8 Passenger Sprinter Van Rental

A local corporate team recently booked an 8 passenger sprinter van for a full-day leadership retreat. The group was picked up at their headquarters in Ankeny and transported to the Des Moines Marriott Downtown (700 Grand Ave, Des Moines, IA 50309) via I-35 South. During the 10-hour weekday rental, the team utilized the onboard WiFi and 110V power outlets to finalize their quarterly presentations while bypassing the heavy congestion near the University Avenue exit. The van dropped them off directly at the 7th Street entrance for easy access to the ballroom. The total for this 10-hour weekday rental was $1,350, covering the customized route and all high-output climate control features throughout the summer heat.

A group of friends booked a weekend daytime rental for a golf outing at Echo Valley Country Club (3150 Echo Valley Dr, Des Moines, IA 50321). Starting in Johnston, the van used Iowa Highway 141 and I-80 to reach the course. The deep rear cargo space in the 170 Extended chassis easily handled eight sets of golf clubs and several large coolers, keeping the main cabin clutter-free. The group relaxed in the reclining captain's chairs with leg lifts during the 40-minute drive. This 6-hour Saturday daytime rental was billed at $205 per hour, resulting in a total of $1,230. The passengers arrived together right at the clubhouse entrance, avoiding the walk from the overflow parking lots.
