Pickup & delivery in Phoenix
We offer multiple pickup locations across the Phoenix 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
Passenger van supply in Phoenix is tight around big dates at Sedona — championship games, festival weekends, graduations and holiday weekends all pull from the same small fleet pool. Two to four weeks ahead is comfortable for a normal weekend; six to eight weeks is realistic for a marquee event.
Who can drive, and what's included
Any licensed driver who meets the age requirement can drive the van to Sedona; 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 Phoenix runs long.
How to plan the drive to Sedona
Most groups heading to Sedona book a single pickup window, load everyone at one address in Phoenix, and drive in together. A 12 or 15-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter replaces three or four separate cars, which means one parking pass instead of four, one arrival time instead of four, and one bill to split at the end of the night.
Arriving at Sedona in a full-size van
The practical routine at Sedona is drop first, park second. Pull to the passenger drop-off area at Northern AZ, let everyone out with their gear, then take the van to a surface lot or oversized-vehicle area. On busy event days, arriving 45–60 minutes early makes the difference between a five-minute walk and a twenty-minute one.
Sizing the van for your group
If your group is flying into Phoenix and going straight to Sedona, 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.
Questions about renting a Sprinter for Sedona
Do I need a special license to drive a 15-passenger van to Sedona?
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 Sedona?
Yes, in surface lots and oversized-vehicle areas around Northern AZ. 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 Phoenix?
Delivery is available in most of the Phoenix 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 Sedona 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.
