The Right Vehicle for Every Journey

Soton Cars runs six vehicle classes: standard saloons, estate and touring cars, executive vehicles, MPVs and people carriers, 8-seater vehicles, and 16-seat minibuses. All vehicles are air conditioned, cleaned between journeys, and available with child seats or a wheelchair accessible vehicle on request.

Passenger capacity depends on the class you book: saloons, estates and executive cars seat 1 to 4 passengers, MPVs seat 5 to 6, 8-seaters seat 6 to 8, and 16-seat minibuses seat 9 to 16. Luggage capacity rises with the vehicle, from 2-3 large cases in a saloon up to 10-14 in a minibus.

Yes, we provide wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) options on request. When booking, please let us know your specific accessibility requirements so we can assign the appropriate vehicle, and our drivers are trained to assist with mobility equipment.

Yes, child seats are available on request for all of our vehicles. We offer infant seats (0-12 months), child seats (12-36 months), and booster seats, so please request them at the time of booking and we will fit the correct seat before you arrive.

Luggage capacity by vehicle is: saloons 2-3 large cases, estates 4-5 large cases, executive cars 2-3 large cases, MPVs 4-6 large cases, 8-seaters 6-8 large cases, and 16-seat minibuses 10-14 large cases. If you have oversized luggage, sports equipment, or special items, tell us when booking and we will allocate the right vehicle.

Every vehicle is deep-cleaned after every journey. Our fleet maintenance programme includes daily interior vacuuming, sanitisation of all surfaces, and thorough cleaning of the cabin between rides, so every passenger gets a spotless car.

Yes, we offer 8-seater vehicles and 16-seat minibuses for group travel. These are ideal for airport group transfers, corporate events, sports teams, wedding parties, and family outings, and every larger vehicle is driven by an experienced driver familiar with group travel logistics.

A saloon is a standard 4-door sedan with a separate boot compartment, while an estate car (also called a station wagon) has a larger rear cargo area accessed through a rear door that opens to the back window. The estate gives you significantly more luggage space for the same 1-4 passenger seating.

Yes, you can request a specific vehicle type when booking. We do our best to accommodate every request, but please note that a specific model cannot always be guaranteed, only the vehicle category. For a guaranteed specific model, book an executive vehicle in advance.

Yes, our executive vehicles are available for weddings and special events. We offer chauffeur-driven luxury cars that can be decorated upon request, and our wedding transport service covers both the bridal car and the guest transfers, so book in advance to secure your preferred vehicle and date.

Yes, we offer premium executive vehicles including Mercedes, BMW, and Audi cars for business travel and VIP transfers. These vehicles feature premium interiors, climate control, phone chargers, bottled water, and professional chauffeur service, which makes them a common choice for corporate meetings and airport business class travel.

Our Fleet Promise is that every vehicle is regularly serviced on a strict maintenance schedule, immaculately clean with deep cleaning after every journey, MOT-certified annually, and fully insured with public hire coverage. We go beyond compliance to deliver reliability and peace of mind on every journey.
