Black Mercedes Sprinter Rental Los Angeles

Everything else in this issue is about being seen arriving. This one is about not noticing that you travelled.

The Sprinter is the vehicle Los Angeles actually runs on — the one waiting at private terminals, outside studio gates and behind the wedding. Inside a black conversion: individual quilted chairs, a starlight headliner, screens, ambient light by the colour, and a refrigerated drawer. Chauffeur on request.

Black Mercedes Sprinter with the side door open beneath palm trees — 01From the pavement it is a black van, which is the point — nobody photographs the vehicle, they photograph whoever steps out of it.

A conversion like this exists because the alternative is worse. Six or eight people in two cars arrive at different times, in different moods, having had different conversations. One Sprinter arrives once, with everybody in it, having had the same conversation — and with room to stand up while doing it.

The rest is what an hour on the 405 should feel like. Every chair is individual, reclines, and has its own console. The headliner is a field of fibre-optic stars. There are screens, there is a fridge, and there is a control panel on the wall that runs all of it. It is a lounge that happens to be moving at freeway speed.

Six people, two cars, three arrivals.
Or one van, and one.
