12 Passenger Van Rental Orlando

A 12-passenger van rental in Orlando gives your group one vehicle instead of two or three — our fleet has five 12- and 15-seat passenger vans, from $125 per day before tax. We deliver the van free anywhere in Greater Orlando and to Orlando International Airport (MCO) or Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB), with weekly rates from $750 and monthly from $2,625.

Which 12-Passenger Van Rental in Orlando Fits Your Group

Two 12-seat models make up the core of our passenger-van class, and the right choice comes down to engine character and price. The Ford Transit 350 12-Passenger runs $130 per day, while the Chevrolet Express 3500 12-Passenger sits at $125 per day, both before tax. The Transit pairs a 3.5-liter engine with 275 horsepower, which suits stop-and-go trips along International Drive and US-192. The Express carries a 6.6-liter V8 with 401 horsepower — noticeably stronger when you merge onto I-4 or SR 528 with a full load of passengers and luggage.

Ford Transit 350 vs. Chevrolet Express 3500 — 12 Seats, Two Characters

Both vans seat 12, run on gasoline, shift automatically, and drive through the rear wheels. The Transit feels more car-like behind the wheel and handles tighter hotel parking decks near Lake Buena Vista with less effort. The Express is the workhorse — its V8 pulls hard on highway on-ramps and holds speed comfortably on the 70-mph stretches of Florida's Turnpike. We carry both in our fleet because groups split evenly between the two: families on a week at the parks usually take the Transit, while church groups and wedding parties heading to Port Canaveral prefer the Express.

When 15 Seats Beat 12

• Ford Transit 350 15-Passenger: $150 per day, same 3.5-liter engine — the extra row helps when two families travel together or the group adds a guide.
• Chevrolet Express 3500 15-Passenger: $145 per day, the same 401-hp V8 — the best value when you need maximum seating at the lowest cost.
• Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 15-Passenger: $185 per day, a 2.0-liter turbo diesel-like smoothness with 208 hp — the tallest cabin, so adults over 6 feet stand and sit without crouching.

If your party is 13 to 15 people, the three-row 12-seat vans leave you one van short — that's when the 15-seat Transit or Express becomes the practical pick. We size the van to the actual headcount at booking, and the rate difference between 12 and 15 seats is $15–$20 per day before tax. A 15-seat van also spreads the per-person cost thinner: at $145 per day, a full Express works out to under $10 per rider, which beats splitting into two minivans on any local car hire comparison.

What a 12-Passenger Van Rental in Orlando Costs Per Day, Week, and Month

Rent-Trip prices the 12-passenger van class at $125–$130 per day before tax, with weekly and monthly rates that lower the per-day cost. The two 12-seat models we offer — the Ford Transit 350 at $130/day and the Chevrolet Express 3500 at $125/day — sit at the entry of the passenger-van class, which runs $125–$185/day across five vans including the 15-seat options.

Daily, weekly, and monthly rates for the 12-seat class

Weekly pricing equals six times the daily rate, and monthly equals 21 days — so a week in the Express runs from $750 and a month from $2,625, before tax. The math matters for longer stays: a three-week trip at the monthly rate costs about the same as 21 individual days, which is why the monthly quote is worth asking for when you book. On our fleet, the 15-seat Transit and Express cost $20–$25 more per day, and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 tops the class at $185/day — a good fit when the whole group rides together.

What the price includes and what gets added at payment

• Coverage included: state-minimum liability and a Loss Damage Waiver come with the rate; the waiver's deductible and exclusions are set out in the rental agreement.
• Tax added at payment: 6.5% sales tax in Orange County, with the rate following the county of hand-over — 7.5% in Osceola (Kissimmee, Celebration), 7% in Seminole and Polk — plus the $2/day Florida rental surcharge for the first 30 days.
• Delivery and return: we deliver the van free anywhere in Greater Orlando and to MCO or SFB, clean with a full tank; you return it full.
• Mileage: unlimited within Florida; trips to other US states are agreed when booking.
• No surprises on tolls: the van runs E-PASS/SunPass, and tolls are re-invoiced as recorded on the terms in the agreement.

On peak dates — Spring Break, Thanksgiving week, Christmas through New Year — rates are quoted when you book, so the daily figure above reflects the regular season.

Where Your 12-Passenger Van Rental in Orlando Can Take You

A 12-passenger van rental in Orlando from Rent-Trip works best for the road trips that most rental cars handle awkwardly — group runs to the Space Coast, the Gulf beaches, and the cruise terminals. Since mileage within Florida is unlimited, the only real planning question is time, not distance.

