The models shown are typical examples of each class, not a promise of a particular car. The operator you choose decides which vehicle is sent. If a specific model matters to you, mention it in your special requests and the operator will tell you whether they can provide it.
Luggage figures are for full-size checked suitcases. Most cars also fit a few small bags or carry-ons. If you have bulky items such as golf clubs, skis, a pushchair or a wheelchair, say so in your special requests, or choose the Estate, MPV or a Minibus for extra space.
The Saloon, Estate and Executive seat up to four passengers. For up to seven, choose the MPV; for eight or nine, a Minibus; and for up to fourteen, a Minicoach.
Yes. Add the number of child seats and each child's age when you request a quote. The operator confirms whether they can provide the right seats, and any charge, before you book.
Not as a separate class yet. If you need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, mention it in your special requests so the operator can tell you what they can provide, or send us a message.
