Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. We offer one for 1-3 passengers and another for 1-4 passengers, which is useful if you carry extra luggage. For bigger parties, our private minibuses start at 8 seats and continue in steps of 8 through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 up to 64 seats. This suits school trips, sports teams, wedding guests and corporate groups. Please give the exact number of passengers and bags when you book, so the right vehicle is ready.
