This service is ideal for handling all business occasions, including transportation for important guests, entertainment, inspections, company tours, and executive dinners. The service is also frequently used for large-scale events like international conferences and exhibitions.

What vehicles are best suited for a large family traveling with a lot of luggage?

The Jumbo vehicles (Hiace or Caravan) are the best choice. They can comfortably seat up to 9 people and are uniquely capable of carrying up to 9 large suitcases, making them perfect for big groups or extensive shopping trips.

Are there drivers available who can speak foreign languages?

Yes. We employ foreign language-speaking drivers who have undergone a rigorous internal screening process. Please specify this requirement when making your reservation to ensure we assign the appropriate professional to your trip.

How does the minivan class handle luggage for different group sizes?

A Minivan (Voxy or Serena) can carry up to 6 people but only 2 suitcases when fully seated. If you fold down the rearmost seats, the vehicle capacity reduces to 3 passengers, but you gain significant luggage space, accommodating up to 6 suitcases.

How do I book a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, and are there any limitations?

You must reserve the wheelchair-accessible vehicles (Sienta or Serena) by the day before your intended use due to their limited number. Please be aware that the ceiling height is not high, and specific wheelchair types may experience headroom restrictions.
