Mercedes VLE chauffeur hire for families and groups

When a saloon is too small, the VLE is the answer. Instead of booking two cars and hoping they arrive together, everyone travels in one vehicle with one chauffeur. Electric sliding doors make getting in easy, even on a narrow London street, and the tall cabin means nobody has to fold themselves into a seat. It is the car we recommend most for families flying out of Heathrow or Gatwick.

It is fully electric, so the ride is quiet and smooth, with no engine noise in the cabin. Mercedes designed it to feel like a luxury car rather than a van, and it shows: a calm, airy cabin and a ride closer to a saloon than to the old V-Class.

Here is the luggage reality. With seven passengers, the VLE takes six large suitcases and seven cabin bags. With fewer people on board there is room for more: golf bags, skis, pushchairs or sample cases for a trade show. Tell us what you are bringing when you book and we will make sure it fits. Child seats are free; just tell us each child's age.

Every booking includes meet and greet with a name board at airports, flight tracking by us and free waiting time. Your chauffeur loads the luggage, so you can concentrate on the children or the team.
