A saloon can look perfectly fine when you’re booking it online.
Then the day comes. Two adults, two large suitcases, hand luggage, maybe a buggy as well. Suddenly you’re standing beside the car wondering where everything is supposed to go.
So, saloon or MPV for the airport?
It really comes down to the people travelling and, often, the luggage.
Travelling as a Couple?
For two people heading from Epsom to Heathrow or Gatwick, a saloon may be all you need.
If you’re taking a couple of normal suitcases and some hand luggage, there isn’t much reason to book a much larger vehicle. It can be a straightforward airport run.
But have a quick think about the bags first.
Two passengers with two small cases is one thing. Two passengers with four big cases, golf clubs and half the contents of the house is another.
Families Usually Need a Bit More Room
This is where an MPV starts making more sense.
You’ve got the children, obviously, then the pushchair, changing bag, coats, toys, luggage… it adds up very quickly. And yes, technically everyone may fit in a saloon. Getting everything into it without squashing the bags into every available space is another matter.
Station Cars Epsom has larger MPV options for this kind of journey.
The same applies if you’re coming from nearby Ewell. For Ewell West Taxi Services & Airport Transfers, tell the company how many people are travelling and what you’re carrying. It saves a bit of guesswork.
What If You’re Travelling for Work?
Then luggage may not be the main concern.
You might be collecting a client, heading to a meeting before a flight or arranging transport for someone visiting Epsom from overseas. That’s where an Executive Car Service in Epsom can make more sense than simply booking the biggest vehicle available.
You’re looking at the type of journey, not just the number of seats.
And sometimes you just want someone else to deal with the little details.
One More Thing: The Return Journey
Your return from the airport might not look like the trip out.
Maybe you’re bringing back extra luggage. Maybe the children have picked up several things while away. Maybe another passenger is joining you.
So when booking, think about both journeys.
Station Cars Epsom has saloons, MPVs and larger vehicles for airport transfers around Epsom and nearby areas. Give them the passenger number and a rough idea of the luggage.
There’s no prize for choosing the smallest car.
Choose the one that gives everyone enough room to sit, put their bags somewhere sensible and get to the airport without starting the holiday already annoyed.
