8-Seater Airport Taxi
The 8-Seater is Airportbee’s dedicated large-group vehicle — room for up to 7 passengers and 6 suitcases plus 6 cabin bags in a single transfer. When splitting a group across two smaller cars isn’t practical, the 8-Seater keeps everyone, and everything, together in one fixed-price journey.
8-Seater at a Glance
| Detail | 8-Seater |

| Passengers | Up to 7 |
| Luggage | 6 suitcases + 6 cabin bags |
| Best for | Large families and groups |
| Fare type | Fixed, confirmed before travel |

Who Should Book the 8-Seater
- Large families of five, six, or seven travelling together with full holiday luggage
- Groups of friends or colleagues flying to the same destination
- Golf, ski, or sports groups with bulky equipment alongside personal bags
- Event or conference groups arriving or departing together
- Anyone avoiding two separate bookings — one 8-Seater is often simpler and more comfortable than splitting a group across two smaller cars
When a Smaller Vehicle Will Do
Four passengers or fewer with standard luggage are usually better served — and better value — in a 6-Seater MPV, Estate, or Saloon.
Comfort, Space and What’s Included
- Fixed fare agreed before travel — traffic, tolls, congestion charge, diversions, extra stops or vehicle upgrades can affect the final confirmed fare
- Flight monitoring included as standard
- Meet & Greet available at every airport we cover
- 5 minutes’ free waiting time at a standard pickup address
- Child seats (baby, child, or booster) available on request
- PCO-licensed, fully insured, TfL-authorised driver — no tip expected
Peak-time fares apply Monday–Friday, 06:50–09:00 and 14:30–19:00. A delayed flight pushing pickup into a peak window is charged at the peak rate.

How the 8-Seater Compares
| Vehicle | Passengers | Luggage | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon | Up to 4 | 2 suitcases | Solo/couple, light luggage |
| Estate | 4 | 3 suitcases + 1 cabin bag | Couples or small families, extra bags |
| 6-Seater MPV | 4 or 6 | 4 suitcases (4 pax) / cabin bags only (6 pax) | Families and small groups |
| 8-Seater | Up to 7 | 6 suitcases + 6 cabin bags | Large groups |
| Executive | 4 | 2 suitcases + 2 cabin bags | Business travel, premium comfort |
8-Seater vs two Saloons: one 8-Seater booking keeps the whole group together, arriving and departing at the same time, rather than coordinating two separate cars and two separate fares.

Large Family Holidays

Colleagues flying to the same conference, or a group booking under a company account, benefit from one fixed fare and one pickup point. See Group Airport Transfers and Business Accounts.
