A Portland Sprinter van rental through Elly8.net comes with a professional chauffeur and a fixed, all-in price: the 12-seat Executive Sprinter is US$190 an hour with a three-hour minimum, US$380 from Portland International (PDX) to downtown, and US$1,400 for a full day, per vehicle. You do not rent the van and drive it yourself; the chauffeur handles the bridges, the parking and the waiting.
Portland is a compact city with a lot of day-trip country on its doorstep, and that shapes how groups use a Sprinter here: airport runs for teams, game nights at the Rose Quarter, and long days east into the Columbia River Gorge or south into wine country. Rides in Portland are operated by licensed, commercially insured local chauffeur partners vetted through the Limousine Worldwide network; Elly8.net takes the booking, fixes the price and runs the 24/7 desk.

Executive Sprinter or Jet Sprinter?
There are two Sprinters on the Elly8.net fleet page, and they do different jobs.
Executive Sprinter. Up to 12 passengers and 12 bags in forward-facing rows, with standing headroom. This is the workhorse: a team from PDX to a downtown hotel, a family reunion with suitcases, ten friends to a Timbers match. It is on the Portland price list, so you know the number before you call anyone.
Jet Sprinter. Six captain's chairs and room for four bags, a VIP cabin for executives, artists or a family who wants space to work or rest on a long day. It is priced in the web booker for your exact trip.
| If your trip is... | Book | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 7 to 12 people with luggage from PDX | Executive Sprinter | One vehicle, room for every case |
| 4 to 6 executives on a roadshow | Jet Sprinter or a First Class SUV | Workable cabin between meetings |
| 4 to 6 friends, light bags | Business SUV, US$120 an hour | Cheaper than a Sprinter when seats would sit empty |
| 13 to 24 people | Two Executive Sprinters | They can run the same route or split |
| A celebration where the vehicle is part of the fun | Party bus, priced in the booker | Perimeter seating, lighting and sound |
For the celebration side, our Portland party bus guide compares buses with the Sprinter. For wedding guest shuttles, see the Portland wedding limo guide.
Portland's geography in one paragraph
The Willamette River splits the city into east and west, and the Columbia River forms the northern edge with Washington across it. Downtown, the Pearl District and Old Town sit on the west bank; the Lloyd District, with the Oregon Convention Center and the Rose Quarter, sits across the river on the east bank, a few minutes away by one of the downtown bridges. PDX is northeast, about 12 miles (20 km) from downtown. The west hills, with Washington Park, rise directly behind downtown, and beyond them the Sunset Highway leads to Beaverton and Hillsboro. Weekday rush hours on the freeways and bridges are when a chauffeur who knows the alternatives earns the hourly rate.
The routes Portland groups book most
PDX and the convention centre
Teams arriving for a show at the Oregon Convention Center often fly in on several flights. A Sprinter can collect the largest group and SUVs the stragglers. The centre's upcoming calendar includes CANVAS 2026 from October 30 to November 4. For multi-day shows, the desk runs hotel loops and booth-team schedules; see conference and trade show transportation. Our Portland airport car service guide explains where the chauffeur meets you at PDX and which vehicle fits which luggage.
Game nights at the Rose Quarter and Providence Park
The Rose Quarter is home to Moda Center, Veterans Memorial Coliseum and Theater of the Clouds, with the Trail Blazers, the Winterhawks and the Portland Fire on the calendar. West of downtown, Providence Park hosts the Portland Timbers. Both empty onto a handful of streets at once. A Sprinter on the evening out package (US$950) drops the group near the entrance and waits at an agreed pickup point a short walk away, which is far easier than a dozen app requests at the final whistle. See sports event transportation.
Washington Park, the gardens and the zoo
Washington Park, in the hills behind downtown and about 2 miles (3 km) from the centre, holds the International Rose Test Garden, the Portland Japanese Garden, Hoyt Arboretum and the Oregon Zoo. According to Explore Washington Park, parking fills fast and payment is required at all lots, and a free shuttle loop stops at the major attractions. For a group, a Sprinter that drops at the garden and collects later avoids the parking hunt entirely. The private city highlights tour (US$760 in the Sprinter) includes the park and the west hills viewpoints; see private city tours.
The Columbia River Gorge
The signature day trip heads east along the Columbia. Multnomah Falls is about 30 miles (49 km) from downtown, and the six-hour Gorge package is US$1,050 in the Sprinter. Two current rules from the U.S. Forest Service shape the plan: seasonal timed reservation tickets are required for day use at Multnomah Falls from May to September, and the Multnomah Falls restrooms are closed for renovation through November 2026. Book your time slot first, then send it to the desk. Hood River, further east, is about 64 miles (102 km) from downtown, roughly 80 minutes on a clear road, which makes it a full-day rather than a six-hour trip.
