. Avoid parking structures with clearance bars under about 10 feet, since high-roof Sprinters won't fit.
How many suitcases fit if we're coming from the airport?
The 12-passenger layout holds roughly 7 to 8 large suitcases plus carry-ons behind the rear bench. The 15-passenger layout uses that space for an extra row, so it suits groups travelling light.
Can you deliver the van instead of us picking it up in Chicago?
Delivery is available in most of the Chicago metro. Addresses more than 25 miles from the pickup location may carry an additional delivery charge, which is quoted before you book.
What happens if the event at Lake Geneva runs late?
The van is yours for the full rental day, so there's no waiting driver and no surge pricing when you leave. Extend the rental at checkout if your return trip falls on the following day.
