When there are more than a couple of you, or plenty of luggage, the Mercedes V-Class is the vehicle of choice. It is the spacious, comfortable van behind most group and family transfers on the coast. Here is the V-Class explained.

Space for groups and luggage

The V-Class seats up to seven or eight passengers in comfort, with generous room for suitcases, buggies, golf clubs or ski gear — the loads that fill an ordinary car. It is why families, groups and yacht guests with provisions rely on it for airport transfers.

Everyone and everything travels together, in one comfortable vehicle.

  • Seats up to seven or eight
  • Room for cases, buggies and gear
  • Ideal for families and groups
  • Everyone and everything together

Comfort, not just capacity

The V-Class is a luxury van, not a minibus — leather seats, climate control, space to stretch out and a quiet cabin. Passengers face each other in comfort, making it as pleasant for a long transfer to Saint-Tropez as a short hop from the airport.

It combines the room of a van with the comfort of a limousine.

  • Leather seats and climate control
  • A quiet, spacious cabin
  • Comfortable for long transfers
  • Van space, limousine comfort

When to choose it

Choose the V-Class for families, groups of three to eight, anyone with heavy luggage, and yacht or ski arrivals with gear. For a couple travelling light, an E-Class or S-Class is enough; when numbers or bags grow, the V-Class is the answer.

It is the natural pick whenever a standard car would be a squeeze.
