Choosing a transfer vehicle by passenger count alone can leave too little space for the journey. The useful calculation includes people, large bags, special equipment, child seats, and the comfort expected over the route.
Executive car or SUV
An executive-class request suits a small party prioritising a business-style arrival or discreet chauffeur service. An SUV is the common starting point for private airport and city transfers, but its usable luggage space depends on the assigned model.
Do not assume every vehicle in a class has identical capacity. State the number of cabin bags and large suitcases so the coordinator can confirm a suitable model.
When a van is the better choice
A van is often appropriate for families, groups, and luggage-heavy airport arrivals. It can also be the safer request for child seats, pushchairs, golf bags, or several large cases. Extra room can matter more than filling every available passenger seat.
Minibuses and large groups
For larger groups, provide the complete passenger and luggage total rather than dividing the request informally. The coordinator needs to verify both seating configuration and luggage storage. A nominal passenger capacity does not guarantee room for every large bag.
Details to declare
- Adults, children, and infants
- Large suitcases and cabin bags
- Child-seat type
- Wheelchairs or mobility equipment
- Surfboards, golf bags, skis, or bicycles
- Multiple pickup points or planned stops
The exact model should remain subject to written confirmation. Treat website vehicle images as class examples unless the booking explicitly guarantees a model. A clear declaration gives the operator a much better chance of assigning appropriate space the first time.
