Mercedes S Class
The Mercedes S-Class is the flagship vehicle in the Farnborough Taxi Cabs fleet. It is reserved for principal transport, VIP transfers, private aviation arrivals, and any journey where the quality of the cabin and the standard of the driver presentation are visible to clients, colleagues or family. Fixed price at booking. Named DBS-checked driver. Available 24/7.
When the S-Class Is the Right Choice
The S-Class excels in situations where the vehicle is part of the experience, not just the transport: board-level principal runs between Farnborough, central London and the Thames Valley; arrivals collection at Farnborough Airport (TAG) for private aviation passengers; client hospitality at Royal Ascot, Goodwood, Henley and corporate events; Harley Street appointments and private hospital admissions; investor meetings, BAFTA events, and any occasion where arriving in an S-Class communicates the right standard.
What the S-Class Offers
Maximum cabin space, rear-seat comfort matching the front, a near-silent ride, and a driver in business dress who is briefed on confidentiality, route, and any specific passenger requirements passed through the executive PA or booker. The cabin is quiet by default. The driver speaks when spoken to.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose the S-Class over the E-Class?
Choose the S-Class for principal transport, VIP arrivals and occasions where flagship presence matters. For everyday executive travel the E-Class offers the same standard at a lower fixed price.
Is the S-Class used for private aviation transfers?
Yes. The S-Class is our preferred vehicle for private aviation arrivals and departures at Farnborough Airport (TAG), and for high-profile chauffeur assignments.
How many passengers does the S-Class seat?
The S-Class seats up to three passengers with cabin luggage. Groups travelling with full luggage are better served by the V-Class.
