A flexible, great-value 6-seater for families and small groups. Up to 6 passengers, fixed prices and a licensed, DBS-checked driver, 24 hours a day.
The SEAT Alhambra is a full-size 7-seat MPV that carries up to 6 passengers plus the driver across three rows, with large sliding rear doors and a boot that flexes from a few cabin bags to van-like load space. It is the vehicle we reach for when a family or small group needs more seats than a saloon and room for the luggage to match, without stepping up to a full minibus. We run it for family airport transfers, small-group journeys and luggage-heavy jobs, always at a fixed, agreed price with a licensed, DBS-checked local driver.
Three individual middle-row seats slide, recline and fold on their own, each with an ISOFIX child-seat mount, and the wide sliding doors make climbing in and out easy even in a tight space. Fold the rear rows and the same car turns into a proper load-hauler, which is why it suits jobs that mix passengers with bulky cases.
The Alhambra seats 7 in total, up to 6 passengers plus the driver, laid out over three rows. The middle row is the clever part: three individual chairs that slide fore and aft, recline and fold independently, so you can set the cabin up for legroom, luggage or child seats as the job demands. Behind them sit two third-row seats, best suited to children or shorter adult journeys. Because each middle seat carries its own ISOFIX mount, the Alhambra works as a genuine family taxi rather than a squeeze, a full family plus a grandparent, or a small group of six, all travel with a proper seat each. If you need more room again, the seven-seat Mercedes-Benz V-Class and the eight-seat Ford Tourneo step things up.
Luggage flexes with the seating, which is what makes this car so useful on airport runs. With all seven seats in use the boot holds about 267 litres, realistically a few soft or cabin-sized bags when the car is full of people. Drop the two rearmost seats and it opens to roughly 809 litres; run it as a five-seater and you get around 658 litres, enough for several large suitcases. Fold the rear and middle rows away entirely and the Alhambra swallows a van-like 2,297 litres, with loads up to about 2.95 metres long. The honest rule of thumb: book it as a 5-seater when you are carrying multiple large cases, or use all six or seven seats with hand and soft luggage. For a family airport transfer that mix of people and bags is exactly what it is built for.
The Alhambra is at its best on family and small-group work where space matters more than badge. The obvious one is the family airport transfer, a full family with pushchairs and cases heading to Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton or Stansted in a single vehicle rather than two cars. It is equally handy for group transfers of up to six, days out, and multi-generation or wedding-party trips, where the wide sliding rear doors make getting in and out effortless in a tight kerbside spot. Anytime a job mixes passengers with bulky luggage, a house move of hand baggage, sports kit, a big food shop, the flexible seat-and-boot arrangement earns its keep. It slots neatly into GX Executive's fixed-price airport runs from Gerrards Cross and the SL9 area.
Because it delivers seven seats and van-like flexibility at sensible, fixed-price value. The cabin is comfortable and easy to live with: a large glazed area for good visibility, three-zone climate control, cruise control, parking sensors and touchscreen infotainment with sat-nav and Bluetooth, plus aircraft-style fold-down tables on the seatbacks and a 230-volt socket on SE trim. Higher trims such as SE Lux and Xcellence add leather upholstery, heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, reversing camera, keyless entry and electrically powered sliding rear doors with a power tailgate, the more comfort-led, executive-friendly specification. Under the bonnet the typical UK fleet car runs a 2.0 TDI diesel of around 150 bhp with a manual or DSG automatic gearbox, so it is refined and relaxed on a motorway run to the airport. If your party is smaller and travelling light and you want a step up to executive travel, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class covers up to four in that style; when you need the seats and the boot together, the Alhambra is the value call.
