Which vehicle fits your luggage?

For an airport transfer, passenger numbers are only part of the picture. Tell Andy’s Travel about every case and bulky item so we can arrange a suitable vehicle for your journey from North Staffordshire.

Count bags before choosing a car

Count large suitcases, cabin rollers and small bags separately. Include pushchairs, wheelchairs, golf clubs and other equipment. Give dimensions for unusually large items. “Four bags” can mean four small backpacks or four large cases, so the detail matters.

Our airport-transfer booking guide

Saloon: usually up to two passengers travelling with normal holiday luggage. Tell us the actual case sizes before booking.

Estate: up to four passengers with four large suitcases and small bags or backpacks, subject to the actual load. Four large suitcases plus ANY cabin roller or cabin case require a minibus under our booking rules.

Executive Mercedes E-Class: an option when the passenger and luggage load is suitable. It is not a substitute for a larger vehicle when luggage space is the issue.

Eight-seater minibus: discuss this for larger groups, bulky pushchairs, golf clubs, wheelchairs or multiple cabin cases alongside large suitcases. Groups above eight passengers need more than one vehicle. Confirm space and suitability before booking; a seat count is not a guarantee that every luggage combination fits.

Buying a cabin bag?

Check the allowance included in your own airline ticket before buying. A bag described as “cabin size” is not automatically accepted by every airline. Measure wheels, handles and filled dimensions, then check your return flight too.

Ad — affiliate link: we may earn a commission if you buy through our link, at no extra cost to you. Browse Cabin Max bags. Check the retailer for current dimensions, price, availability and returns. This is a range to compare, not a claim that every bag fits your flight.
