When a saloon is not enough
Most of the time, the question is not "how many people?" but "how much stuff?". Four adults fit in a saloon. Four adults with four large suitcases do not. Add a pushchair, a car seat or a set of golf clubs and the answer is clear. A 6 seater taxi gives you the extra seats and, just as importantly, the boot space behind them.
It is also cheaper and simpler than booking two cars. One vehicle means one fare, one driver, one pick-up time and everyone arriving together.
Who uses our 6 seater MPV?
Families heading on holiday
Two parents, two or three children and a fortnight of luggage: this is the classic MPV booking. Child seats can be fitted on request, and there is room to keep a changing bag or snacks within reach. Most of these trips go to Gatwick or Heathrow in the small hours.
Friends and colleagues
Six friends heading to a wedding in Surrey, a team of colleagues travelling to a client in the City, or a group going to a match. Splitting one fixed fare between six often costs each person less than a train ticket.
Bulky equipment
Musicians with instruments, sports teams with kit bags, and people moving a few boxes to a new flat all book the MPV. Fold some seats and there is space for awkward shapes.
Seats and luggage at a glance
| Group size | Suggested vehicle | Typical luggage |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 people | Saloon | 2 large cases |
| 4 people with luggage | 6 seater MPV | 4 large cases |

| 7–8 people | 7/8 seater MPV | Up to 6 large cases |
These numbers are a guide. Oversized cases, buggies and sports bags take extra room, so tell us what you are carrying and we will confirm the right vehicle.
Comfort on the move
Sliding side doors make it easy to load children and help older passengers in and out without stepping into the road. The higher seating position gives everyone a view, which helps anyone who feels carsick on longer journeys. For school families, the MPV doubles as a shared school run taxi for neighbours.
Travelling with a baby or toddler? Tell us the child's age and weight when you book. Child seats are supplied on request, and the right seat makes the journey safer and calmer.
