Pickup & delivery in Los Angeles
We offer multiple pickup locations across the Los Angeles 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.
Timing your booking
For a standard trip, a week or two ahead is plenty. For a wedding, a conference, or a sold-out night at Palm Springs, treat the van like the venue itself and lock it in as early as you can.
Who can drive, and what's included
No commercial license is needed — a standard driver's license covers a 12 or 15-passenger van in every US state. Drivers must meet the minimum age on the reservation, and mileage allowances, insurance options and any young-driver fees are shown on the checkout page before you pay, so there's nothing to discover at the counter.
Trip planning for Palm Springs
Groups visiting Palm Springs tell us the same thing: splitting into cars is what ruins the day. One Sprinter keeps the schedule simple — one pickup time in Los Angeles, one drop-off point at Coachella Valley, CA, one return trip when you're ready to leave.
Drop-off, parking and pickup at Palm Springs
Height is the thing to watch. High-roof Sprinters sit near 9–10 feet tall, so covered garages with low clearance bars are out. Around Coachella Valley, CA, the reliable options are open surface lots, oversized-vehicle areas, and event-day lots that sell passes in advance. Buy the pass ahead of time when the venue offers one — it's usually cheaper and it saves circling on arrival.
Passenger and luggage space for your Palm Springs trip
Rule of thumb: 12 passengers with full luggage, or 15 passengers travelling light. High-roof models let most adults stand up inside, which makes loading gear for Palm Springs far easier than a low-roof passenger van where everything gets passed over the seats.
Questions about renting a Sprinter for Palm Springs
Do I need a special license to drive a 15-passenger van to Palm Springs?
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 Palm Springs?
Yes, in surface lots and oversized-vehicle areas around Coachella Valley, CA. 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 Los Angeles?
Delivery is available in most of the Los Angeles 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 Palm Springs 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.
