TIPS
Top Tips For Choosing The Right Airport Taxi
✔ Always go one size up if you're borderline If the calculator recommends a Saloon but you have four large cases, an Estate gives you the breathing room you need. Boot space figures are maximums, not guarantees.
✔ Don't forget hand luggage Most people remember their suitcases but forget to count carry-ons, laptop bags, pushchairs, or golf bags. Add everything into the calculator — it all takes up space.
✔ Pushchairs and wheelchairs count A folded pushchair or wheelchair takes up significant boot space. Include it in your luggage count by adding it as a large or extra-large bag.
✔ UK vehicle boots are smaller than you expect UK saloon cars typically have 200–250L of usable boot space — much less than an American or European SUV. Don't assume a standard taxi will swallow everything.
✔ Travelling with sports equipment? Golf clubs, skis, surfboards, or bike bags need specialist planning. If you're carrying oversized items, contact us before booking so we can make sure the right vehicle is available.
✔ Splitting luggage across two vehicles costs more If in doubt, upgrade the vehicle. Booking two smaller vehicles is almost always more expensive than booking one larger one — and far less convenient.
✔ Children's car seats take up space too If you're adding a child seat to your booking, bear in mind it occupies a full passenger seat and can limit boot access depending on the vehicle. Check our child seat guide for more.
