standard layout 19+1+1, extendable to 22+1+1 — luggage then travels in a trailer
Mercedes Sprinters, 15 to 22 seats — all EURO 6, all under 7.8 metres
SprinterHire runs its own fleet of Mercedes Sprinter minibuses with driver, seating 15 to 22 passengers plus driver and tour leader. Every vehicle is EURO 6, has a full leather interior, and is shorter than 7.8 metres — comfortably under the 8-metre threshold at which many European cities move a bus into a higher permit tier or ban it from the centre entirely.
Why under 8 metres matters
City fee systems price by vehicle length. A Sprinter under 8 m pays €60 instead of €97.50 to enter Milan's Area C; €80 instead of €130+ per day in San Gimignano; €285 instead of €385 per day in Florence; in Rome it qualifies for the lower “up to 8 m” permit band. On the Amalfi Coast the length limits decide access itself: Positano permanently bans buses longer than 7.70 m — our most compact Sprinter fits under that limit — and Amalfi's BusPass is cheaper below 8 m. And where a 12-metre coach must stop at a checkpoint outside town, a Sprinter can often drop your group at the hotel door. City fees →

Every vehicle is a EURO 6 Mercedes Sprinter under 7.8 metres with leather interior, seating 15 to 22 passengers plus driver and tour leader — the differences are in what each one is best at, from extra luggage room to Positano-legal compactness.
Luggage, honestly
A group's luggage is the detail that breaks minibus tours planned on seat count alone. Our 16-seat configuration has seats deliberately removed to create genuine luggage room. The 22-seat configuration requires a luggage trailer — we tell you this at quoting time, not at pick-up.
Comfort
Leather interiors, air conditioning, USB charging and comfortable touring seats across the fleet. One driver per tour — EU driving limits.
