When it is not worth it
One or two people, a single city, a flexible schedule and you are comfortable driving on the left — renting or joining a group tour is considerably better value. In those cases we will tell you not to book us.
When it is worth it
Four or more sharing the cost; travelling with elderly parents or young children; a schedule that has to fit meetings or flights; waiting for the light to photograph; or simply not wanting to learn single-track left-hand driving on your holiday.
Time is a cost too
The person driving sees the least, because they are watching the road. In the Highlands the scenery is beside the road, not ahead of it. Over a ten-day trip, whoever drives spends thirty to forty hours looking at tarmac.
Parking and fines
UK city-centre parking is expensive and complicated: zones, time limits, permit-only streets. The commonest visitor mistake is parking wrongly or forgetting to pay. London adds the congestion charge and ULEZ. With a chauffeur none of this is your problem.
What we will not claim
We will not claim that a chauffeur is cheaper than self-drive — usually it is not. Nor will we say group tours are bad; many are run well. We set out what each costs you and let you decide.
车辆实际载得多少
Toyota Alphard 和 Vellfire 是七座,但七个座位和七件行李是两回事。第三排立起那阵,尾箱大约放到四件 26 吋行李箱。所以我们说「最多四位客人连全套行李」——五位或以上有托运行李,我们会安排第二架车,不会勉强塞。
为什么选 MPV 不选房车
Alphard 的后座脚位比多数行政房车更阔,而且底盘便宜,你是「行入去」而不是「坐落去」。对六十岁以上、著正装、或者带住小朋友的客人,这个差别好实在。他不是 Mercedes S-Class,我们不会扮是——如果你需要车头个标志做门面,我们不是适合的供应商。
我们不会做的嘢
我们不会迫你入有佣金的商店或者餐厅。不会在你未问之前加项目再收钱。不会话一间我们没有住过的酒店好。如果你的计划日数不够、或者自驾对你来说其实更抵、又或者小团游更适合你,我们会直接说——就算这样会少做一单。
