Our fleet: pick the car by seats and suitcases

A family of four with four or five large suitcases usually fits the Toyota Alphard or Vellfire, which seats six and takes five large bags. If you are six or seven people with a lot of luggage, the Mercedes V-Class seats up to seven and also takes five bags, though five passengers is the comfortable number. The Toyota Noah or Voxy is the lighter option: it suits three people with two large cases well. Tell us passengers and suitcases when you book and we will confirm the right size.

The Mercedes E-Class takes up to four passengers, three in comfort, with two large bags. It is the sensible choice for a business traveller or a couple heading to the airport. The Mercedes S-Class seats three, two comfortably, with two bags, and is the car to book when the ride itself matters: hosting a senior guest, a groom car, or a long day of meetings across the CBD. Both are available for transfers, hourly charter and full days.

The 13-seater minibus, a Toyota Hiace Combi, carries up to 13 passengers with nine in comfort, and takes ten large bags. Above that, the 23-seater coach seats up to 23, with 20 in comfort and room for twelve large bags. For the largest groups we run a 45 or 49-seater bus. Coaches can be booked hourly with a three-hour minimum, and longer days of ten hours or more move to a lower extended hourly rate.

For most airport and family trips the choice comes down to the Alphard and the V-Class. Both take five large suitcases. The Alphard seats six in individual seats and is often booked for weddings and hotel pickups. The V-Class seats seven and suits corporate teams travelling together. On fares, the Alphard arrival starts from $85 and the V-Class from $95, while their local transfer fares are the same at $70. If seats are tight, the V-Class wins. If comfort for four to five matters most, either works well.
