Why Group Travel Needs a Smart Transport Solution
Booking separate vehicles can lead to higher costs, delays, and a lot of confusion. Instead, hiring a suitable group vehicle from a trusted service like Clock Tower Car Gatwick ensures everyone stays together, reaches Gatwick Airport on time, and does so in comfort.
Plus, by booking a shared ride, you reduce the number of cars on the road—helping to lower carbon emissions. It’s a small step, but a big impact on the environment.
Understanding Your Group’s Transport Needs
Headcount Comes First
The size of your group is the main factor in deciding what kind of vehicle you need.
- 1-4 passengers: Saloon or executive car
- 5-8 passengers: MPV or minibus
- 9-16 passengers: Minibus or multiple vehicles
Amount of Luggage Matters
If you’re travelling with large suitcases, sports equipment, or strollers, this needs to be factored in.
- A family of 4 with large bags? Go for an MPV.
- Business group with carry-ons? A saloon or executive car could be perfect.
Trip Purpose Influences Vehicle Choice
- Leisure travel: Comfort and luggage space matter.
