The short answer
Limo Sprinter or executive Sprinter: which one?
Pick a limo Sprinter if the ride is part of the fun, and an executive Sprinter if the ride is how you get somewhere.
Both come in 8, 10, 12 and 14 seats, both let you stand up inside, and both fit places a bus cannot. Twelve is one of the sizes we get asked for most, so the 12-passenger limo Sprinter is a sensible place to start for a celebration, and the 14-passenger executive Sprinter for a team travelling with bags.
For groups of ten or fewer, the Sprinter limo is the Valley default — more than half of everything we quote at that size. You get the headroom without paying for rows nobody sits in.
All 8 Sprinters
Four limo Sprinters and four executive Sprinters. Tap one for photos and what is on board.

8-Passenger Limo Sprinter
Stand-up headroom for eight, with LED lighting and a cooler bar. Small nights out, easy curbs.

10-Passenger Limo Sprinter
Ten seats in a tall cabin you can stand up in — brunch-to-Old-Town bachelorette days.

12-Passenger Limo Sprinter
Twelve seats with a flat-screen and wood-and-leather finishes for groups that move around.

14-Passenger Limo Sprinter
The largest Limo Sprinter we run: surround sound, a rear lounge and room for fourteen.

8-Passenger Executive Sprinter
Eight forward-facing seats, Wi-Fi and outlets. A quiet cabin for a small team, not a party.

10-Passenger Executive Sprinter
Ten seats for a client team that needs to keep talking between Sky Harbor and Scottsdale.

12-Passenger Executive Sprinter
Twelve seats with real row space, for board-level groups and conference hotel shuttles.

14-Passenger Executive Sprinter
Our largest executive Sprinter: fourteen seats, extra legroom and power everywhere.
Phoenix Party Bus data
Where Sprinters fit in the Valley
Small groups are where a Sprinter wins, and these numbers show by how much.
12
These are Sprinter-limo and small-party-bus groups. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo or a 16–18 passenger party bus covers most of them.
38%
Small groups decide late and usually still find a limo or Sprinter. Big groups do not have that luxury.
23 days
Small groups decide late. Limos and Sprinters for a weekend night are often requested inside three weeks.
$900
Split ten ways, a typical small-group quote has historically worked out to roughly $90 a person, with the driver's gratuity already included.

How to choose
Two cabins, one van: how to choose
Most Valley groups are under fifteen people, and that whole range is Sprinter territory. The seat count rarely settles it.
What settles it is what everyone will be doing while the wheels are turning.
A night out? Limo Sprinter
The limo Sprinter turns everyone toward each other, with color-changing lights, Bluetooth sound and a cooler for whatever you bring aboard.
Eight friends flying in for a Scottsdale weekend fit the 8-passenger limo Sprinter. The typical bachelorette group is twelve, which wants the 12 or the 14-passenger limo Sprinter — the 14 adds a rear lounge and surround sound.
One thing worth knowing: Friday, not Saturday, is the top night for bachelor and bachelorette trips here. If your group has plans both nights, ask us about both.
Airports and clients? Executive Sprinter
The executive Sprinter is quiet and forward-facing, with armrests, a flat-screen, Wi-Fi and an outlet at every seat.
It is the right vehicle for a leadership team landing at Sky Harbor, a client dinner in Scottsdale, or three golf foursomes heading out to a morning tee time. Start with the 10-passenger executive Sprinter for a small team.
Moving more than one vehicle's worth of people? The corporate transportation guide covers how those days get put together.

Wineries and day trips: either one
For a Verde Valley tasting day or a brewery loop closer to home, it comes down to mood rather than seats.
The limo Sprinter keeps the conversation going between stops. The executive Sprinter is far kinder on a two-hour highway stretch, when people want to face forward and nap on the way back. Our wine tour guide covers realistic pacing for both.
When should we move up to a bus?
At 11 to 15 riders it is close to a coin flip, so trust the group rather than the headcount. Both answers are defensible.
Stay in the Sprinter if you are at 14 or under and you value easy parking and a cozy cabin. Move to the 16-passenger party bus if you are at 14 with maybes outstanding, or the 20-passenger party bus if people want a dance floor.

On the road in the Valley
Why a Sprinter is the easy one in Phoenix

Count bags like people
A Sprinter's seat count assumes people, not luggage. For an airport run, tell us how many checked bags and golf bags are coming. Two empty seats often solve it; sometimes the next size up does.
It goes where buses can't
Old Town alleys, Arcadia restaurant lots, Paradise Valley driveways, winery gravel roads — all of it is simpler in something van-length.
If your night includes a house pickup in a gated neighborhood, or a restaurant with valet only, a Sprinter saves you the walk from wherever a 30-foot bus would have had to stop.
Small groups book late. Spring still fills
Groups of ten or fewer usually call about three weeks ahead, and plenty call inside the final week. Through the summer that is rarely a problem.
February through May is a different story. Those four months hold close to half the year's requested dates, with the Phoenix Open, spring training and bachelorette season stacked on top of each other.
Coming out for baseball? The spring training guide shows how a Sprinter handles a two-ballpark day.
What does it usually cost?
Small-group trips here have historically quoted around $900, and a little over $1,200 once you are at 11 to 15 people. Split ten ways, that first number is about $90 each, gratuity included.
Those are past quotes, not a price list, and Saturdays have run higher than the rest of the week. Use the cost estimator for a rough figure, then send us your date for the real one.