Willamette Valley wine country
The other classic day is south-west into the Willamette Valley. Dundee, in the Dundee Hills, is about 27 miles (43 km) from downtown, roughly 48 minutes on a clear road. The Willamette Valley Wineries Association lists wineries and tasting rooms; many ask for appointments, so book those first. A full-day Sprinter at US$1,400 keeps one chauffeur with the group between estates, and there is no drinking in the vehicle; the chauffeur follows Oregon's rules. See wine country tours.
Mount Hood
Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood is about 62 miles (100 km) from downtown, a little over an hour and a half on a clear road, more in winter conditions. Ski and snowboard groups like the Sprinter because twelve bags means room for boards and boot bags. Winter mountain driving depends on conditions on the day; the desk will tell you if a trip should move.
Bags, gear and child seats
Portland groups travel with more than suitcases. Golf bags for a weekend on the coast, bike boxes for a Gorge riding trip, skis and boot bags for Mount Hood, strollers for a family reunion: all of them change what fits. The Executive Sprinter carries up to 12 bags alongside 12 passengers, but a group of ten with ten ski bags and ten suitcases needs either a second vehicle or a conversation with the desk first. Put every oversize item in the booking notes.
Child seats are available on request; give each child's age and weight so the right seat is fitted before pickup. In a Sprinter, seats fit in the forward-facing rows, which is one reason families of eight to twelve often prefer it to two SUVs.
Corporate days and roadshows
A Portland roadshow often means downtown towers in the morning and west-side campuses in Beaverton or Hillsboro in the afternoon. Hillsboro is about 17 miles (27 km) from downtown, about half an hour on a clear road and considerably more at the evening peak on the Sunset Highway. The corporate roadshow day in the Sprinter is US$1,710; for a smaller executive team, a business SUV at US$1,080 or a First Class SUV at US$1,305 is more economical. A corporate account adds monthly invoicing, and NDAs are available on request. See roadshow chauffeur and corporate car service.
Booking tips that save money
- Count seats honestly. A Sprinter for six people costs more than a business SUV that would carry them and their bags. Book the Sprinter at seven and above, or when luggage forces it.
- Use the package, not the meter. Six hours of hourly service would be US$1,140; the six-hour Gorge package is US$1,050.
- Give every stop. Hourly service runs as directed, but the desk plans better with the itinerary in the notes.
- Book the return leg together. The PDX round trip is US$725 against US$760 for two separate one-way fares.
- Plan for permits and appointments first. Multnomah Falls tickets in summer and winery appointments in the valley decide your timings, not the van.
- Book early for peak weekends. Sprinters are the first vehicles to go on big game nights, convention weeks and summer Saturdays.
Cancellation is free more than 72 hours before pickup; 72 hours or less is 10%, 48 hours or less 50%, and 24 hours or less or a no-show 100%, refunded to the original card.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a Sprinter van with a driver in Portland?
The Executive Sprinter is US$190 an hour with a three-hour minimum, US$380 one way between PDX and downtown, US$950 for an evening out, US$1,050 for the six-hour Gorge day and US$1,400 for a full day. Every price is per vehicle and includes the chauffeur, taxes and standard gratuity.
How many people fit in a Portland Sprinter?
The Executive Sprinter seats up to 12 passengers with room for up to 12 bags. The Jet Sprinter seats six in captain's chairs with room for four bags. For more than twelve, book two Sprinters or a Sprinter and an SUV on the same schedule.
Can the Sprinter be rented without a driver?
Not through Elly8.net. Every booking includes a professional chauffeur, which is the point for most groups: nobody drives after a winery or a game, nobody hunts for parking in Washington Park, and the chauffeur handles bridges and freeway traffic. For self-drive vans, a rental company is the right choice.
Do we need permits for Multnomah Falls?
In summer, yes. The U.S. Forest Service requires seasonal timed reservation tickets for day use at Multnomah Falls from May to September. Book your slot first and send it to the desk; the six-hour Gorge package, US$1,050 in the Sprinter, is planned around it.
Is a Sprinter cheaper than several cars?
Often. Twelve people from PDX to downtown in one Sprinter costs US$380 per vehicle; the same group in two business SUVs would be US$380 as well, but in four sedans US$580. The Sprinter keeps everyone together; two SUVs give flexibility if the group will split up later.
Can a Sprinter wait for us during a game or concert?
Yes. The evening out and event night package, US$950 in the Executive Sprinter, covers the drive in, the wait and the drive home. The chauffeur drops the group near the entrance and meets you at an agreed pickup point a short walk from the gates afterwards. There is no drinking in the vehicle; the chauffeur follows Oregon's rules.
