Vehicle and Luggage Options
Travelling with Luggage
For most Hatfield passengers with one or two standard hold bags per person, a Saloon covers up to four passengers. Where luggage volume is significant — for example, four passengers each with a large suitcase — an Estate or MPV5 is more appropriate. Confirm luggage requirements at booking.
Families and Groups
Families with pushchairs, car seats and multiple bags benefit from an MPV booking, which covers the whole party and all luggage in one vehicle. Groups of five or more need an MPV as standard.
Choosing a Larger Vehicle
If the combined luggage would fill a standard estate car boot, a Saloon is not the right vehicle class. Our team can advise at +44 20 3617 7825 for any unusual luggage requirements, including sports equipment, instruments or oversized cases.
