An V Class taxi in London solves the problem every group of five, six or seven knows: two ordinary cars means two fares, two drivers, two arrival times, and a negotiation about who takes the bags. One V Class on a fixed fare means one price for the vehicle, everyone travelling together, and a boot that actually fits a group's luggage.
Capacity, honestly stated
An V Class carries up to 7 passengers plus luggage — the eighth seat is the driver's. A party of exactly 8 fits the 9-seater option instead. Give us your headcount and luggage at booking and the right vehicle is confirmed before you travel; the vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives, not whatever happens to be nearby on the day.
The per-person maths
| Approach | What you pay | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Two separate saloons | Two full fares | Split group, split luggage, two arrival times |
| Two app cars at a peak | Two surge-priced fares | Same split, plus demand pricing on both |
| One V Class, fixed | One agreed fare | Whole group together, one price, no surge |
Exact fixed fares depend on route and are confirmed instantly at booking — the quoted price is the final price.
V Class airport transfers
Airport runs are where the V Class earns its keep: one vehicle takes the whole family or group door to terminal, with free meet & greet in arrivals, 60 minutes of free waiting, and free live traffic routing. There's no night premium either — a 4am departure costs the same as a 4pm one.

FAQs
How many passengers fit in an V Class taxi?
Up to 7 passengers plus luggage — the eighth seat is the driver's. A party of exactly 8 fits the 9-seater option; tell us your headcount and luggage at booking and we'll confirm the right vehicle.
Is one V Class cheaper than two saloons?
Almost always — one fixed fare split across 7 people beats two separately priced cars, and the whole group travels together with the luggage in one vehicle.
Is the V Class fare fixed?
Yes. It's agreed on distance and vehicle at booking and doesn't change with traffic, time, weather or demand — the same fixed price at 3am as at 3pm.
Can we get an V Class for an airport pickup?
Yes — airport pickups include free meet & greet in arrivals with 60 minutes of free waiting and free live traffic routing. The vehicle you book is guaranteed, not assigned on the day.
