How Many Passengers Fit? A Full Fleet Capacity Guide
Picking the right vehicle size is mostly a math problem — passengers plus luggage, compared honestly against what each vehicle actually holds. Rather than comparing just two vehicles at a time, here's the full picture across the fleet, from a single business traveler to a group of 13.
Sedans: 1 to 3 Passengers
The Business Sedan (Mercedes E-Class) and First Class Sedan (BMW 7 Series or Mercedes S-Class) both carry 3 passengers with 2 checked bags and 2 carry-ons. The difference between them is comfort tier, not capacity — the First Class Sedan is the flagship choice for executive travel and VIP arrivals, while the Business Sedan covers the same passenger and luggage count at a more standard tier.
SUVs: 3 to 6 Passengers
The Midsize SUV (Lincoln Nautilus) carries 3 with luggage or 4 without, with 4 bags and 3 carry-ons. The Luxury SUV (Chevrolet Suburban) and Premium SUV (Cadillac Escalade) both step up to 5 passengers with luggage or 6 without, with 5 bags and 5 carry-ons each — the difference between the Suburban and Escalade is interior finish and presence rather than raw capacity.
Sprinter Vans: Up to 13 Passengers
Both the Sprinter Shuttle and Sprinter Executive carry up to 13 passengers with 13 bags and 13 carry-ons — essentially one bag per passenger, which covers most group travel scenarios without anyone splitting into a second vehicle. The Shuttle is the straightforward group-transport configuration; the Executive adds a premium interior with mood lighting for weddings, proms, corporate groups and celebrations.
Quick Reference by Group Size
Use this as a starting point, then call to confirm based on your exact luggage situation — a family of 4 with heavy luggage may still want an SUV over a sedan even though the passenger count fits either.
- 1-3 passengers, light luggage: Business Sedan or First Class Sedan
- 3-4 passengers, moderate luggage: Midsize SUV (Lincoln Nautilus)
- 5-6 passengers, full luggage: Luxury SUV (Chevrolet Suburban) or Premium SUV (Cadillac Escalade)
- Up to 13 passengers: Sprinter Shuttle or Sprinter Executive

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the biggest vehicle in the fleet?
The Mercedes Sprinter — both the Sprinter Shuttle and Sprinter Executive — carries up to 13 passengers with 13 bags.
Can a family of 4 with full luggage fit in a sedan?
It's tight — a Midsize or Luxury SUV is usually a better fit once luggage is factored in, even though 4 passengers alone could fit a sedan.
What's the difference between the Sprinter Shuttle and Sprinter Executive?
Both carry the same number of passengers and bags. The Sprinter Executive has a premium interior with mood lighting, suited to weddings, proms and corporate events.
Do I need to count carry-ons separately from checked bags?
Yes — each vehicle has a separate carry-on and checked-bag capacity. Mention both counts when booking so the right vehicle is selected.
What if my group is larger than 13?
Call to discuss booking multiple vehicles — we regularly coordinate several vehicles traveling together for larger weddings, corporate events and group trips.
