Our fleet
Vehicle types
We provide various different types of quality vehicles — the size we send depends on the number of passengers travelling to or from the cruise ship.
We provide various different types of quality vehicles as follows: -
Saloon car
This is our standard type vehicle which can carry up to 3 passengers, 3 suitcases and 3 handluggage. We use only modern comfortable cars and as often as possible we use Mercedes as standard.
Small MPV
This type of vehicle can carry up to 5 passengers maximum, however, we try to keep it to just 4 passengers to ensure passenger comfort. It would normally be a Kia Sedona, Ford Galaxy or Chrysler Grand Voyager.
Large MPV
This type of vehicle can carry up to 8 passengers with 8 suitcases and 8 handluggage. It would normally be Mercedes Viano/Vito or VW Transporter. We try to provide these vehicles with leather upholstery and air-conditioning as standard.
Super luxury car
This type of vehicle is our top service, we would normally only carry maximum 3 passengers, 3 suitcases & 3 handluggage. It would normally be Rolls Royce or Bentley with all of the refined extras you would expect from such luxury.
Minibus / minicoach
This is an example of the type of minicoach/minibus that we use on our cruise transfers. They can carry up to 16 passengers, 16 suitcases and 16 handluggage. We use only modern comfortable vehicles and as often as possible we use Mercedes minicoaches/minibuses as standard.
