Quick Luggage Rule of Thumb
Executive Saloons (Mercedes E-Class / S-Class) carry a maximum of 2 large checked suitcases (23kg) plus 2 cabin bags. If your party has 3 or more large cases, golf bags, or cruise luggage, you must book a Mercedes V-Class (holds up to 7 large cases) or a 16-Seater Minibus.

2. Why Saloon Boot Space Is Often Overestimated
High-end luxury sedans like the Mercedes S-Class and E-Class have generous passenger legroom, but their boots are geometrically fixed by rear suspension and hybrid battery enclosures:
- Hard Shell Cases: Rigid 30-inch hard-shell suitcases cannot be deformed to squeeze into tight corners.
- Safety Regulations: UK private hire regulations forbid drivers from stacking luggage above seat levels in the rear cabin, as loose items become high-velocity hazards under emergency braking.
3. Traveling with Bulky or Specialized Items
- Golf Bags: A single golf travel bag takes the space of two standard large suitcases. Always select a Mercedes V-Class when traveling with golf clubs.
- Prams & Child Strollers: Foldable umbrella buggies fit into saloons; full-size travel prams (e.g. Bugaboo, Silver Cross) require an MPV.
- Ski Equipment / Snowboards: Require vehicle roof racks or our Mercedes V-Class with rear fold-down seat configuration.
