Pickup & delivery in Orlando
We offer multiple pickup locations across the Orlando 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.
What a Kennedy Space Center trip usually looks like
Rather than coordinating a convoy across Orlando traffic, groups going to Kennedy Space Center typically reserve one Sprinter, nominate one or two drivers, and keep everyone in the same vehicle. Nobody gets lost on the way, and nobody waits in a parking lot for a car that took a different exit.
Where to park a Sprinter at Kennedy Space Center
Sprinters clear most surface parking near Merritt Island, FL comfortably, but skip any structure with a clearance bar. Book an event parking pass in advance where available, and plan the exit route before the event ends — leaving from a lot that empties onto a side street beats sitting in the main queue.
Sizing the van for your group
Both layouts seat everyone comfortably with real shoulder room; the difference is cargo. Twelve seats leaves a large rear luggage area for suitcases, tailgate coolers and equipment. Fifteen seats fills that area with a bench, so pack accordingly for Kennedy Space Center.
Reserving around the Kennedy Space Center calendar
The busiest windows are event weekends and the summer travel season. If your Kennedy Space Center 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
Any licensed driver who meets the age requirement can drive the van to Kennedy Space Center; you don't need a CDL. You'll see your daily rate, mileage allowance, tax, and optional coverage itemized during checkout, and you can add unlimited miles if the round trip from Orlando runs long.
Questions about renting a Sprinter for Kennedy Space Center
Do I need a special license to drive a 15-passenger van to Kennedy Space 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 Kennedy Space Center?
Yes, in surface lots and oversized-vehicle areas around Merritt Island, FL. 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 Orlando?
Delivery is available in most of the Orlando 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 Kennedy Space 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.
