Sprinter Van Rental New Orleans is best for groups of 10 to 14 who want to travel together in one chauffeured vehicle — convention delegations shuttling between CBD hotels and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, corporate offsites across the Warehouse District and Metairie, and wedding parties in the French Quarter and Garden District. Detailed Drivers books the Sprinter by the hour from an engine-priced rate card, with the chauffeur waiting between every stop instead of leaving someone in your group to drive the city's one-way streets and I-10.
For events, the Sprinter pairs with limo service in New Orleans; for client teams it runs alongside chauffeur service in New Orleans and executive black car service in New Orleans. It is one tier on the car service in New Orleans hub, most group days start with a New Orleans airport car service arrival at MSY car service, and it complements full-day hourly chauffeur hire and corporate travel in New Orleans. You can reserve online.

Is a Sprinter better than a taxi, streetcar, or driving for a group?
| Option | What happens with a New Orleans group | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Detailed Drivers | One Sprinter keeps 10–14 together with a chauffeur waiting between stops; set hourly estimate, no surge. | Conventions, corporate offsites, weddings, teams. |
| Multiple Ubers | Splits a group across 3–4 cars that arrive separately and surge independently during Mardi Gras and Essence Festival. | Two or three people on a flexible schedule. |
| Taxi | No group capacity, no waiting between stops, no pre-booked itinerary for a wedding or convention. | Short solo trips. |
| Streetcar | The St. Charles and Canal streetcars are scenic but slow, with no luggage room and fixed routes — impractical for groups on a schedule. | Solo sightseeing on a fixed route. |
| Rental van (self-drive) | Someone in the group has to drive, park, and stay sober — and handle the French Quarter's one-way streets and parade-day closures. | Self-drive trips where a member will drive. |

Corporate groups, conventions, and weddings — chauffeured, not self-drive
Corporate offsites and convention shuttles
New Orleans is an energy and healthcare hub — Entergy, Ochsner Health, Pan-American Life, and Shell all run group travel here. A chauffeured Sprinter keeps a client team or executive group together from one pickup, while a professional driver handles I-10, the Pontchartrain Expressway, and the French Quarter's one-way grid instead of leaving an employee to drive. For conventions at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center — the medical, energy, and tech shows that fill 900 Convention Center Boulevard — the Sprinter runs hotel-to-venue shuttles all day, with the chauffeur waiting between sessions so the team isn't hunting for surge rides between meetings.
Festival, college, and group transport
Mardi Gras parade groups want to ride together between viewing spots on St. Charles and Napoleon Avenues, dinner on Magazine Street, and the French Quarter — one van, one chauffeur, no one separated in the crowds. Jazz Fest groups run to the Fair Grounds Race Course in Mid-City with timed post-set pickups, and Essence Festival and Saints crowds shuttle to the Caesars Superdome with staggered hotel departures. The same van moves college and Greek-life groups for Tulane and Loyola, and Sugar Bowl hospitality, all on no-surge hourly blocks.
Weddings and group airport travel
For French Quarter and Garden District weddings, one Sprinter carries the wedding party between the ceremony, the reception, and the hotel — 10 to 14 guests in a climate-controlled, deeply tinted cabin, critical in the New Orleans summer heat. For plantation weddings at Oak Alley or Nottoway, the Sprinter shuttles guest groups along the Great River Road. For airport pickups, the Sprinter collects an arriving team at Louis Armstrong (MSY) and keeps the group together to a Convention Center, French Quarter, or CBD address. Booking in advance secures the vehicle and the engine price for the date, so the cost is set before the journey.
Note: Detailed Drivers provides chauffeured Sprinter service, not self-drive van rental. Every Sprinter comes with a professional driver.
