Dover Pick-Up, York Detour, Bridlington by Tea-Time: Will the Luggage Fit? (Spoiler: Yes)
Sunshine on the tarmac at Dover; three of our four passengers already gathered with an impressive line-up of suitcases; a message from the fourth: “Two more large cases and a holdall incoming.” The question everyone asks at that exact moment: will it fit? In a word — yes. Our Mercedes V-Class is built for real-world travel: sliding doors for easy boarding, a wide flat boot, flexible seating and a calm, quiet cabin once you’re settled.
With everyone aboard we pointed the nose north: Dover → York → Bridlington. The rhythm was relaxed and purposeful — two short comfort breaks and a 40-minute lunch — so conversation flowed, shoulders dropped and the miles rolled by. If you’re weighing up trains, platforms and multiple taxis against one dependable, door-to-door vehicle, this is where a professional chauffeur service really earns its keep.
“Will it fit?” — The luggage question answered
Between four travellers, we counted big cases, cabin rollers and those mysterious “just-in-case” bags that appear at the last minute. Thanks to the V-Class’s configurable seating and generous boot, everything slotted in neatly — no knees under bags, no suitcase Tetris. Our chauffeurs are dab hands at “bag choreography”: a measured lift here, a quarter turn there, and the tailgate closes with that very satisfying click.
