A 6 seater taxi in Swiss Cottage is the easy answer when a normal car is too small but a minibus is too big. We arrange 6 seater MPVs for families, friends and colleagues who want to travel together, with room for luggage and a fixed fare agreed when you book.
Splitting a group across two saloon cars means two bookings, two drivers and the risk of one car arriving long before the other. With one larger vehicle, everyone leaves together and arrives together.
When a 6 seater minicab makes sense
A 6 seater minicab suits many everyday situations in and around NW3:
- A family of five or six heading off on holiday with suitcases.
- Grandparents visiting, with the whole family going out for a meal.
- Friends travelling to a wedding, party or sports event.
- Colleagues going to a meeting or a station together.
- Parents sharing a school run taxi for several children.
If there are five passengers with a lot of luggage, a 6 seater is often a better choice than a saloon or estate, because the extra space can be used for bags.
MPV taxi in NW3 for airport transfers
The most popular use for an MPV taxi in NW3 is the airport run. Families flying from Heathrow or Gatwick usually have several large suitcases, a buggy and hand luggage. Fitting all of that into one car, with everyone seated comfortably, is what an MPV is for.
We also arrange 6 seaters to Stansted, Luton and London City Airport. For pick-ups, give us your flight number. Flights are tracked, so the collection time is adjusted if your flight is early or late, and meet and greet can be arranged in arrivals.
Family taxi to the airport: luggage and seats
The amount of luggage a 6 seater can carry depends on the vehicle and on how many seats are in use. When every seat is taken, boot space is smaller. As a guide, tell us:
- How many adults and children are travelling.
- How many large suitcases and how many cabin bags you have.
- Any bulky items, such as a pushchair, golf clubs or a car seat.
With this information, we can confirm that a 6 seater is the right choice, or suggest a 7 seater taxi if you need more room. Child seats are available on request. Please give each child's age so the correct seat is provided.
Station runs and days out
A 6 seater is also handy for trips to London's main line stations. Families catching a train to the north often travel to Euston or King's Cross, while Paddington serves the west of England and Wales. If your group is staying in a hotel, our hotel transfer taxi page explains how we handle hotel pick-ups and drop-offs.

6 Seater Taxi: frequently asked questions
How many passengers can a 6 seater taxi carry?
Up to six passengers. If all six seats are used, the space for luggage is smaller, so please tell us how many bags you have.
Is a 6 seater taxi more expensive than a saloon?
Larger vehicles usually cost more than a saloon, but one 6 seater is often cheaper than booking two separate cars. You will see the fixed fare before you confirm.
Can I get child seats in a 6 seater taxi?
Yes, child seats are available on request. Please give the age of each child when you book.
Should I choose a 6 seater or a 7 seater?
A 6 seater suits up to six people with moderate luggage. For seven or eight passengers, or six people with a lot of luggage, choose a 7 seater.
Can I book a 6 seater taxi for an early flight?
Yes. Bookings are taken 24 hours a day. We recommend booking well ahead for early morning airport runs.
