CharterUP Launches Luxury Sprinter Vans in Select Cities, Significantly Growing Leading Group Transportation Marketplace

Austin, TX (October 25, 2023) — CharterUP, the first fully integrated charter bus marketplace for corporations, consumers and operators, today announced that luxury sprinter vans are now available on its award-winning charter services platform in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and San Antonio, with additional markets to follow.

The addition of luxury sprinter vans to the CharterUP marketplace creates opportunities for more than 7,000 independent operators across North America who are sitting on underutilized fleets. Already hosting a network of more than 4,000 motorcoaches and minibusses, the CharterUP marketplace has added hundreds of luxury sprinter vans to meet the growing demand for group transportation services of all sizes.

“This expansion enables us to offer a wider range of vehicles to serve our customers better, whether they’re a Fortune 500 company looking for minibuses for campus transportation or customers looking to book a luxury sprinter for their bridal party,” said Armir Harris, CEO of CharterUP. “This expansion is a significant stride in our journey to redefine luxury in group travel. We are not just extending our network; we are elevating the travel experience for our clients, addressing their diverse needs with our versatile and upscale travel options. We are excited to welcome thousands of independent operators and their underutilized fleets to our platform, creating mutual growth opportunities.”

Hundreds of new luxury sprinter van operators have joined over 600 existing local bus operators nationwide who have teamed up with CharterUP to deliver premier charter services experiences with transparency and accountability, while leveraging its data-driven platform to increase bookings, enhance logistics and more.

“Our partnership with CharterUP has yielded remarkable success, resulting in a 150% increase in our bookings,” said Alex Khorasani, Owner at LA VIP Tours. “With the recent addition of luxury vans and sprinters, we anticipate the opportunity to expand our fleet’s presence on their platform and, in turn, take our business to the next level.”

With the strategic incorporation of sprinter vans, small groups of up to 12 passengers can book luxury travel without the high costs and coordination hassles of multiple rideshares or taxis. This addition to the fleet marks a significant step in making convenient group travel options more accessible and affordable, ensuring a premium travel experience from start to finish.

“Our new sprinter line is a testament to CharterUP’s commitment to providing efficient, affordable luxury travel options to groups of all sizes,” Harris said. “In an industry where smaller parties often face the dilemma of choosing between luxury and affordability, our sprinter vans stand out as a solution that compromises on neither.”

The news comes on the heels of the company’s recognition as the second fastest-growing private company in the U.S. on the Inc. 5000 list for achieving 111,130% average revenue growth over the past three years.

With real-time availability, vehicle tracking, performance reviews and on-demand booking, CharterUP connects customers with available charters in under 60 seconds. By streamlining group transportation, CharterUP has become the top charter service provider for Fortune 500 companies including Amazon, Microsoft and Google and last year alone, helped eliminate over 1 billion miles worth of carbon emissions with 25 million miles driven.
