When there are seven or eight of you, a 7 seater taxi in Swiss Cottage keeps the whole group in one vehicle. We arrange 7 and 8 seater people carriers for groups heading to airports, stations, events and celebrations, with a fixed fare confirmed when you book.
Larger groups are where pre-booking really pays off. Finding two or three cabs on the street at the same time is difficult, and splitting up means people arrive at different times. One larger vehicle solves that.
8 seater minicab in London for bigger groups
An 8 seater minicab in London is the largest vehicle we arrange, and it is ideal for groups who want to stay together. Typical bookings include:
- Extended families flying out together for a holiday or a wedding abroad.
- Groups of friends heading to a concert, a match or a night out.
- Work teams travelling to a client meeting, conference or away day.
- Guests being moved between a hotel and a party venue.
If you are not sure whether you need seven seats or eight, tell us the number of passengers and how much luggage you have, and we will advise.
Large group taxi in NW3 for the airport
A large group taxi in NW3 is often the most practical way to reach the airport. One vehicle means one pick-up time and one fare. We arrange 7 and 8 seaters to all the main London airports:
- Heathrow Airport, the most popular choice from north-west London.
- Gatwick Airport for many holiday flights.
- Stansted Airport and Luton Airport for budget airlines.
- London City Airport for short business trips.
For arrivals, we track the flight and can arrange meet and greet, so the driver is waiting inside the terminal.
Luggage space with a full vehicle
With every seat in use, a 7 or 8 seater has less boot space than you might expect. A group of eight with a large suitcase each may not fit in one vehicle. Please give us an honest count of large cases, cabin bags and bulky items when you book. If the luggage will not fit, we may suggest a 7 seater plus a saloon, or a 6 seater taxi with fewer passengers.
People carrier hire with a driver
Some customers search for people carrier hire with a driver when they need a large vehicle for a few hours, such as for a family event. Tell us your plans and timings when you call, and we will explain what can be arranged. For pick-ups from hotels in central London, see our hotel transfer taxi page. For station runs, we often take groups to Victoria, Waterloo and London Bridge.
Where we pick up
We arrange 7 seater taxis across Swiss Cottage and nearby areas, including South Hampstead, Kilburn, Maida Vale, Primrose Hill and Chalk Farm. See all locations on our areas we cover page.
Booking a 7 seater
You can book using the form on this page or by calling 020 3740 2162. Choose the 7/8 seater option, enter your journey, and you will see the fixed fare before you confirm. Child seats are available on request, and you can pay by card or cash. Because there are fewer large vehicles than saloons, please book as early as you can, especially for weekends and holidays.
7 Seater Taxi: frequently asked questions
How many people fit in a 7 seater taxi?
Up to seven passengers. If you have eight people, ask for an 8 seater when you book.
Will all our luggage fit in a 7 seater?
It depends on how many seats are used. With a full vehicle, boot space is limited. Tell us how many large and small bags you have so we can check.
Is a 7 seater taxi cheaper than two cars?
Often, yes. The fare depends on the journey, but one larger vehicle is usually better value than two separate bookings. You will see the fixed fare before you confirm.
Can I book a 7 seater for a group from a hotel?
Yes. Give us the hotel name and address and the number of guests.
How far ahead should I book a 7 or 8 seater?
As early as possible. Larger vehicles are limited, and demand is high at weekends and during school holidays.
