Mercedes E Class
The Mercedes E-Class is the executive saloon at the heart of the Farnborough Taxi Cabs fleet. It is the default vehicle for solo and paired journeys — airport transfers to Heathrow and Gatwick, business travel to central London, local GU14 runs, and long-distance city work. Quiet, spacious, and driven by a named DBS-checked driver. Fixed price confirmed at booking.
When to Choose the E-Class
The E-Class is the right choice when you are travelling alone or with one companion, with standard carry-on or cabin luggage, and the journey calls for executive comfort without the formality of the S-Class. It is particularly well-suited to: Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Stansted and Luton airport transfers; business journeys into central London or the Thames Valley; long-distance city runs to Birmingham, Manchester or Bristol; and local GU14 station and hospital runs.
