Limousine service

A limousine service that tells you which car

The complaint about this category is always the same: you book a "luxury vehicle" and something else turns up. So this page starts with what the cars actually are.

01

What "limousine" means here

It is worth being blunt about the word, because it means two different things in two markets. In German, Limousine is simply the ordinary word for a saloon car — it carries no suggestion of length or novelty. In English it often means a stretch limousine, and that is not what this is.

We do not operate stretch limousines, party buses or novelty vehicles. What we operate is executive and flagship saloons with a professional driver, plus a van for groups and luggage. If you are booking a school prom or a hen party and you want a vehicle that is itself the entertainment, we are the wrong company and would rather say so on this page than at the kerb.

02

The two classes people mean

Business Class is the executive saloon — the default for work travel, quiet enough to take a call, with a boot built for checked luggage rather than weekend bags. First Class is the flagship: the long-wheelbase, rear-seat-first car, booked for board-level guests, client collection and journeys where the vehicle is part of the impression.

Both are quoted as named model classes rather than as a vague tier, and both come with the same driver standard, the same flight tracking and the same fixed price as any other booking on this site. The badge on the bonnet is the difference. It is not a different service.

03

What the step up actually costs

Every class on this site is priced from the same published rate card, so the gap between them is arithmetic rather than a sales conversation. The figures below are the real ones the checkout will quote, worked at a representative airport distance — put your own two addresses into the booking form and it does the same sum on your journey.

The step from Business to First is the largest on the card, and it is honest to say that most business travel does not need it. It is booked when the passenger is being met rather than merely moved.

When people book this class

Client collection, where the car is the first thing a visitor sees of the company hosting them. Board-level and delegation travel. Trade fairs, where the alternative at seven in the morning is a taxi rank with forty people on it. Weddings and formal events, where the requirement is usually not spectacle but a car that is clean, on time, and driven by somebody in a suit.

Above three passengers the answer changes shape: a saloon seats three whatever the badge, so a party of four or more moves to the van rather than to a bigger saloon. The booking form works that out from the passenger count and stops offering what will not fit.

What is included

The same on every route, in every class, at every hour.

Fixed price

Agreed in full before you book. Traffic, tolls and airport charges are already in it — the meter does not exist.

Flight tracking

We watch the flight number you give us. Land early or three hours late and the pickup moves with you, at no extra cost.

Meet and greet

Your driver waits inside arrivals holding a name sign, helps with the luggage and walks you to the car.

60 minutes waiting

Free waiting time after touchdown — enough for passport control and baggage reclaim without anyone watching a clock.

Door to door

From the exact address to the exact address. Not to the nearest station, and not to a rank at the end of the road.

Child seats

Infant, child and booster seats specified at booking. They are not charged as an extra.

Free cancellation

Cancel up to 24 hours before pickup at no charge. Plans change; that is not something to be fined for.

Professional drivers

Licensed, insured, English- and German-speaking, and briefed on your journey before they set off.

Fixed price

When the cheaper class is the right answer

If nobody is being met and the car is not part of the impression, book Economy. It is the same professional driver, the same flight tracking, the same free waiting allowance and the same fixed-price promise, in a clean current saloon — you are simply not paying for the badge.

The honest test is whether anyone will see the vehicle other than you. Collecting a client, presenting to a board, arriving at a formal event: the class earns its money. Getting yourself from a terminal to a hotel at eleven at night: it does not, and we would rather you spent the difference on something else.

FAQ

Common questions

Will I get the exact model shown?
You will get that class, and the named model is the reference for it — read it as "or similar". A fleet that guaranteed one specific car would have to cancel on you when it went in for a service, which is a worse promise than the one we make.
How many people and how many suitcases fit?
The figures are published on each class card and on the vehicle pages, and they come from the operator’s own fleet record rather than from marketing copy. Read the suitcase figure as full-size checked cases — the carry-on allowance is separate and larger.
Do you have stretch limousines?
No. Executive and flagship saloons, a seven-seat van and a minibus. If you need a stretch limousine we would rather tell you here than take the booking.
Is a limousine more expensive at night or at the weekend?
No. The rate card does not change by hour or by day, and the price you are shown when you book is the price — there is no night tariff, no weekend rate and no surge during trade-fair weeks.

Limousine service: what it costs

Point to point takes two addresses; by the hour takes a pickup and a block of time. The form does both.
