What is a 8 Seater?
An 8 seater is a licensed minibus carrying up to eight passengers with eight large cases, from £80. It is the largest private hire vehicle we run.
Split eight ways, a £80 transfer is about £10 each, which is why group holidays and sports teams book this one almost without considering the alternatives.
Eight seats means eight seats. Under UK licensing an eight seater carries eight passengers plus the driver, and infants in arms still occupy a seat. For nine to sixteen, our 16 seater minibus takes the whole party in one vehicle, so nobody travels separately.
Moving a full group in one vehicle
The case for an 8 seater airport transfer is arithmetic and timing. From Heathrow to central London, two saloons for six or eight people come to £160 against £120 for one 8 seater, and the two cars arrive at different times.
It also takes bulk luggage properly. Eight cases is a genuine eight, not eight if some of them are soft bags, and there is room left for hand luggage on top.
- Group holidays leaving from one address
- Sports teams and touring parties with kit
- Extended families travelling together, including grandparents
- Corporate away days and site visits
- Any party of five to eight that would otherwise book two cars

What an 8 seater booking includes
One fare covers the whole vehicle. It does not change with how many of the eight seats are occupied.
- A licensed private hire minibus and a DBS checked driver
- Sixty minutes of free waiting on airport pickups, timed from landing
- Live flight tracking against the number you give us
- Loading help for a full set of eight cases
- Tolls, the congestion charge, ULEZ, parking and airport charges
- Child and booster seats on request, with 12 hours' notice
One 8 seater or two saloons?
Six passengers in two saloons is from around £140. The same six in one 8 seater is from £80, and they travel together.
The case for two saloons is comfort over a long distance, since a minibus rides higher and firmer than a car. On most runs of an hour or less the 8 seater costs less than two saloons and keeps the group together. Past two hours, and particularly with an older party, ask us to quote both.
What our clients say about us
Very easy to book and the price was clear from the start. The driver was professional and the vehicle was clean. I would definitely use TAXIQO again.
