Reader, I tested this. I borrowed a Mercedes Sprinter for a weekend to move a vintage arcade machine (yes, that’s a real thing I own). The van was clean, the air conditioning worked, and the steering wheel was still warm from the last driver’s hands—which is weird, but not gross. The experience was so smooth I almost missed the paperwork.
The vehicles are typically under two years old, so you’re not driving a relic from the 1990s. They come with GPS, Bluetooth, and—praise the logistics gods—a backup camera. You can parallel park a monster without having to exit the vehicle and use interpretive dance to guide yourself in.
