Vehicles

Eight classes, sized to the luggage

Seat counts mislead. A vehicle that seats four rarely carries four people’s checked bags, which is why the capacities below are quoted for full-size cases rather than for cabin bags.

Sizing

How to choose without getting it wrong

Most disappointing transfers are a sizing failure. Use the table below to translate what you are actually carrying into the bag count we quote against.

What you are carryingCounts as
Full-size checked case (26–30 inch)1 bag
Cabin bag or backpackFree — rides on a lap or in the footwell
Golf bag2 bags
Ski or snowboard bag2 bags, and needs an SUV or larger
Folding pushchair1 bag
Cello or large instrument case2 bags, plus a seat if it cannot lie flat
Camera or lighting case2 bags — give us the count for production work
Child seat (fitted by us)Occupies a passenger seat, no luggage cost

When in doubt, tell us the bags, not the class

Give a coordinator a passenger count and a bag count and we will pick the vehicle. Getting this wrong at the kerb costs an hour and a second car; getting it right at the quote costs nothing.
