Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring golf clubs in a sedan?
Standard sedans usually cannot fit golf clubs with passengers and regular luggage. Book an estate car or minivan to be safe.
What if I have more luggage than expected?
Contact your driver or the service immediately. They may be able to arrange a larger vehicle, though additional charges may apply.
