The Standard saloon is the default vehicle category — Toyota Avensis, Skoda Superb, Hyundai i40 class. Well-maintained recent-model cars.
What it carries
- 1-4 passengers
- 2 large + 1 medium case (boot space is the constraint)
- Per-mile rate £1.67/mi; hourly rate £45/hr
When Standard saloon is right
- 1-2 passengers, airport luggage. Clear win.
- Local journeys under 30 miles. No reason to upsize for short trips.
- Cost-conscious bookings. Lowest per-mile rate.
When to size up
- 3+ passengers + luggage. Boot space becomes tight. Standard estate or MPV.
- Long-distance with sleeping passengers. Executive saloon's quieter cabin matters.
- Weddings. Executive saloon photographs better.
