Choosing the right vehicle for a group trip comes down to two numbers: how many passengers are traveling and how much luggage they are bringing. Get the vehicle wrong and the group ends up paying for two vehicles when one would have done the job. This guide covers the vehicle capacity of every vehicle type in the fleet — sedan, SUV, Sprinter van, stretch limousine, and coach.

Sedan and Black Car Capacity

Executive Sedan — Up to 3 Passengers

The Lincoln Continental, BMW 740i, and Mercedes S-550 each accommodate up to 3 passengers with 2 to 3 bags. The cabin is designed for a quiet, private environment — the preferred choice for solo business travelers, airport pickups, and executive travel where comfort and presentation matter.

Cadillac XT6 — Up to 4 Passengers

The Cadillac XT6 accommodates up to 4 passengers with 3 bags — bridging the gap between standard sedan and full-size SUV. The right choice when a group of four needs the finish of a sedan with slightly more capacity.

Passengers: 3 (Lincoln Continental, BMW 740i, Mercedes S-550) | 4 (Cadillac XT6). Luggage: 2–3 bags. Best for: solo executive travel, airport pickups, corporate meetings, black car service.

SUV Capacity

Full-Size SUV — Up to 5 Passengers

The Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade ESV accommodate up to 5 passengers with 4 bags — the most versatile vehicle in the fleet. Luxury SUVs are the most requested vehicle type for airport transportation due to luggage space and passenger comfort on longer routes.

For late-night arrivals and early departures from John Wayne Airport, LAX, or Long Beach Airport, the SUV is the standard recommendation for groups of three to five passengers with full-size checked luggage.

Passengers: 5. Luggage: 4 bags. Best for: family airport transfers, small corporate groups, sporting events, wedding party transportation.

Sprinter Van Capacity

Shuttle Sprinter — Up to 14 Passengers

The Shuttle Sprinter accommodates 14 passengers with 12 bags — the most luggage-efficient Sprinter configuration. Popular for group airport transfers, corporate shuttle programs, and event transportation where luggage volume is high.

Executive Luxury Sprinter — Up to 13 Passengers

The Executive Luxury Sprinter seats 13 passengers with 12 bags and a premium interior. The preferred choice for corporate groups who want executive-grade comfort in a group vehicle.

Limo Sprinter — Up to 14 Passengers

The Limo Sprinter seats 14 passengers with 7 bags, with a limousine-style interior. Popular for bachelorette parties, graduation groups, and special occasions where ambience matters more than luggage volume.

All Sprinter configurations stay within the 15-passenger threshold for standard commercial licensing in California. Passengers: 13–14. Best for: bachelorette parties, corporate groups, campus tours, group airport transfers, event transportation.

How to Choose the Right Vehicle for Your Group

Decision Framework by Passenger Count

The right vehicle comes down to passenger count, luggage requirements, and the purpose of the trip.

• 1 to 3 passengers, standard luggage — Executive sedan. Lincoln Continental, BMW 740i, or Mercedes S-550.

• 4 passengers or luggage-heavy group of 3 — Cadillac XT6 or full-size SUV.

• 5 passengers with full luggage — Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon, or Cadillac Escalade ESV.

• 6 to 14 passengers — Sprinter van. Choose Shuttle for luggage priority, Limo Sprinter for interior finish.

• Special occasion groups of 10 — Chrysler 300 Stretch Limo.

• Special occasion groups of 12 to 18 — Hummer Stretch Limo.

• 15 or more passengers — Luxury coach. Scale to the group size.

For groups where luggage volume is unclear, contact the reservation team with passenger count and a description of the bags. The exact number depends on bag size — the team will confirm the right configuration before the reservation is finalized.
