Vehicle types and passenger and vehicle capacities

It is important for your own comfort and to fulfil legal requirements that you book the right sized car for your journey. Each person in your party must have their own seat, this includes small children and babies. Please note that cars in the UK are significantly smaller than their counterparts in some other countries especially in the USA, Australia, Middle east etc. We cannot emphasise more the need to book the right sized vehicle to meet your requirement; failure to do this will result in you being stranded at the airport or a considerably greater cost to transfer you to your destination.

Note: * = one suitcase, = one person
