Looking to cut down on the number of fender-benders marring your service vans — and driving up insurance costs? Check out the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, which starts at more than $32,000.

  • Lane Keeping Assist: Uses downward-facing cameras to warn the driver with an audible signal when they have entered another lane without indicating.
