  • Lexani Motorcars builds Mercedes Sprinter vans that look unassuming from the outside, but have all the luxuries and amenities of a private jet inside.
  • The company's vans come appointed with plush leather seats, home-theater systems, kitchenettes, built-in iPads and computers, and liquor cabinets.
  • All that comes at a steep price, however — $250,000 may buy you a basic Lexani build, but you'll need to shell out closer to $550,000 for an option-packed van.

What's a VIP to do when they need to travel somewhere, but their private jet is in the shop? Lexani Motorcars, a California-based company known for customizing immensely opulent Escalades, Navigators, and the like, has the answer.

The company sells a whole line of lavish Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-based "mobile offices" — fancily named the Grazia, the Malaga, the Ashford, and the Ambassador — built for executives and other monied folks to relax and get work done on the go.

And Lexani's vans boast plenty of amenities to back up their expensive-sounding names and six-figure price tags — some features include massaging seats, marble flooring, home-theater systems, bar stations, and built-in computers.

Not to mention, for a bit of extra cash, buyers can choose from seven levels of bulletproofing to make their journeys as worry-free as possible. A fully loaded van, a Lexani spokesperson told Business Insider, can run a customer up to $550,000.

Check out some of Lexani's lavish Sprinters below.
