12-Passenger VS 15-Passenger

At RENTAVAN, full-size passenger vans are our bread and butter. When it comes to options for renting passenger vans, we have primarily focus on the most common and readily-avaible units onthe market: the Ford Transit T-350 XLT Passenger Van.


Like every rental vehicle agency over the last three years, RENTAVAN has struggled to source and purchase full-size passenger vans, amongst othe vehicles in our rental fleet, which has caused a mileage, age, and conformity crunch in our fleet. Becuase of purchasing issues, our fleet of passenger vans has become a hodgepodge of new and old; white, red, black, blue, etc.; Ford and Chevy. You name it, we have seen it come through our lot in terms of passenger van variation. As the new normal approaches and vehicle allocations improve, our token passenger van is beginning to show up at RENTAVAN lots.


With an increase in availbility, comes a decision for our renters: Do I need a 12-Passenger van rental, or do I need a 15-passenger van rental?


12-Passenger Van

Seating for 11, plus the driver, these 19.5 foot low-roof behemoths are a joy to drive on the road. Front captains chairs, bench seating in a 2 seats - 3 seats - 2 & 1 seats - 4 seats configuration, with indivually defined bucket seats that recline similar to an airplane's seat, round out the passenger section of these vans. Where the 12-Passenger Van really thrives is its 3.5 feet of cargo space behind the rear seats that define an enormous area to throw suitcases, gear, golf clubs, you name it.


15-Passenger Van

The workhorse of our fleet, these vans seat 14 passengers and one driver, and are jam packed with seating. These vans offer a 2 seats - 3 seats - 2 & 1 seats - 2 & 1 seats - 4 seats configuration, but with extra seats means the lack of storage space. If you are looking for a people hauler, the 15-Passenger Van offers the most seating of any non-CDL vehicle in the roadway. With more seats does offer the ability for configuration within manufactures weight-balance specifications, and seats can be removed from the 15-Passenger van to offer a unit arraignment for seating and storage.
