MPV Taxi in Southampton
An MPV taxi is the five or six seat people carrier that sits between a saloon and a minivan, and it is the most versatile vehicle in our fleet. Six adults with luggage, or four adults and two child seats, fit comfortably, which makes it the default choice for families and airport runs.

Every mpv booking is priced for the actual pickup, passenger count and luggage, so the specification below is what you should match against your own journey before we quote.
How this differs from our service pages
Where our minibus and group page covers groups, this page covers the single vehicle middle ground: the MPV, its six seats, its real luggage capacity, and why it is often the cheapest way to move five or six people.

|---|---|
| Seats | 5 or 6 passenger seats plus the driver |
| Luggage capacity | 3 large hold cases plus 2 cabin bags, with the rear seats up |

| Child seats | Up to 2 fitted free of charge |
| Entry | Sliding rear doors, useful on a narrow street |
| Air conditioning | Yes, with rear vents |

Common questions about our mpv taxi service in Southampton.
An MPV taxi carries five or six passengers plus the driver depending on the model, so it suits a family of five or six, or four adults and two children. Six adults with large cases is the practical maximum, and anything beyond that needs a minivan.
Usually yes, and it is also simpler because everyone travels together. For five or six people going to the same place, a single MPV is normally cheaper than booking two cars, and it removes the coordination headache that comes with it.
With the rear seats up, three large hold cases plus two cabin bags is realistic. For a cruise with two cases per person in a party of four that is comfortable, and we can fit a boot liner on request to protect the interior.
Yes, up to two child seats can be fitted free of charge, which is the other reason families choose an MPV over a saloon. Tell us the ages of the children when you book so we send the right seat types.
Yes, the rear doors slide rather than swing, which makes a big difference on a narrow Southampton street or in a busy car park. It also means the driver is not blocking a pavement while passengers and bags get out.
No, an MPV cannot take a wheelchair. If you need accessible transport, book our wheelchair accessible taxi instead, which has the ramp or hoist fitted and is designed around the chair rather than around luggage space.
