There’s nothing quite like the feeling of an upcoming holiday or the buzz of stepping off a plane into a brand new city. Whether you’re flying off for a family escape, welcoming guests to the UK or getting ready for a big meeting abroad every great journey begins with a smooth ride to or from the airport. And when it comes to comfort, convenience and a little touch of luxury, there’s once choice that stands above the rest: hiring an MPV with Umbrella Transfers.
Spacious, stylish and incredibly versatile, modern people carriers make perfect vehicles for transforming an ordinary airport transfer into a relaxed part of your travel story. Think soft leather seating, roomy interiors and the kind of experience that feels more like gliding than driving. When your travels involve London airport transfers, you want more than just a ride you want the start of something memorable.
So, let’s take a sneak peek at why an MPV would just be the perfect companion for your next journey to or from the airport.
One of the greatest benefits of opting for an MPV is all that wonderful space. If you’re off to Heathrow with three suite cases, a push chair and a playful toddler or collecting clients at Stansted with cases in hand, there’s absolutely no necessity to pack lightly or struggle for elbow space.
Cars such as the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Volkswagen Multivan, Vauxhall Vivaro and VW Transporter provide an astonishing amount of space without being cumbersome. The V-Class for instance accommodates eight passengers with space to spare, providing a calm, comfortable cabin that makes every trip a pleasure. Meanwhile the VW provides elegant design and flexibility with plenty of legroom, smart storage and sliding doors that make getting in and out easy especially convenient at crowded airport drop offs.
Forget about squishing into cramped cabs or splitting up to multiple cars. With an MPV, everyone and everything fits in and enjoys a peaceful ride from front to back, no matter how long the route is.
Every trip is unique and that’s the nice thing about an MPV car hire it moulds into your moment. You may have to ferry your family, move a wedding party or collect a bunch of colleagues coming in for a conference. Our fleet at Umbrella Transfers is designed to flex with your needs.
Take the VW Transporter as an example it comes with configurable seating arrangements that adjust in seconds. Need more boot space for extra luggage?. Sorted. Want more legroom for a long haul back from Luton? Just slide the seats accordingly. The Mercedes V class adds a touch of class to the experience with captain style chairs, rear climate control and even ambient lighting to help shake off that jet lag or pre-flight tension. No matter if your trip is five minutes or fifty, the ride will always be what you wish it to be.
If you’re on your way to the airport or just landed after a long flight, you don’t want to worry. Our MPV’s are not just incredibly comfortable but also loaded with state of art safety features that ensure each mile is a safe one.
Vehicles such as the Benz v class come with adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and active break technology that all work behind the scenes to keep things steady and secure. Likewise , the VW Multivan hasn’t got far to go, featuring electronic stability control, multiple airbags and a smooth, responsive driving experience that feels reassuring from the moment you set off.
And don’t forget your chauffeur. Umbrella Transfers ensures that you are greeted by a courteous driver who is well versed with airport routes. They’ll monitor your flight, turn up on time, assist with luggage and sweep you off in style, so all you need to do is relax and take the ride.
Big doesn’t have to mean thirsty. In fact our MPVs are designed with efficiency in mind, giving you impressive mileage and a greener footprint, without cutting corners on performance.
The Volkswagen Multivan’s 2.0 TDI engine strikes the perfect balance between power and fuel economy, making it ideal for longer transfers to place like Oxford, Cambridge or even the Cotswolds. The Mercedes V class meanwhile is engineered for smooth, efficient cruising whether you’re heading to Gatwick or zipping through central London after landing at city Airport. It’s good for your wallet, good for environment and even better for those looking to stretch their holiday budget a little further.
There’s something lovely about travelling as a group. Sharing the same car, catching up along the way and starting (or ending) your journey all to gether, it’s the sort of things that turns routine transfers into shared moments.
That’s why an MPV is the go to for group travel. You all arrive at the same time, with no need for coordinating multiple cars or phoning around at the terminal trying to find who’s gone where. With a full complete of seats, USB charging points, rear seat infotainment and Wi-Fi on board, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained too be it children, teens or business partners.
