Book the 8-seater minibus. It carries up to 8 passengers with a case each, so nobody's left juggling bags on their lap, and it's a fixed price rather than the online estimates you'll see elsewhere. From central Bristol to the airport that's from £85 fixed (the £39 saloon fare plus roughly £45 for the larger vehicle), the same whether you book weeks ahead or the night before.

What actually fits
| Vehicle | Passengers | Large cases | Fare vs saloon |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPV | Up to 5 or 6 | 4 to 5 | + about £25 |
| Mercedes V-Class | Up to 8 | 6 to 8 | Executive rate |
| 8-seater minibus | Up to 8 | 6 to 8 | + about £45 |
Eight people and eight cases is an 8-seater or V-Class job, not two saloons split awkwardly. If you're closer to 5 or 6 with a normal amount of luggage, an MPV is usually enough and cheaper.
Why "fixed" matters more for a group
Aggregator sites quoting for a group of 8 typically show a range, something like £97 to £125, because they don't know your exact car until the day. We quote the actual fare for the actual vehicle when you book, in writing, and it doesn't move for traffic, time of day or how many cases turn up at the kerb. One booking, one price, split however you like between 8 people.
Booking it right
Tell us your headcount and luggage count when you book, not just the number of people, since a group with hand luggage only might fit an MPV while the same headcount with a case each needs the 8-seater. If you're not sure, call 0117 966 6666 and we'll say honestly which vehicle actually fits rather than sending something too small.
The honest version
If it's genuinely 4 people with light luggage, don't book the 8-seater, a saloon or estate will do it for less. The bigger vehicle earns its premium when the headcount and the luggage both say so, and it's still one fixed price for the whole group rather than 8 separate app fares at whatever the app decides that morning.
