Quick answer: A Jet Executive Sprinter is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter built out like a private jet cabin: fewer seats, more room. Royal’s Jet Sprinter carries up to 8 passengers, which makes it the top choice for a VIP Notre Dame game day: a host and guests, a family celebrating, or friends who want space for a 13 to 15 hour day. It’s booked as an all-day charter with one chauffeur from Chicago to Notre Dame Stadium and back. Remaining home games: Miami (Sat., Nov. 7, 7:30 p.m. ET), Boston College (Sat., Nov. 14, 3:30 p.m. ET) and SMU (Sat., Nov. 21, 7:30 p.m. ET).

Nov. 7 vs. Miami and the other November home games
Saturday, Nov. 7, Notre Dame vs. Miami is the game to book first. It’s the biggest home game left, a 7:30 p.m. ET night kickoff, and the first November date our Sprinters sell out. A night game is also the strongest case for a Sprinter charter: a full afternoon tailgate, a cold walk out after 11 p.m. Eastern and a 95-mile drive home that nobody in your group has to make.
| Nov. 7 Sprinter charter | Chicago time |
|---|---|
| Pickup in Chicago or the suburbs | About 11:00 a.m. |
| Arrive and tailgate | About 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. |
| Kickoff (7:30 p.m. ET) | 6:30 p.m. |
| Game ends, meet the Sprinter | About 10:00 p.m. |
| Home | About 1:00 a.m. |
Read the full Notre Dame vs. Miami Sprinter plan. The other two November home games book the same way:
| Game | Date | Kickoff | Leave Chicago to tailgate | Home in Chicago |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Miami | Sat., Nov. 7 | 7:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 p.m. Chicago | About 11:00 a.m. | About 1:00 a.m. |
| Boston College | Sat., Nov. 14 | 3:30 p.m. ET / 2:30 p.m. Chicago | About 7:30 a.m. | About 9:00 to 10:30 p.m. |
| SMU | Sat., Nov. 21 | 7:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 p.m. Chicago | About 11:00 a.m. | About 1:00 a.m. |
Times are typical and depend on traffic and pickup stops. South Bend is one hour ahead of Chicago. All three games air on NBC and Peacock.

What makes a Jet Sprinter different
| Feature | Jet Executive Sprinter | Standard 14-seat Sprinter |
|---|---|---|
| Passengers | Up to 8 | Up to 14 |
| Seating | Lounge-style captain seats with more legroom | Rows or limo-style benches |
| Best for | VIPs, hosts, families, long days | Larger groups on a budget per seat |
| Room for gear | More space per guest for coats and bags | Pack light when every seat is full |
Fewer seats means every guest has room to stretch out on a long drive, work on the way, or nap on the ride home after a night game. Exact features vary by van, so ask dispatch what’s in the Jet Sprinter on your date. See the fleet for photos.
Who books a Jet Sprinter for Notre Dame
| Guest list | Why the Jet Sprinter fits |
|---|---|
| A host and 4 to 7 clients | Room to talk business, arrive looking sharp, and a private space between tailgate and kickoff |
| Alumni couples | Four couples in comfort instead of two cars and a designated driver |
| A family milestone | A graduation year, a 50th birthday or a first game, with kids and grandparents riding together |
| Former players and guests of the program | A discreet, quiet van for a long day |
Corporate hosts often pair the Jet Sprinter with a luxury SUV for the host, so the host can leave early or stay late without breaking up the group.
A Jet Sprinter game day, start to finish
- Pickup: one or two stops in Chicago or the suburbs, or a meet-up at O’Hare for guests flying in.
- The drive east: about 95 miles; South Bend is one hour ahead of Chicago.
- On campus: your chauffeur parks in Notre Dame’s bus and RV lots and stays with the van.
- Between tailgate and kickoff: the van is a warm, quiet base for coats, bags and a break.
- After the game: one agreed meeting point, then a smooth ride home, usually after midnight for a night game.
The full timelines by kickoff time are in our Notre Dame game day Sprinter charter guide.
When a bigger Sprinter makes more sense
If your group is 9 or more, the Jet Sprinter is too small. Book a Sprinter limo (11 or 14 seats), or a Jet Sprinter plus a second vehicle so the VIPs ride in the jet cabin and everyone else in a 14-seat van, both on one dispatch plan.
Pricing for a Jet Sprinter charter
The Jet Sprinter is billed by the hour. Local hourly bookings have a 3-hour minimum; a Notre Dame day runs 13 to 15 hours. A 20% gratuity is added to the hourly total, and taxes and tolls are included. Game-day parking is listed on your quote. Request one written price on the quote page or call (866) 811-0999.
Book the right vehicle for November
Sprinters move most Notre Dame groups, and Royal runs three layouts, all Mercedes-Benz and all chauffeur-driven. For smaller groups, a premium SUV or the S-Class does the same all-day job.
| Your group | Book this | Why | Service page |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 to 14 | Sprinter limo (11 or 14) or Executive Shuttle Sprinter (14) | Everyone together; the van is your base in the lot | Mercedes Sprinter van rental |
| Up to 8 | Jet Executive Sprinter | Lounge seats and the most legroom for a 13 to 15 hour day | Chicago luxury Sprinter limo service |
| 15 to 56 | Two to four Sprinters on one plan | Royal doesn’t run buses; a Sprinter convoy leaves, parks and returns together | sporting event limo service |
| 2 to 6 | Premium SUV: Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Suburban | A quieter, faster all-day charter for couples, executives and families | luxury SUV rental |
| 1 to 3 | Mercedes S-Class 2027 | Executive sedan for one or two | S-Class limousine rental |
Escalade + Sprinter: hosts often ride in a chauffeured Escalade while guests take the Sprinter, so the host can leave early or stay late without breaking up the group. Both run on one dispatch plan. See all vehicles on the fleet page and the full Notre Dame game day Sprinter charter guide.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Jet Sprinter?
A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter fitted out like a private jet cabin, with fewer, larger seats and more legroom than a standard passenger van.
How many people fit in Royal’s Jet Sprinter?
Up to 8 passengers.
Is a Jet Sprinter worth it for a Notre Dame game?
For groups of 8 or fewer on a long day, yes. You get room to stretch out for about 4 hours of driving plus the tailgate and game.
Can we tailgate from the Jet Sprinter?
Yes. Your chauffeur parks in Notre Dame’s bus and RV lots and stays with the van, so your group can tailgate at the van and keep coats and bags locked inside.
Does the chauffeur stay all day?
Yes, on an all-day charter. The same chauffeur drives you there, waits through the game and drives you home.
What features does the Jet Sprinter have?
Features vary by van. Ask dispatch what’s in the Jet Sprinter available on your date.
Can the Jet Sprinter pick up guests at O’Hare?
Yes. We track the flights and meet your guests at O’Hare or Midway before driving to South Bend.
What if we have 10 people?
Book an 11- or 14-seat Sprinter limo, or a Jet Sprinter plus a second vehicle on one plan.
How much does a Jet Sprinter to Notre Dame cost?
It’s billed by the hour for the full day. A 20% gratuity is added and taxes and tolls are included. Request a quote for one written price.
Can we use the Jet Sprinter for a whole weekend?
Yes. A multi-day charter keeps the same van and chauffeur from Friday to Sunday.
Is the Jet Sprinter good for corporate guests?
Yes. It’s a common choice for hosts entertaining clients at a game, often paired with an SUV for the host.
How early should we book?
As soon as you have tickets; there are fewer Jet Sprinters than standard vans, and they book first.