From MCO and SFB to I-Drive, Kissimmee, and the cruise port

Most of our 12-passenger van rentals start with a free delivery to Orlando International Airport (MCO) or Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB), and the first drive is usually a short one. From MCO, International Drive sits about 20–25 minutes away via SR 528, Downtown Orlando about 20 minutes, and Lake Buena Vista or Kissimmee roughly 30 minutes. From SFB, the same destinations run 25–45 minutes, with the Lake Buena Vista area the farthest at 60–75 minutes. The longer airport run is Port Canaveral: about 45–60 minutes from MCO on SR 528, which makes a 12-seat van a practical choice for a cruise group that lands and sails the same day.

Day trips that suit a 12-passenger van — the Space Coast launch sites, Daytona, Tampa

• The Space Coast launch sites and Cocoa Beach: 45–52 miles, about 1 hour via SR 528 — the classic day trip, with tolls on the Beachline.
• Port Canaveral cruise port: 45 miles, 45–60 minutes from MCO; return the van after the cruise and we deliver a fresh one for the next leg.
• Daytona Beach: 55 miles, about 1 hour via I-4 and I-95 on free general lanes.
• Tampa: 85 miles, about 1.5 hours via I-4 — a full-day outing that suits the van's passenger count better than two cars.
• St. Augustine: 105 miles, about 1 hour 45 minutes; the oldest city in the US is a long but rewarding day trip.

Toll roads and the free Visitor Toll Pass at MCO

Every toll road in the Orlando area is all-electronic — there is no cash lane, so the van needs a transponder or a plate read. Rent-Trip sets up each vehicle for E-PASS and SunPass, and tolls are re-invoiced as recorded. Clients who arrive and depart through MCO can instead pick up the free CFX Visitor Toll Pass at the airport terminals, which runs at transponder rates with no rental-company fee. On the free side, the general lanes of I-4, I-95, US-192, and SR 50 cost nothing, so a run to Daytona or Tampa avoids tolls entirely; the paid SR 528 and SR 417 are the price of the shortest route to the coast.

What's Included When You Rent a 12-Passenger Van in Orlando

Every 12-passenger van rental in Orlando from Rent-Trip comes with state-minimum liability coverage and a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) included in the quoted price, plus unlimited mileage on Florida roads and free delivery to your hotel, vacation home, or either airport terminal.

Coverage, Waiver, and Unlimited Florida Mileage

The price you see covers two essential protections: state-minimum liability coverage, which meets Florida's legal requirement, and a Loss Damage Waiver, which limits your financial responsibility for damage to the van itself. LDW is a waiver, not insurance — its deductible and exclusions are set out in the rental agreement, and we recommend reading that section before you sign. The van arrives clean with a full tank of gas and goes back the same way, which keeps the math simple: you pay for the rental period and the fuel you actually burn. Mileage within Florida is unlimited, so a loop from Orlando to Daytona Beach and back costs nothing extra per mile. Trips into other US states are fine when agreed at booking; driving into Mexico or Canada, or taking the van on a ferry, is prohibited by the agreement.

Child Seats, Boosters, and Rental with a Driver

• Child seats and boosters: Florida law (FS 316.613) requires children under 6 to ride in a car seat or booster — we can provide them, just agree when booking.
• Electronic tolling: every van is set up for E-PASS or SunPass; tolls are re-invoiced as recorded, on the terms in the agreement.
• Rental with a driver: if your group would rather not drive, a driver is available by the hour from 4 hours — trips, transfers to MCO or SFB, and excursions; the hourly rate is quoted when booking.
• Rental agreement: The rental agreement is signed in person at hand-over, with the physical driver's license inspected and the signature witnessed, so the hand-over itself takes minutes, not paperwork.

One practical note from our fleet experience: if your group includes children, tell us the ages and counts when you book on WhatsApp — we bring the right seats already installed, which saves 15–20 minutes at delivery compared with fitting them on the spot.

Documents and Rules for a 12-Passenger Van Rental in Orlando

A physical driver's license, a passport for international visitors, and a bank card in the main driver's name are the three things you need to pick up a 12-passenger van here. Florida does not require an International Driving Permit, and the minimum rental age is 21. Here is exactly what the rules look like when you book with us.

What you need to drive in Florida: license, passport, age

Your valid home-country driver's license is enough to drive in Florida — an International Driving Permit is not required by state law, and we do not ask for one. If your license is not in English, an IDP or certified translation is recommended only as a translation for police and insurers. The license must be the physical card: Florida law requires us to inspect it and witness the signature, so a digital license on your phone is not accepted. International visitors also show a passport. The minimum driver age is 21; drivers aged 21–24 pay a young-driver fee whose amount is set out in the agreement, and passenger vans may require a driver aged 25+ depending on the model. A bank card in the main driver's name is used for the security hold, with the amount stated in the agreement.

