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.
Licensing, insurance and mileage
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 Near West Side, Chicago, IL at night. Coverage options, mileage, and fees are all itemized before you confirm.
Getting your group to United Center without the logistics headache
A trip to United Center usually breaks into three moves: collect the group, drive to Near West Side, Chicago, IL, and get everyone home afterwards. A high-roof Sprinter handles all three, with standing-height access, a full luggage area behind the last row, and enough seats that nobody has to drive separately.
Drop-off, parking and pickup at United Center
Treat the Sprinter like an oversized vehicle when you plan parking at United Center. Drop the group at the main entrance first, then park — that keeps everyone out of the weather and shortens the walk. Surface lots and bus areas near Near West Side, Chicago, IL are the safest bets; low-clearance garages are not.
Seats, luggage and gear for United Center
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 United Center without checked bags.
Reserving around the United Center calendar
For a standard trip, a week or two ahead is plenty. For a wedding, a conference, or a sold-out night at United Center, treat the van like the venue itself and lock it in as early as you can.
Questions about renting a Sprinter for United Center
Do I need a special license to drive a 15-passenger van to United Center?
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 United Center?
Yes, in surface lots and oversized-vehicle areas around Near West Side, Chicago, IL. 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 United Center 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.
