Pickup & delivery in New York
We offer multiple pickup locations across the New York 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
The busiest windows are event weekends and the summer travel season. If your Hudson Valley date is fixed, reserve as soon as you know your headcount — changing the number of passengers later is easier than finding a second van the week of the trip.
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 Upstate NY at night. Coverage options, mileage, and fees are all itemized before you confirm.
Trip planning for Hudson Valley
Groups visiting Hudson Valley tell us the same thing: splitting into cars is what ruins the day. One Sprinter keeps the schedule simple — one pickup time in New York, one drop-off point at Upstate NY, one return trip when you're ready to leave.
Drop-off, parking and pickup at Hudson Valley
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 Upstate NY 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
Choose 12 seats when you're carrying luggage, coolers, instruments, or event gear; that last row of space behind the seats is what makes it work. Choose 15 seats when headcount matters more than cargo — a straight hotel-to-Hudson Valley shuttle where everyone is carrying a jacket and a phone.
Questions about renting a Sprinter for Hudson Valley
Do I need a special license to drive a 15-passenger van to Hudson Valley?
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 Hudson Valley?
Yes, in surface lots and oversized-vehicle areas around Upstate NY. 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 New York?
Delivery is available in most of the New York 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 Hudson Valley 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.
