Both seat up to 16 passengers but the Mercedes Sprinter has a raised roof and longer wheelbase, giving significantly more headroom, legroom, and luggage space. The Sprinter is the better choice for long-distance journeys, airport transfers with multiple hold bags, or any trip where passenger comfort over several hours matters.

Minibus hire prices depend on the vehicle size, journey distance, and date. We always provide a fixed all-inclusive quote before you book — no hidden extras. WhatsApp or call us with your journey details and we'll turn a quote around quickly. Split between a group of 16, minibus hire is almost always cheaper per person than individual taxis.
