Passenger count is only the first number

A transport planner also needs suitcase counts, bulky equipment, children, mobility requirements, pickup points and the desired arrival time. The same number of people can require very different vehicle arrangements.

Create practical passenger groups

Group passengers by shared flight, hotel or schedule. If half the team has an early appointment and the rest arrives later, one large vehicle may create more waiting rather than less.

  • Families and companions travelling together
  • Colleagues sharing the same hotel and programme
  • Speakers or executives with separate timings
  • Equipment handlers or production staff
  • Passengers with accessible-travel requirements

Choose pickup points carefully

Several door-to-door pickups can lengthen a group movement. An agreed central pickup may simplify coordination, but only if every passenger can reach it comfortably and safely. Share the proposed addresses and let the final offer explain the plan.

Do not assume published capacities

Vehicle seating and luggage capacity depend on the specific vehicle and configuration. This website intentionally avoids unconfirmed figures. Ask for the actual capacity and luggage plan in the offer.

Keep the return journey visible

Groups often focus on arrival and leave departure until later. Include venue-to-hotel, dinner, airport and split-return movements at the start so availability and coordination can be assessed together.
