Sedan, SUV, Sprinter, or Stretch: Which to Book?

Updated September 2026 · Written by the All Star Limo dispatch team — serving Chicagoland since 2014, licensed and insured, with a 5.0 Google rating.

Quick answer: Choose a sedan for 1-3 passengers with light luggage, an SUV for up to 6 passengers with more luggage or a bit more room, a Sprinter van for groups of up to 14, and a stretch limo when the vehicle itself is part of the occasion — weddings, proms, and celebrations. The right choice comes down to headcount, luggage, and whether the trip is functional (airport, corporate) or an event in itself.

At a glance

• Sedan (e.g. Mercedes-Benz S-Class): 3 passengers, 2 pieces of luggage — airport transfers, corporate travel, discreet point-to-point rides
• SUV (e.g. Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, Chevrolet Suburban): 6 passengers, 4 pieces of luggage — families, small groups, more luggage capacity
• Sprinter van: up to 14 passengers, 6 pieces of luggage — corporate teams, wedding parties, airport group transfers
• Stretch limo (e.g. MKT stretch, stretch Hummer): 10-22 passengers depending on the vehicle — weddings, proms, and events where the ride is part of the celebration

Sedan: the airport and corporate default

A sedan seats 3 passengers with 2 pieces of luggage in All Star Limo’s fleet — for example, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This is the right call for a solo business traveler, a couple, or a small corporate group headed to a meeting or the airport, where a lower-profile vehicle and quick curbside pickup matter more than extra space. See S-Class limo service and Chicago black car service.

SUV: more room, still discreet

All Star Limo’s SUV lineup — Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, and Chevrolet Suburban — each seat 6 passengers with 4 pieces of luggage. This is the most common choice for families, small groups, or anyone who wants more space than a sedan without stepping up to a van or stretch vehicle. It’s also the standard pick for corporate travel involving more than two people. See corporate limo service.

Sprinter van: the group logistics answer

A Sprinter seats up to 14 passengers with 6 pieces of luggage, which makes it the practical choice once a group is too large for an SUV but doesn’t need the presentation of a stretch limo — corporate offsites, wedding parties moving between venues, or a group airport transfer where keeping everyone together matters more than arriving in a single showpiece vehicle. See Sprinter limo service and group transportation.

Stretch limo: when the vehicle is part of the event

Stretch vehicles in All Star Limo’s fleet range from a 10-passenger MKT stretch limo to a 22-passenger stretch Hummer. These are the right choice for weddings, proms, and celebrations where arriving in the vehicle is part of the experience, not just a means of getting there. See wedding limo service.

What’s the difference between an SUV and a sedan for an airport transfer?

Can I book a specific vehicle for a wedding?

Yes — vehicle selection is confirmed at booking, so you can request a specific class (sedan, SUV, Sprinter, or stretch limo) for your wedding or event.

Which vehicle is best for a corporate group?

For 1-3 executives, a sedan or SUV keeps things discreet. For a larger team traveling together, a Sprinter van keeps the group together in one vehicle.
