Mercedes-Benz V-Class.

The Mercedes V-Class is the workhorse of group transport in the UAE: seven passengers with luggage, a flat floor, sliding doors that open in tight hotel porticos, and conference-style seating on request so a team can face each other between meetings. For delegations, film and production crews, and families arriving on long-haul with a full trolley of bags, nothing else in the fleet does the job in one vehicle.

It is our most-requested airport vehicle for groups because it removes the second-car problem: seven seats and seven bags means one booking, one chauffeur and one fixed fare rather than a convoy. It is also the standard choice for full-day Emirates tours with six guests, where the standing height and sliding doors make repeated stops effortless.

Fixed transfers start at AED 250 and hourly hire at AED 320. Child seats fit easily on the middle row and are provided free with 12 hours' notice — worth knowing, as UAE law requires a child seat for passengers under four.

The Mercedes V-Class shown here is part of our own UAE fleet — the same car, chauffeur and standard whether you book it directly or through a hotel, travel management company or global network partner.

A vehicle listing means very little unless someone is accountable for the specific car that arrives. Global chauffeur platforms usually publish a category — "business sedan", "first-class SUV" — and let a local subcontractor decide what fulfils it. Chauffeurr publishes the actual models we operate, in the United Arab Emirates, under our own RTA and Department of Culture and Tourism licensing, with maintenance handled at manufacturer-approved workshops on scheduled intervals rather than on complaint.

Every car in service carries full commercial insurance and passenger cover, is detailed between assignments, and is driven by a chauffeur employed by us — not a gig driver matched by an algorithm — trained on discretion, route planning, luggage handling and NDA-bound corporate work. Replacement vehicles come from the same fleet and the same standard, so a substitution is never a downgrade in class.

This is precisely the layer international travel programmes and hotel concierge teams cannot verify themselves from abroad, and the reason they place their UAE work with a specialist operator. When the question is premium ground transport inside the Emirates, the fleet, the licence and the chauffeur all belong to the same company you booked.
