Luxury Minibus with Chauffeur in Paris

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter  ·  19 to 20 seats

When the whole party has to arrive at the same minute, at the same door, in the same vehicle, and step out genuinely rested: a proper seat for each guest, room for the luggage, and quiet enough to talk or to close one’s eyes.

The category

A group vehicle that does not feel like one

Most minibuses in Paris are built to move numbers: plastic, upright seats, a luggage rack and a chauffeur who is not expecting to be introduced. Ours is a Sprinter fitted out to the standard of the rest of the fleet, with a chauffeur held to the same rules, because a delegation of eighteen deserves the same arrival as a chairman of one.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 19 / 20

Nineteen or twenty upholstered seats depending on the configuration, a central aisle you walk down standing, individual air vents and reading lights, and a luggage hold beneath. It is the vehicle for a congress delegation, a wedding party moving between two addresses, a production crew, or a school of clients being taken from a palace to a dinner.

No car stays in the fleet beyond four years. Every vehicle is replaced on a four-year cycle. A minibus that carries twenty people several times a day wears its interior faster than a saloon, which is exactly why we hold to the same rule for it.
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 must not be split

Three saloons arrive at three different moments, and someone always ends up waiting on a pavement. One minibus arrives once. For a timed arrival at a venue, that is not a detail.

You are organising, not travelling

Event planners, congress organisers and executive assistants book this vehicle most. One booking, one chauffeur, one contact, one invoice, and a schedule that holds.

The day has several stops

Hotel to venue, venue to dinner, dinner to hotel. At your disposal, the minibus and its chauffeur stay with you for the whole evening rather than being ordered again each time.

Consider another vehicle if

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

You are eight or fewer, and you would rather each passenger had a reclining armchair.

Jet Luxury Van (Sprinter, 8 seats)

You are more than twenty, and a single vehicle is still the requirement.

Luxury Mini-coach (Sprinter 28)

You are seven or fewer and the journey stays within the city.

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 passengers arriving from an airport with one case each will not fit in one minibus. This is the most frequent misunderstanding on group transfers, and it is better settled at the quotation stage. Tell us the number of cases when you enquire and we will add a Cargo Van, or a second vehicle, and price it before you commit.

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

12
Large suitcases, hold format

Twelve large suitcases, hold format, in the vehicle’s luggage hold, with every seat occupied. Beyond that, a Cargo Van follows the vehicle.


Coats, handbags and laptop cases travel with you, on the overhead shelf or beside your seat. The vehicle’s luggage hold is loaded and unloaded by your chauffeur.

Indicative rates

Our rates for a Luxury Minibus

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.

Paris ↔ Le BourgetPrivate aviation terminal
from€700
Half day at your disposal4 hours, 20 km included per hour

Full day at your disposal8 hours, 20 km included per hour
from€1,960

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 Minibus take?
The Luxury Minibus, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, carries up to twenty passengers, excluding the chauffeur, depending on the configuration, with twelve large suitcases in the hold. Twenty passengers each with a large case exceeds the hold: in that case a Cargo Van follows the minibus, and we price it with the transfer.
Is it an ordinary minibus?
No, and the difference is the point. The seats are upholstered and have armrests, every seat has its own vent, reading light and charging point, the cabin has Wi-Fi and chilled water, and the chauffeur is the same chauffeur who drives the saloons: suited, briefed on your schedule, and expected to greet your group by name. The vehicle is a Sprinter, but the service is the service of the House.
Can we book it for a whole day or evening?
Yes, and it is the most common arrangement. A vehicle at your disposal is booked for a minimum of four hours, with twenty kilometres included per hour, and the chauffeur remains with you throughout. A full day of eight hours starts at €1,960 inclusive of VAT. For a wedding, a congress or an incentive programme, the vehicle and chauffeur stay assigned to your group for the whole period.
We are a group of thirty. What do you suggest?
Either the Luxury Mini-coach, a Mercedes Sprinter of twenty-eight seats, with a second vehicle for the remaining passengers, or two Luxury Minibuses travelling together. We will put both options in the quotation with their figures so the choice is yours rather than ours.
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. A delayed flight therefore costs you nothing. For a group arriving on several flights, tell us the schedule and we will set the meeting point and the waiting time with you in advance.
Is there a microphone for a guide?
Yes. A public-address microphone at the front carries to the whole cabin, and it is regularly used by a guide, a congress organiser or a tour manager. Say so when you book so the equipment is checked before the vehicle leaves.
Can the minibus travel outside Paris?
Yes, anywhere in France and beyond. Reims and the Champagne houses, the Loire châteaux, Normandy, Deauville, Brussels and the Alpine resorts are regular destinations for groups. Journeys beyond the Paris ring road are charged per kilometre in addition, tolls and parking included, and long journeys may involve a meal or overnight allowance for the chauffeur, both stated in the quotation.
