A group airport transfer in London has one honest test: total cost per person, door to terminal, with the luggage. Split a group of eight into two or three app cars and you pay two or three separately surge-priced fares, arrive at different times, and hope every driver takes the bags. Book one 8-seater or 16-seater on a fixed fare and you pay one agreed price, the vehicle is guaranteed at booking, and the whole group travels together.
Pick the right vehicle
| Vehicle | Passengers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | 1–4 | Couples and small families with standard luggage |
| 8-seater | Up to 7 | Larger families, friend groups, golf and ski trips |
| 16-seater minibus | Up to 16 | Teams, stag/hen parties, corporate groups, events |
The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives. That's the structural difference from app XL options, where the larger vehicle is subject to whoever happens to be online near you at pickup time.
The per-person maths
One fixed fare divided by eight or sixteen passengers is where group travel gets cheap. There's no surge multiplication across multiple cars, no separate booking fees, and no one stuck waiting for a second car that never matches. We worked a real cheapest-per-person example on the Bristol to London City group route — the same logic applies on every London airport run.
Exact fixed fares depend on route and vehicle and are confirmed instantly at booking.

FAQs
How many people fit in each vehicle?
A saloon takes 1–4 passengers, an 8-seater up to 7, and a 16-seater minibus up to 16. The vehicle you book is guaranteed at booking, not assigned on the day.
What happens if one member of the group is late?
One booking, one pickup window — the driver waits for the group within the booked slot. The full policy is on our late group member FAQ.
Can we request child seats?
Tell us what you need at booking — ages and how many — and we'll confirm what can be provided for your vehicle before the journey.
Is one minibus really cheaper than several app cars?
Usually, yes — one fixed fare split across 8 or 16 people beats two or three separately surge-priced app cars, and the whole group arrives together with the luggage in one vehicle.
