Private Vans: when a Sprinter saves money (and sanity) for your group
Who this is for
Groups of 8–14 travelers—families, wedding parties, corporate crews—moving between DIA/EGE/FBO and Vail/Beaver Creek who want an easy, door-to-door ride with all the gear onboard and one clean schedule.
The problem
Two or three SUVs mean staggered arrivals, split luggage, and more curb time at hotel valets. Winter adds traction rules and tighter staging. Coordination gets noisy fast—especially with kids, skis, and dinner reservations.
The solution: a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
One Sprinter consolidates people, skis, and timing into a single plan: non-stop, door-to-door, one driver, one schedule. It’s built for groups and big luggage, with walk-in height and easy loading.
Fleet options: Sprinter (two configurations), plus Cadillac Escalade ESV and 2023 GMC Yukon XL Denali for support vehicles when needed. Onboard: Wi-Fi, bottled water; child seats on request. Winter tires and experienced mountain drivers are standard.
When Sprinter beats multiple SUVs (break-even logic)
8–10 guests + ski bags: a single Sprinter often replaces two SUVs, keeping everyone together and cargo inside.
11–14 guests, mixed luggage: Sprinter + 1 SUV for overflow beats three SUVs on coordination and curb time.
Event nights: Sprinter loops reduce “wait-in-the-cold” moments vs. shuttles with long routes.
Airport runs: one vehicle = one Meet & Greet, one load, one departure.
Quick test: if your headcount needs ≥2 SUVs, ask for a Sprinter quote. Many itineraries price more efficiently per person once you consolidate.
What “door-to-door” includes
Private, non-shared routing on your schedule
Inside loading for skis/boards and duffels; we handle luggage end-to-end
Meet & Greet at DIA/EGE/FBO; curbside load-out
Child seats (rear-facing/forward/booster) by request
Example group itineraries (realistic timing)
DIA → Vail (arrival day): Meet at arrivals → single load → non-stop via I-70 → valet/guest curb at your lodge.
Dinner loop (Vail/Beaver Creek): Lodge → restaurant → after-dinner pickup; driver waits & returns so no one stands outside in ski boots.
Wedding shuttle: Two short Sprinter loops hotel ↔ ceremony ↔ reception; an SUV shadows VIPs or families with small kids.
Formats & scheduling
Point-to-point: fastest for airport or single moves (hotel → dinner).
Hourly/as-directed: best for multi-stop evenings, rehearsal dinners, or event loops.
We recommend smart windows for I-70; your pickup time is confirmed against weather/traffic on the day.
Pricing & how to book
Quotes are provided in advance by route, date, and vehicle. For planning across routes, typical one-way totals run ~$250–$1400, and a 10% gratuity is included in the quote.
