Luxury Mini-coach with Chauffeur in Paris

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter  ·  28 seats

The largest vehicle of the House. Twenty-eight seats, one chauffeur, one arrival, and a standard of service that does not thin out because the group grew.

The category

Twenty-eight seats, still a House vehicle

Above twenty passengers, Paris usually offers you a coach company. The service changes, the vehicle changes, and so does the person who meets your group. The Luxury Mini-coach exists so that it does not have to: the same chauffeurs, the same preparation, the same punctuality figure, up to twenty-eight people.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 28

The longest Sprinter conversion we operate, with twenty-eight upholstered seats, a central aisle, a luggage hold beneath the cabin and a public-address system. It is the vehicle for a congress group, an incentive programme, a full wedding party, or a production moving between locations with its crew.

No car stays in the fleet beyond four years. Every vehicle is replaced on a four-year cycle, conversion and upholstery included. The largest vehicle of the fleet is also the one where wear shows fastest, and it is held to the same rule as the saloons.
Choosing well

Is this the right vehicle for you?

Choosing a vehicle is rarely a question of the badge on the bonnet. It is a question of who travels, what they carry, and what the day asks of them. Here is who this one is for.

The group is between twenty and twenty-eight

At that size, this is the only vehicle of the House that takes the whole party at once. Below twenty, the Luxury Minibus moves through the city more easily and reaches addresses this one cannot.

The programme runs over several days

Congresses, incentives and tours book the vehicle and the chauffeur for the whole programme. The same chauffeur learns the group, the schedule and the addresses, which is what makes day three run better than day one.

A guide travels with you

The public-address system carries to the whole cabin. Tour managers and congress organisers use it constantly, and it is one of the reasons this vehicle is booked rather than a standard coach.

Consider another vehicle if

We would rather tell you now than on the morning itself.

You are twenty or fewer, and the vehicle has to move easily through central Paris.

You are eight or fewer and each passenger should have a reclining armchair.

Jet Luxury Van (Sprinter, 8 seats)

Your group carries more luggage than any single vehicle will hold.

Luggage

What actually fits in the hold

Luggage is the single most common surprise on the day of travel. Numbers on a website are easy to write and hard to live with, so here is what this vehicle carries, stated plainly. The figure below counts large suitcases, hold format. Small cabin-format cases travel in addition, in a number that depends on the load, and they are confirmed in your quotation.

Twenty-eight passengers with one large case each does not fit in one vehicle, and nobody’s vehicle of this size does it. On an airport transfer for a full group, the correct answer is a Cargo Van following the mini-coach. We will put it in the quotation rather than let the question arise on the forecourt at Charles de Gaulle.

Trade-show material, instruments, production equipment or sports kit? A Cargo Van can follow your vehicle and carry the overflow. See the Cargo Van.

15
Large suitcases, hold format

Fifteen large suitcases, hold format, in the vehicle’s luggage hold, with every seat occupied. A group arriving from an airport will normally need a Cargo Van in addition.


Coats, handbags and laptop cases travel with you, beside your seat. The vehicle’s luggage hold is loaded and unloaded by your chauffeur, not by your guests.

Our rates for a Luxury Mini-coach

Every figure is inclusive of VAT and covers one vehicle with its chauffeur. The amount agreed in writing before your journey is the amount invoiced.

Full day at your disposal8 hours, 20 km included per hour
from€2,360

Every rate includes your chauffeur for the whole of the service, fuel, tolls and parking, onboard Wi-Fi and still water, full insurance and a licensed vehicle. At the airports, sixty minutes of waiting are included, counted from the moment the aircraft lands rather than from the scheduled arrival time, which is what matters when a flight is late. At every other pickup, fifteen minutes are included.

Rates are in euros. They are a point of departure, not a quotation: the final figure depends on the date, the hour, the exact addresses and the duration of the service. Journeys beyond the Paris ring road are charged per kilometre in addition. A written quotation is always issued, and agreed, before a booking is confirmed.

We do not offer discounts. Our rates are the same for everyone on the same service.

Questions

Before you book

How many passengers and suitcases does the Luxury Mini-coach take?
The Luxury Mini-coach, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter of twenty-eight seats, carries up to twenty-eight passengers, excluding the chauffeur, with fifteen large suitcases in the hold. A full group arriving from an airport with one case each will need a Cargo Van in addition, and we price it with the transfer rather than raise it on the day.
How does it differ from the Luxury Minibus?
Size, and only size. Both are Mercedes Sprinters, both carry upholstered seats, Wi-Fi, chilled water and a public-address system, and both are driven by the chauffeurs of the House. The Minibus seats nineteen or twenty and moves more easily through central Paris. The Mini-coach seats twenty-eight and is the right answer above twenty passengers.
Can we book it for a multi-day programme?
Yes, and it is the usual arrangement for congresses and incentives. The vehicle and the chauffeur are assigned to your group for the whole programme, which means the same person learns your schedule, your addresses and your people. A full day of eight hours starts at €2,360 inclusive of VAT, and a multi-day programme is quoted as a whole.
Can the vehicle reach every address in central Paris?
Almost every one, but not all. A twenty-eight-seat vehicle cannot enter certain courtyards, narrow streets in the older arrondissements or some hotel forecourts, and a few museums and venues impose their own coach access points. Give us the exact addresses when you enquire and we will tell you where the vehicle will stop, before the day rather than on it.
How long will the chauffeur wait for us at the airport?
Sixty minutes of waiting are included at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget, and they run from the moment the aircraft touches down, not from the arrival time printed on the ticket. For a group arriving on several flights, tell us the schedule and we will agree the meeting point and the waiting arrangement with you in advance.
Is there a guide microphone?
Yes. The public-address system carries to the whole cabin and is regularly used by guides, tour managers and congress organisers. Say so when you book so the equipment is checked before the vehicle leaves.
Can the Mini-coach travel outside Paris?
Yes, anywhere in France and beyond. Reims and the Champagne houses, the Loire châteaux, Normandy, Deauville and Brussels are regular destinations for groups. Journeys beyond the Paris ring road are charged per kilometre in addition, tolls and parking included. Driving-time regulations apply to a vehicle of this size on long days, and we will tell you plainly if a programme requires a second chauffeur.
