Quick answer

What to send Montrose

Choose a luxury Sprinter minibus for a private group of up to 15 passengers and an executive mini coach for a group of up to 30. The practical choice also depends on luggage, access, seating layout and requested facilities.

What is the difference between a luxury minibus and a mini coach?

Montrose lists the Mercedes Sprinter VIP category for up to 15 passengers and the executive mini coach category for up to 30. A Sprinter is more compact; a mini coach provides more seats and may offer different luggage storage and onboard facilities. The exact vehicle is confirmed in the quotation.

Which vehicle should a group of 8 to 15 passengers choose?

A luxury minibus is usually the first option for 8 to 15 passengers travelling on one itinerary. If every seat is occupied, the group has many large cases or requires a more spacious VIP layout, a mini coach may be the more practical proposal.

When is an executive mini coach the better option?

Choose a mini coach for 16 to 30 passengers, or for a smaller group that needs additional cabin or luggage capacity. It can suit conferences, wedding guests, production teams, airport groups and event shuttles.

How does luggage affect capacity?

Maximum passenger figures do not guarantee space for every suitcase. Send the number of cabin bags, large cases, pushchairs, mobility equipment and production items. Montrose checks passengers and luggage together before confirming the vehicle.

What facilities can be requested?

Ask for tables, power, refreshments, a particular seating layout or other facilities in the initial request. Photographs show example configurations; equipment varies and is only included when confirmed in writing.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide exact pickup and destination addresses with postcodes, date, local time, passenger count, luggage, all stops, return timing and venue access notes. Airport movements should also include flights and terminals.
