Mercedes Vito 8 Seater

The Mercedes Vito 8-seater is built for larger groups who need to travel together with generous luggage space. It seats up to 8 passengers and handles the luggage volumes that a V-Class cannot — particularly for cruise embarkations, extended family airport transfers, and team transport where everyone travels in the same vehicle. Fixed price at booking. Named DBS-checked driver. Available 24/7.

When the Vito Is the Right Vehicle

Choose the Vito when your group is 6–8 passengers, your luggage is substantial, or both. It is the preferred vehicle for: cruise port transfers to Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover where full suitcases, cabin bags and mobility aids are all in play; extended family groups travelling to Heathrow or Gatwick for long-haul holidays; small teams and delegation transfers within the GU corridor or onward to London and beyond; and any transfer where fitting everyone in a single vehicle is non-negotiable.
