Hosting a conference at RAI Amsterdam, organising a team off-site, or moving 40 executives from Schiphol to a Hilton breakfast meeting? Corporate transport needs are different from tourist transfers — punctuality, presentation, and reliability matter more than price. This 2026 guide covers everything procurement teams and EAs need: vehicle classes, real prices, what to expect on event day, and the 6 questions every corporate client should ask before booking.
Corporate vehicle classes — what to choose
Business clients usually need one of three vehicle tiers: executive sedan for VIPs (1-3 pax), luxury minibus for board meetings (8-19 pax), or full coach for conference shuttles (29-58 pax). The right choice depends on rank, group size, and image.
- 🚗 Mercedes V-Class (1-7 VIPs) — executive level, leather, privacy glass
- 🚐 Mercedes Sprinter (8-19 pax) — board meetings, small departments
- 🚌 MAN Lion's Coach (49 pax) — conference shuttles, road shows
- 🚌 Setra TopClass (58 pax) — full-day corporate retreats
- 🚌 Dobbeldekker (80 pax) — gala events, large team trips
💼 For C-suite clients, always go one tier up. A €50 saving on vehicle class is not worth the wrong impression.
