Count the group, count the bags by type, and name the trip. The calculator runs both classes against Artisan Chauffeur & Concierge vehicle-class planning standards and calls the head-to-head honestly — including when either one would do.
EXECUTIVE SUVBoth fit — the SUV is the smarter call
5 passengers with 5 luggage units, planned as an airport transfer, judged against executive SUV and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter planning standards.
Both vehicles carry this load, so the executive SUV wins the tradeoff: easier curbs and garages, an executive arrival, and the cheaper class — no paying for Sprinter space the group will not use. Choose the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter only if riding together as one cabin is the point of the trip.
If everyone and every bag fits inside the SUV class with honest margin, the SUV usually wins: it loads at tight hotel curbs, clears parking garages a high-roof van cannot, reads executive at a lobby, and books at the cheaper class. Paying for Sprinter space a group will not use is not luxury — it is just spend.
The Sprinter earns its class when the trip only works as one vehicle: wedding parties on a single schedule, teams that want the ride to double as a meeting, and cruise or roadshow luggage piles that bury an SUV tailgate. A walk-in cabin and real luggage depth are what the class buys.
The calculator does not see your actual bags, does not bind a vehicle assignment, and does not price the trip — published hourly bands are planning ranges, not quotes. The emailed quote confirms the vehicle class, the exact fit, the rate and minimum, and whether two vehicles beat one.
Use the tool output as planning context, then send the itinerary to the concierge team. The quote confirms availability, vehicle class, operator terms, pass-through costs, and the exact plan in writing before confirmation.
