Vehicles for Your Port Transfer

Different vehicles are available for different passenger and luggage requirements. It is important to count both large suitcases and smaller bags before confirming your reservation.

Saloon Cars

A saloon car is a practical choice for up to four passengers travelling with a moderate amount of luggage. It is suitable for solo travellers, couples and small families.

A typical saloon vehicle can accommodate:

• Up to four passengers
• Two check-in suitcases
• Two pieces of hand luggage

Passengers carrying oversized bags, pushchairs, mobility equipment or several large cases should consider booking a larger vehicle.

Estate Cars

An estate car provides additional luggage space while retaining the comfort of a standard private car. It is useful for passengers travelling with extra suitcases, cruise bags or bulky items.

MPVs and People Carriers

An MPV is suitable for families and groups who require more passenger capacity. Depending on the selected model, an MPV may carry between five and eight passengers.

When reserving an MPV, provide an accurate luggage count. Filling every passenger seat may reduce the available space for suitcases.

Executive Cars

Executive cars offer a refined travel experience for corporate passengers, special occasions and travellers who prefer a premium vehicle. These cars provide comfortable seating, a professional appearance and additional privacy.

Executive vehicles are also suitable for business travellers travelling directly from the port to a meeting, corporate venue or central London hotel.

Minibuses for Larger Groups

A minibus may be required for cruise groups, extended families or passengers travelling together with substantial luggage. Group transport keeps everyone in one vehicle and avoids the need to coordinate several separate taxis.

Fixed and Transparent Port Transfer Fares

A pre-booked transfer gives you a confirmed fare before the journey begins. The quoted price should be based on the information supplied during the reservation, including the pickup point, destination, passenger number, vehicle type and luggage requirements.

A clear quotation gives you greater peace of mind because you can plan your travel costs in advance. The journey is not priced using a street taxi meter that continues increasing during slow-moving traffic.

Additional charges may apply when:

• The pickup or destination changes
• Extra stops are requested
• A larger vehicle is required
• The passenger count increases
• Waiting time exceeds the included allowance
• Oversized luggage was not declared
• Additional parking costs are incurred

Review your booking details before confirming payment to ensure the quotation matches your complete journey.