Driving rules and hurricane-season cancellation policy

• Seat belts and child seats: everyone in front and everyone under 18 must buckle up; children under 6 must ride in a car seat or booster, which we can provide — agree it when booking.
• Right on red: a right turn after a full stop is allowed unless a sign prohibits it; school zones drop to 15–20 mph and are camera-enforced.
• Move Over law: change lanes or slow down for stopped emergency vehicles; headlights go on whenever the wipers are on.
• Hands-free only: no texting while driving; phones are hands-free in school and work zones; the DUI limit is 0.08.
• Tolls and camera tickets: the van is set up for E-PASS/SunPass electronic tolling; unpaid tolls, red-light camera tickets ($158) and school-zone tickets ($100) are issued to the vehicle owner and re-invoiced to the renter.
• Hurricane cancellation: if the National Hurricane Center issues a Hurricane Warning for Orange, Osceola or Seminole County — or MCO or SFB closes — rebooking or cancellation is free; nobody drives out under a Hurricane Warning.

Before you book, confirm the young-driver policy and the security-hold amount for your specific van — both are set out in the rental agreement.

Booking a 12 Passenger Van Rental Orlando with Delivery

There is no rental counter to visit: Rent-Trip delivers the van to any address in Greater Orlando and to Orlando International Airport (MCO) or Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB) free of charge, and the whole booking happens over WhatsApp or by phone. The exact meeting point at either Orlando International Airport (MCO) or Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB) is agreed when you book, and the rental agreement is signed in person at hand-over, with your driver's license inspected — clean, with a full tank.

Booking a 12-Passenger Van Rental in Orlando in Three Steps

• WhatsApp request: send your dates, the number of passengers, and the drop-off point — a hotel on International Drive, a vacation home in Kissimmee, or the terminal at MCO where you land — and we confirm availability and quote the rate for those days.
• Rental agreement: The rental agreement is reviewed and signed in person at hand-over, with your driver's license inspected and the young-driver fee, security hold, and LDW deductible set out in the agreement.
• Free delivery: We bring the van to your address in Greater Orlando or to the agreed terminal at MCO or SFB at the scheduled time.

What to Prepare Before the Van Arrives

• Physical driver's license: Florida law requires us to inspect the card and witness the signature, so a digital license is not accepted; international visitors also show a passport.
• Bank card in the main driver's name: used for the security hold, with the amount stated in the agreement.
• Child seats or boosters: required for children under 6; tell us when booking and we provide them.

A vehicle with a driver is also available by the hour from 4 hours — useful for a one-way transfer to Port Canaveral or a day at the Space Coast launch sites when nobody in the group wants to drive. The driver's hourly rate is quoted when booking. No online checkout exists; if you prefer to talk through the details, a phone call works just as well as WhatsApp. The meeting point and delivery time are agreed when booking, and because the car is delivered to you, your first drive can begin right from your hotel or vacation home.

Key Points for Your 12 Passenger Van Rental Orlando

A 12-passenger van rental in Orlando works best when you match the model to your group's luggage and route. Before you book, decide between the two 12-seat options: the Ford Transit 350 at $130 per day and the Chevrolet Express 3500 at $125 per day, both before tax. Weekly and monthly rates are set out in the rental agreement.

• 12 seats vs. 15 seats: If your group carries more than one suitcase per person, a 15-seat van (Ford Transit 350, Chevrolet Express 3500, or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500) gives extra cargo room behind the last row.
• Delivery is part of the deal: The van comes to your hotel, vacation home, or terminal at Orlando International Airport (MCO) or Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB) at no charge — there is no rental counter to visit.
• Mileage is unlimited within Florida: Day trips to the Space Coast launch sites, Daytona Beach, or Tampa cost nothing extra in mileage, and the van is set up for electronic tolling.
• Taxes are added at payment: The daily rate is before tax; 6.5% sales tax and the $2 per day Florida surcharge apply when you pay.

• Documents are simple: A physical driver's license from your home country is enough — Florida law does not require an International Driving Permit. International visitors also show a passport, and drivers must be at least 21.
• Coverage is included: State-minimum liability coverage and a Loss Damage Waiver come with the price; the deductible and exclusions are set out in the agreement.

The right approach is to confirm the exact model, the hand-over point at MCO or SFB, and the young-driver fee if anyone in your group is 21–24 when you book on WhatsApp. That way the van that arrives matches what you planned for, and there are no surprises when we hand over the keys.
