What is the difference between a taxi for a single person and a taxi for a group?

A saloon/estate car carries 1 to 4 people; for 5 to 8 people, the choice changes to a taxi bus. Luggage also counts: from 4 large suitcases or 6 pieces of hand luggage, the calculator automatically selects a bus.

Up to 3 large suitcases and 5 pieces of hand luggage, a saloon/estate car remains available. If you exceed either of these limits, the choice automatically changes to a taxi bus. We then determine which suitable saloon or estate car will carry out the journey.

Why checking this in advance makes a difference

The question “what is the difference between a taxi for a single person and a taxi for a group” usually doesn't arise for no reason. You want to arrive on time, avoid surprises, and know what to expect on the day itself. A comfortable journey doesn't just depend on the number of seats. Suitcases, mobility aids, prams, and special luggage take up space and together determine which vehicle is suitable for the booking.

The best preparation aligns with your own situation. Therefore, enter the number of people and luggage separately and honestly. The calculator uses this data to choose between a saloon/estate car and a taxi bus. For an unusual or large item, it is wiser to contact us in advance than to discover upon boarding that something doesn't fit.

How to apply this to your own journey

In the comments, state anything the driver needs to know in advance. Think about assistance with boarding, a folding wheelchair, a pet crate, or extra-large luggage. This way, the journey can begin without rush. Use the details of the actual traveller, even if someone else is making the booking.

After calculating, take a moment to check all the details before you pay. This way, the practical information from this article isn't just theory, but becomes a journey that has been clearly and calmly prepared.

In short

Passengers and luggage together determine the vehicle.
