  How it works

Booked in four steps.

  1. 01

    Count heads and bags

    Confirm passenger total and luggage type — a 10-person wedding party with overnight bags fits stretch; the same group with airline suitcases needs Sprinter.

  2. 02

    Define the occasion

    Lounge seating and onboard bar favour stretch; standing headroom, easy entry, and rows of belted seats favour Sprinter.

  3. 03

    Map the route

    Multi-stop downtown nights suit stretch limo arrivals; QEW airport runs and 401 corporate shuttles suit Sprinter efficiency.

  4. 04

    Lock the flat rate

    Receive a flat-rate quote within 2 minutes — no metered surge, no surprise overage if your flight slips by 40 minutes.

  From the cabin

Riders, in their own words.

We had a wedding party of 13 heading to Pearson with full luggage. The Sprinter was the obvious call — every suitcase fit, every guest sat upright, and the chauffeur tracked our group flight in real time.

For our daughter's prom, the stretch limo was the moment. Eight girls, mood lighting, partition up — the photos at the venue were the memory, not the ride.

  FAQ

Things people usually ask.

How many passengers fit in a stretch limo versus a Sprinter van?

A stretch limo seats 8–10 passengers in lounge configuration. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van seats 12–14 in forward-facing rows with seatbelts on every seat.

Which holds more luggage — stretch limo or Sprinter van?

The Sprinter van wins decisively. It holds 12+ full suitcases plus carry-ons; a stretch limo holds 4–6 carry-ons in the rear trunk and is not designed for airline luggage.

Is a Sprinter van cheaper than a stretch limo?

Hourly rates are comparable, but on a price-per-seat basis the Sprinter is roughly half the cost for groups of 12+ — one Sprinter replaces two stretch limos.

Can a stretch limo do an airport run to Pearson?

Yes, but it is rarely the right tool. Stretch limos handle 4–6 carry-ons maximum; for groups arriving with checked luggage, a Sprinter van or two executive SUVs are more practical.

Which is safer for kids and elderly passengers?

The Sprinter van. It offers individual forward-facing seats with three-point seatbelts, a side step for easy entry, and 6’4″ standing headroom. Stretch limos use lap belts on side-facing benches.

Which vehicle has the onboard bar and mood lighting?

The stretch limo. It includes a partition, club-grade sound, LED mood lighting, and a stocked bar area. Sprinter vans prioritize comfort and capacity over entertainment fittings.

Can I book either for a wedding in Toronto?

Yes. Brides and grooms typically choose a stretch limo for the couple and a Sprinter van for the bridal party — the Sprinter keeps 12+ guests together with dresses uncreased.

What is the best vehicle for a corporate roadshow across the GTA?

The Sprinter van. Standing headroom, premium audio, optional Wi-Fi, and capacity for 12–14 executives make it the standard for multi-stop corporate days from downtown to Mississauga, Markham, or Vaughan.

Do both vehicles include a professional chauffeur?

Yes. Every Airport Limo Toronto reservation includes a licensed, insured chauffeur — never a self-drive rental. Dispatch is staffed 24/7 with real-time flight tracking on airport runs.
