How many suitcases fit in a standard taxi?

A standard saloon transfer seats up to 3 passengers and carries roughly 3 large suitcases. Add a fourth passenger or bulky gear and you need a minivan.

Do skis and snowboards fit in an airport transfer?

Ski and snowboard bags do not fit in saloon cars. You need a minivan or larger vehicle, which is why ski transfers are usually quoted as minivans.

Premium minivan — up to 7 passengers, around 7 large cases, ski-friendly. Upgraded minivan such as a Mercedes V-Class.
Standard XL minivan — up to 8 passengers, around 10 large cases, ski-friendly. Extra-long minivan with a bigger boot, e.g. Mercedes Sprinter (8 seats).
VIP minivan — up to 7 passengers, around 7 large cases, ski-friendly. Top-spec chauffeured van with premium interior.
Minibus — up to 16 passengers, around 16 large cases, ski-friendly. 16-seat minibus for large groups, with a dedicated luggage area.

A rough rule of thumb: one large suitcase per seat in a saloon, and two small bags count as one large case. Ski and snowboard bags always need a minivan or bigger.
