Standard Private Hire Vehicles
Standard Saloon Cars
A standard saloon is a practical choice for individuals, couples and small groups who want a comfortable private transfer. Saloon cars are particularly suitable for airport journeys, hotel pickups, business appointments and everyday private hire.
Our published guide capacity is up to four passengers, with space typically allocated for two suitcases and two smaller bags. Actual luggage capacity depends on the vehicle, suitcase dimensions and passenger configuration. All luggage must be securely accommodated in the vehicle.
Best suited to: airport transfers, couples, individual travellers and small parties with standard luggage.
Estate Cars for Additional Luggage
An estate car provides additional luggage flexibility compared with many standard saloons. It can be a useful choice for airport passengers carrying larger suitcases, business equipment or additional travel bags.
Estate vehicles are suitable for individuals, couples and small groups who need a balance between passenger comfort and luggage capacity. Our published guide capacity is up to four passengers, with the actual number and size of bags subject to the allocated vehicle.
Best suited to: airport transfers, longer journeys and passengers carrying more luggage than a standard saloon can accommodate.
MPV and People Carrier Vehicles
A people carrier or MPV offers a practical alternative for families and passengers who prefer a more spacious passenger cabin. Depending on the particular vehicle, the configuration may provide easier access and a different balance of passenger seating and luggage space.
Our standard MPV category is intended for up to five passengers, subject to the specific vehicle allocated. The amount of luggage that can be carried depends on the seating arrangement and the dimensions of the bags.
When booking an airport transfer, please tell us how many passengers are travelling and how many large suitcases, cabin bags, pushchairs or other items you need to transport.
Best suited to: families, small groups and passengers who need a spacious cabin or a flexible passenger and luggage arrangement.
Executive Chauffeur Cars
For corporate journeys, executive airport transfers and occasions when a premium saloon is preferred, we offer executive vehicle options subject to availability. These vehicles provide an alternative to a standard private hire car for business travellers, hotel transfers, meetings and other pre-booked journeys.
Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series Executive Saloons
The Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series are established executive saloon choices for business passengers and customers who prefer a more premium vehicle for their journey.
An executive saloon can be suitable for corporate airport pickups, business meetings, hotel transfers and longer journeys where a professional presentation and comfortable passenger environment are important.
Explore our dedicated Mercedes E-Class chauffeur service for more information.
Best suited to: business travellers, executive airport transfers and private journeys requiring an executive saloon.
Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7 Series VIP Executive Saloons
The Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7 Series are premium executive saloons for customers seeking a higher level of vehicle refinement for private and business travel.
Depending on availability, these vehicles may be suitable for senior executives, VIP airport transfers, important business meetings and special occasions. Passenger and luggage capacity must be confirmed for the specific vehicle before the journey.
Visit our Mercedes S-Class chauffeur service page to explore this executive vehicle category.
Best suited to: VIP transfers, executive travel and customers who specifically prefer a premium luxury saloon.
Executive People Carriers and Group Vehicles
Mercedes V-Class and Viano Executive People Carriers
The Mercedes V-Class and comparable executive people carriers combine a spacious passenger compartment with a premium vehicle style. They can be a suitable choice when a saloon is too small for the group or when passengers want to travel together in an executive people carrier.
Depending on the model and seating configuration, these vehicles can accommodate larger families, business groups and airport passengers travelling with luggage. The exact passenger and luggage allowance should always be confirmed before booking.
The V-Class is particularly worth considering for private airport transfers, corporate group journeys and longer-distance travel when the preferred vehicle is a premium people carrier rather than a conventional saloon.
Best suited to: executive group transfers, family airport journeys and customers who want a premium people carrier.
7–8 Seater Vehicles and Minivans
Our larger people carrier and minivan category is designed for families and groups who want to travel together in one vehicle. Depending on availability, options may include suitable Mercedes and Volkswagen passenger vehicle configurations.
An 8-seater vehicle can be useful for airport transfers, holidays, sightseeing, private group journeys and transport to events. However, maximum seating capacity does not automatically mean that the vehicle can accommodate the same number of large suitcases.
For this reason, please provide the total number of passengers, large suitcases and hand luggage when requesting your quotation. We can then check whether one vehicle is appropriate or whether an alternative arrangement should be considered.
Best suited to: larger families, airport groups, holiday travel and pre-booked private transportation for several passengers.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Executive Minibus Hire
An executive minibus can provide a practical transport solution for larger groups travelling to the same destination. Depending on the vehicle configuration and availability, larger minibus options can be arranged for corporate events, airport group transfers, conferences, organised tours and private occasions.
Our fleet information includes Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibus options, with configurations advertised in the 16–24 passenger category. The precise number of available seats and the permitted luggage allowance must be confirmed for the actual vehicle supplied.
For larger bookings, please tell us the group size, collection and destination addresses, journey date, luggage requirements and any scheduled stops. This allows us to assess the appropriate vehicle arrangement before confirming the quotation.
Best suited to: corporate groups, conferences, organised excursions and larger pre-booked transfers.
How to Choose the Right Vehicle for Your Journey
The most suitable vehicle depends on more than the number of passengers. Luggage dimensions, the type of journey, seating requirements and your preferred level of comfort can all affect the best choice.
- For one or two passengers: consider a standard saloon for a straightforward private transfer, provided your luggage fits comfortably.
- For extra luggage: consider an estate car or a suitable larger vehicle, depending on the number and size of your bags.
- For executive business travel: consider a Mercedes E-Class or another available executive saloon.
- For VIP travel: request a Mercedes S-Class or another specifically preferred luxury vehicle and confirm availability before booking.
- For families and small groups: an MPV or people carrier may provide a more practical passenger arrangement.
- For larger groups: consider a 7–8 seater vehicle or a suitable minibus.
- For substantial luggage loads: provide the exact number of large suitcases and cabin bags before choosing a vehicle.
If you are unsure which vehicle is most appropriate, contact our team with your travel details. We can help you identify a suitable option based on the information you provide and the vehicles available for your journey.
