A tall, long cargo hold built for your biggest jobs
Drive a Sprinter Cargo
A Freightliner Sprinter Cargo van rental puts a tall-roof, long-wheelbase diesel workhorse in your hands. Use it for moving day, delivery runs, or a weekend of hauling gear. Browse cargo van rentals on Turo to find this final-year model, the 2021, with rear-wheel drive and a seven-speed automatic.
On Turo, you book your Sprinter Cargo from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Pick your dates, check the roof height and wheelbase on the listing, and plan your load around them.

A cavernous, configurable cargo hold
The Sprinter Cargo's hold tops out at 469.4 cu ft in its longest, high-roof form, so bulky loads fit without a second trip. Freightliner built it on two wheelbases — 144 and 170 inches — and offered two roof heights, standard and high. A 170-inch-wheelbase version is rated at 430.1 cu ft, so even the shorter-bodied setups leave you plenty of room.
Diesel power with a seven-speed automatic
A diesel engine makes 188 hp at 3,800 rpm, and it pairs with the 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic. You won't work a clutch while you thread through city traffic with a full load — just shift into drive and go.
Power goes to the rear wheels, so the front wheels handle steering on their own. For you, that means a familiar two-pedal drive whether you're hauling furniture across town or moving equipment between job sites. One rule matters at the pump: this engine runs on diesel only, so skip the regular gas nozzle every time you fill up.
Towing capacity and a 24.5-gallon tank
The Sprinter Cargo 3500 is rated to tow up to 7,500 lbs, so it can pull a trailer while the hold carries the rest. That's handy when a move outgrows one van or your equipment needs its own trailer. Check the listing to confirm the van's configuration and hitch setup before you plan a tow.
A 24.5-gallon fuel tank stretches the miles between stops on longer hauls. Map your diesel stops ahead of time on long routes, since not every gas station sells diesel. A little planning keeps your day on schedule and your load moving.
Stand out with a Sprinter Cargo
The Sprinter Cargo earns its keep when a job is bigger than a pickup bed but smaller than a box truck. Think apartment moves, small-business deliveries, event gear for a wedding or trade show, and equipment hauls between job sites. If you're weighing options, a Ford Transit Cargo rental is another cargo van on Turo worth a look.
Top Sprinter Cargo features
Freightliner heritage in a final-year van
Three things set the Sprinter Cargo apart: its Freightliner heritage, a hold built only for cargo, and a driver-aware cabin.
Freightliner sold its Sprinter-badged vans from 2001 through 2021, and the 2021 model year was the last. When you book one, you're driving the final chapter of a two-decade run.
The third generation arrived in 2018, built in Charleston, South Carolina, and that's the body you'll find on the 2021 Sprinter Cargo. Freightliner retired the badge after that year, so you won't see a newer one on any lot. That makes the Freightliner grille a small point of pride at the loading dock, paired with a modern body that's ready for real work.
Cargo version vs. passenger version
The biggest difference is where the seats stop. The Sprinter Cargo seats three up front and dedicates everything behind them to cargo. The passenger version trades that open hold for rows of seats, so it moves people instead of pallets.
Pick by what you're carrying. If it's boxes, furniture, or gear, the cargo van gives you up to 469.4 cu ft to fill. If it's a team or a big group, you'll want the passenger version, which has its own page on Turo. Getting this choice right before you book saves you from showing up with the wrong van for the job.
A driver-aware cabin
The Sprinter Cargo helps you keep tabs on a long, tall van. An optional blind-spot alert flags vehicles in lanes that are hard to check over your shoulder. Confirm on the listing whether your van has it.
Upright seating gives you a high view over traffic, which helps when you're merging or backing up to a loading dock. The rear-wheel-drive layout leaves steering as the front wheels' only job. Up front, three seats let you bring a helper or two to unload at the other end, so you're not doing the heavy lifting solo.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Sprinter Cargo
Get to know your Sprinter Cargo
Before you book, check the van's roof height and wheelbase, plan for its size on the road, and budget by trip length. These three steps help you choose the right van and avoid surprises.
The Sprinter Cargo comes in two roof heights, standard and high, and two wheelbases, 144 and 170 inches. Check the listing for the exact setup, since it affects how much fits inside and where you can park.
Need seats instead of cargo space? The Freightliner Sprinter passenger van is the people-moving version. Want the same lineage under another badge? A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter rental shares the Sprinter platform.
Sprinter Cargo driving tips
A van this size asks for a little extra attention. Keep these habits in mind:
Check clearance before you enter parking garages and drive-thrus, especially in a high-roof van.
Swing wide on turns, since a 170-inch wheelbase needs extra room at corners.
Secure every load with straps or tie-downs before you pull away.
Fill up with diesel only.
How much does it cost to rent a Sprinter Cargo?
The cost to rent a Sprinter Cargo depends on the city, your dates, and your trip length, since local vehicle owners set their own prices. Check listings near you for current daily rates.
Some listings offer weekly or monthly discounts, so a longer booking can lower your average daily cost. If you need the van for a month or more, explore long-term car rental options on Turo.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
