How Much Does a Sprinter Van with Driver Cost in Toronto?
Transparent rates for executive group transport. Hourly from $172, daily from $860. No hidden fees.
Last week, a Toronto event planner called our office in frustration. She had been quoted wildly different prices for a simple airport transfer for 12 executives—ranging from $400 to $1,200. “I just want to know,” she asked, “what is the actual market rate for a Sprinter van with a driver in this city?”
It’s a fair question. The Sprinter van service market is filled with brokers, part-time operators, and premium fleets, all pricing differently. Some hide fuel surcharges; others charge per person. At Chauffeuropolis, we believe in transparency. The baseline for a professional, commercially insured 14-passenger Mercedes Sprinter in Toronto is $172 per hour with a 5-hour minimum, or flat rates starting at $650 for regional transfers.
This guide breaks down exactly what you pay for, comparing the cost of a Sprinter against standard sedans and SUVs, and detailing the specific pricing for popular routes like Blue Mountain and Niagara. No fluff, just the numbers you need to budget for your corporate event, wedding, or family trip.

The Per-Person Math: Why Sprinters Win
When you break down the cost for a group of 12-14, the Sprinter often beats ride-shares and trains.
Example: Toronto to Blue Mountain
Group of 12 Skiers with Gear
- • Option A (3 SUVs): $450 x 3 = $1,350 total ($112/person). Plus 3 drivers are tired.
- • Option B (Sprinter): $810 flat rate. $67.50 per person.
Savings: $540 + Peace of Mind.
Example: Wedding Shuttle
Bridal Party of 14, 6 Hours
- • Hourly Rate: $175/hr x 6 hours = $1,050.
- • Per Person: $75 for the entire day.
Result: Safe, coordinated transport for less than the cost of a dinner.
