The field of transportation and of livery service is changing. As luxury trends go even higher scale, discerning clients are expecting more from limousine companies these days. Customers want bigger, better vehicles and more luxury.
Lucky for Brilliant Transportation, these arching trends play right into our strategy and positioning. Brilliant Transportation is a high-end, luxury and executive transportation provider, and our company is known for their top of the line, customized Mercedes Sprinter Vans.
Luxury Vans Versus Limousines
These large Sprinter vans are pioneering the field of van transportation and luxury van accommodations. And Brilliant is a big force behind this trend. We recognized early on the customers were looking for a better and more unique experience, and we have been there to provide just that experience in New York and Los Angeles.
Limo Customers Expect More
While for many decades, limousine customers got used being ferried about in Lincoln Town Car stretches, the rise of the SUV segment in the 90’s really has changed attitudes in the vehicle segment. Customers drive larger vehicles at home, and now they expect more room as well when they are out on business or entertaining using a hired vehicle.
Large vans are perfect compliment to this trend, offering much more headroom and elbow room all around. While domestic van manufacturers have never had much pull in the luxury segment, the arrival the Sprinter vans has changed all that.
Now luxury customers can order a limo van and be greeted by the arrival of a gleaming and sleek Mercedes Benz van! These category changing vehicles really shook up the van market by being the first to offer tall vans, which have a extended, bubble top like canopy offered as a factory option. The factory options delivers better construction and styling that what you’d find in an aftermarket vehicle.
These tall vans offer a terrific advantage in terms of headroom, with adults being able to stand up inside. It also make getting in and out much easier with no bending or crouching. This is very advantageous for women in long dresses as well as passengers dressed in finery for special occasions, there is less chance their beautiful outfits will get rumpled.
Luxury Vans Are Making Headway in Luxury Travel
There are other obvious advantages to having a larger vehicle, such as the Sprinter van. For one, these classy Mercedes vans are extremely elegant, but not pretentious like a stretch limo might be, or especially a stretch SUV limo. Those vehicles belong on the party circuit, but they don’t look right for corporate events or high end occasions. The Sprinters are much more suitable for a business environment, whether it’s a luxury model or not.
Another advantage is the large picture windows that come standard with the Sprinter. These large glass surfaces provide an excellent elevated view of the road, and its nicer for looking out the windows when you’re on scenic byways if you’re taking a Sunday drive. Also although the long wheelbase Sprinter is a long vehicle, they are still shorter many stretch limos and and certainly stretch SUVs so parking can still be done accomplished in a standard parking space.
Brilliant’s Sprinter Vans Are Top Of The Line
For corporate events the luxury Sprinter vans are also a terrific match because luxury versions often seat between 6 and 10 adults. It’s very comfortable for moving groups of business people to conventions, meetings, or entertaining clients while out on the town. As most of the luxury vans out there are custom, the equipment list will vary from company to company.
But at Brilliant for example, we are serving the business market primarily, in addition to the VIP market, so our equipment list is geared around mobile productivity. All of our luxury Sprinters come equipped with large captains chairs, which are not only extremely comfortable, but also great for long journeys as well as getting work done. All of our seats come with a foldaway tray table, which can serve as a desk, and there is also a reading light and storage space at each seat.
With the addition of our on-board Wi-Fi, which helps you stay connected or get work done on your trip, our large screen TVs with satellite channels provide excellent entertainment, or just keep your eye on CNBC or Bloomberg or CNN.
