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.
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 Madison Square Garden
Groups visiting Madison Square Garden 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 Midtown Manhattan, NY, one return trip when you're ready to leave.
Arriving at Madison Square Garden in a full-size van
Treat the Sprinter like an oversized vehicle when you plan parking at Madison Square Garden. 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 Midtown Manhattan, NY are the safest bets; low-clearance garages are not.
Sizing the van for your group
If your group is flying into New York and going straight to Madison Square Garden, the 12-passenger configuration is usually the right call — it leaves a genuine luggage bay behind the rear bench. For local groups already checked into a hotel, the 15-passenger van gets three more people in the same vehicle.
Reserving around the Madison Square Garden calendar
Reserve as soon as your Madison Square Garden tickets are confirmed. Rates move with demand, and the calendar around Midtown Manhattan, NY fills from the outside in: weekends first, then the days on either side. Midweek trips stay available much longer.
Questions about renting a Sprinter for Madison Square Garden
Do I need a special license to drive a 15-passenger van to Madison Square Garden?
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 Madison Square Garden?
Yes, in surface lots and oversized-vehicle areas around Midtown Manhattan, 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 Madison Square Garden 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.
