Our Fleet: Minicabs to 9-Seater MPVs

Airport CabConnect operates a range of vehicles for your every travel need, from a solo business trip to a full group transfer. Every vehicle is matched to your passenger count and luggage on booking, so the car that turns up is the one you actually need, not a squeeze. If you need a specific model from the options below, just let us know while booking, and we’ll arrange it where available. Travelling as a larger group? See Booking for Larger Groups below. We coordinate multiple vehicles so everyone still leaves together.

Note: At full passenger capacity, boot space is limited. If your group is travelling with a full luggage allowance each, let us know at booking, and we’ll recommend splitting the luggage across two vehicles or what suits you best.

Booking for Larger Groups

We offer up to 9 seats per vehicle, but that doesn’t mean larger groups are limited to it. Depending on your numbers, we offer two ways to travel together:

Split Across Multiple 9-Seaters

For most groups, we coordinate two or more of our own 9-seater MPVs so everyone leaves and arrives on the same schedule. You get vehicles from our regular fleet, the same maintenance and driver checks as every other booking on this page, with one coordinated pickup time for the whole party.

12, 14 & 16-Seater Minibuses
(Arranged on Request)

For larger single-vehicle bookings, we can arrange 12, 14, or 16-seater minibuses through our network of vetted private hire operators. Because these aren’t part of our own fleet, availability depends on your date and location, so it’s worth asking as early as possible — but the process stays the same as any other booking:

  • One fixed quote before you travel: We confirm the price with the partner operator upfront, so there’s no separate negotiation and no markup surprise on the day.
  • Licensing checked, not assumed: Any partner minibus and driver must hold valid private hire licensing before we’ll confirm the booking.
  • You deal with us, not a third party: Booking, changes, and flight-delay updates still go through Airport CabConnect; you’re not handed off to another company to sort out.

Which option is right for you? It depends on your group size, luggage, and route. As a rough guide, splitting across two of our own 9-seaters is often the more cost-effective choice for groups up to around 16 to 18. A single larger minibus can work out simpler (and sometimes cheaper) for bigger parties or where everyone travelling in one vehicle matters more than cost. Tell us your total passenger and luggage count when you book, and we’ll tell you which option is more affordable for your specific trip rather than defaulting to one.

Safety & Maintenance

Every journey with Airport CabConnect is subject to the same standards, regardless of the vehicle you book.

Maintenance Protocol

Every vehicle is serviced on a monthly schedule by qualified technicians, with roadworthiness and safety checks carried out in line with UK private hire licensing requirements.

Licensed, Vetted Drivers

All drivers hold a valid private hire licence, carry full insurance, and have passed a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) background check before they’re approved to drive for us.

Live Journey Tracking

Vehicles are fitted with GPS tracking, so your journey status and estimated arrival time are visible to our dispatch team throughout the trip.

Still Unsure Which Vehicle You Need?

Tell us your passenger and luggage count when you book, including large groups, and we’ll recommend the right fit or the right combination of vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of vehicles do you offer?

We offer seven options: Saloon, Green Class (hybrid), Executive Saloon, Estate, People Carrier, Large People Carrier (9-Seater MPV), and, for bigger groups, partner-arranged 12, 14 & 16-seater minibuses. Every vehicle is matched to your passenger count and luggage at the time of booking, so the car that turns up is the one you actually need.

How many passengers and how much luggage does each vehicle take?

Saloon, Green Class, and Executive Saloon each seat 4 passengers with room for 2 checked-in and 2 cabin suitcases. Estate also seats 4, with slightly more boot space at 3 checked-in and 2 cabin suitcases. People Carrier seats 6 with 4 checked-in and 4 cabin suitcases, and the Large People Carrier (9-Seater MPV) seats 9 with the same 4 checked-in and 4 cabin suitcase allowance. If your group is travelling at full passenger capacity with a full luggage allowance each, let us know at booking — we’ll recommend splitting the luggage across two vehicles if needed, since boot space is limited when every seat is full.

Saloon vs Executive Saloon car, what’s the difference?

Both seat 4 passengers with the same luggage allowance (2 checked-in, 2 cabin suitcases), but they’re built for different trips. The Saloon (e.g. Toyota Corolla, Skoda Octavia, Ford Mondeo) is the affordable, comfortable option for individuals or small groups. The Executive Saloon (e.g. Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, Jaguar XF) is the premium option, with extra legroom and a quieter cabin, suited to business travel and executive airport transfers.

Can I book for a group bigger than 9?

Yes, in two ways. For most large groups, we coordinate two or more of our own 9-seater MPVs with one synchronised pickup time, so everyone leaves and arrives on the same schedule. For bigger single-vehicle bookings, we can also arrange a 12, 14, or 16-seater minibus through our network of vetted private hire operators, availability depends on your date and location since these sit outside our own fleet, so it’s worth asking early. Either way, booking, changes, and flight-delay updates stay with us directly.

Multiple 9-seaters vs one minibus, which is cheaper?

It depends on your group size, luggage, and route. As a rough guide, splitting across two of our own 9-seater MPVs is often the more cost-effective choice for groups up to around 16–18 people, while a single larger minibus can work out simpler and sometimes cheaper for bigger parties, or when travelling together in one vehicle matters more than cost. Tell us your total passenger and luggage count when you book, and we’ll confirm which option is more affordable for your specific trip rather than defaulting to one.
