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.
When to reserve for Universal Orlando Resort
Book early for anything on the Universal Orlando Resort calendar that draws a crowd. Fifteen-passenger vans are the first category to sell out in Orlando because there simply aren't many of them. For a regular weekday trip, a few days' notice is usually fine.
Driver requirements and rental terms
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 Orlando, FL at night. Coverage options, mileage, and fees are all itemized before you confirm.
Planning group transport to Universal Orlando Resort
The easiest way to handle Universal Orlando Resort is to treat the van as your group's home base for the day. Everyone meets at one spot in Orlando, bags and gear go in the back, and the same vehicle takes you from the hotel to Orlando, FL and back again when the event ends.
Parking and drop-off near Universal Orlando Resort
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 Orlando, FL, 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.
How much fits in the van
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 Universal Orlando Resort without checked bags.
Questions about renting a Sprinter for Universal Orlando Resort
Do I need a special license to drive a 15-passenger van to Universal Orlando Resort?
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 Universal Orlando Resort?
Yes, in surface lots and oversized-vehicle areas around Orlando, 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 Universal Orlando Resort 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.
