Northline Black Car
Five vehicle classes: business sedans, luxury sedans, business SUVs, luxury SUVs and Sprinter vans. Count your large cases first, then your passengers; on airport trips luggage space is more often the limit than seats, and a booking asks for both numbers separately.
Capacity is set by size, price by tier. A luxury vehicle carries the same passengers and luggage as the business vehicle of the same size.

The Five Classes
BMW 5 Series, or a Cadillac XT5 or XT6 crossover, booked as one class. Seats up to 3 with 2 large cases or 3 bags. The standard booking for one or two travelers with ordinary luggage. Flat rates are quoted by class, and business sedan is the lowest.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW 7 Series. Seats up to 3 with 2 large cases or 3 bags, the same as the business sedan. The premium is for rear legroom, cabin quiet and the vehicle itself.
Chevrolet Suburban. Seats up to 6: one in front, two in second-row captain’s chairs and three on the third-row bench, with 4 large cases behind. With the third row folded, it seats up to 3 and takes up to 7 large cases. Some vehicles seat 7 with a second-row bench; ask for it in your booking instructions.
Cadillac Escalade, with a Lincoln Navigator on some dates. The same quoted passenger and luggage allowance as the business SUV. The premium is for the vehicle and its interior. Some vehicles seat 7 with a second-row bench; ask for it in your booking instructions.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Seats 11 to 14 passengers and takes 6 to 10 large cases, depending on the configuration; dispatch confirms both together when you book. The luggage area sits behind the last row of seats. Sprinter bookings need up to three hours’ notice, and their cancellation terms differ from sedan and SUV bookings.
Tell us your passenger count, luggage and any child-seat needs, and dispatch confirms the right class for your trip.
In Every Class
Bottled water and phone charging in every vehicle.
A regular child seat is $30 and a booster is $10 a seat. Child seats fit any class; request one at the time of booking, as not every car carries seats.
Welcome when declared at booking, in a secure carrier or on the floor with suitable protection. Pets over 25 pounds travel in an SUV or Sprinter van, no more than two animals per reservation, and a cleaning fee may apply.
Service animals travel in every class without notice or charge. A folding manual wheelchair travels in any class at no charge, and the chauffeur stows it.
Not permitted in the vehicle.
A booking asks for the number of passengers and the number of large cases separately. Those two numbers set the vehicle size. Business or luxury is a separate choice and does not change capacity.
Ride quality, interior specification and the vehicle itself. Passenger and luggage capacity is the same as the business vehicle of the same size.
If the business sedan you booked is unavailable and a luxury sedan is available, we provide the luxury sedan at the business sedan price. The same applies to the two SUV classes. If we provide a luxury vehicle because your booked business class is unavailable, there is no additional charge for the upgrade.
Each class lists the makes and models used in it, and your vehicle will be one of those listed. We do not guarantee a specific make or model; availability decides that. If a particular vehicle matters for your trip, tell us when you book and we will confirm what is assigned.
The Cadillac XT5 and XT6 are booked in our business sedan class, with the same quoted passenger and luggage allowance as the BMW 5 Series. For a larger group or more luggage, request an SUV or Sprinter van.
An SUV is quoted for up to 6 passengers and 4 large cases with the third row in use. If each passenger has a large suitcase, or you have additional or oversized luggage, tell dispatch the full luggage count so the right vehicle can be confirmed.
Yes, in some SUVs, with a second-row bench in place of the two captain’s chairs. Ask for it in your booking instructions. It leaves less room for luggage and must be arranged in advance.
No. We do not operate stretch limousines, party buses or motor coaches. For groups too large for one Sprinter van, we provide multiple vehicles. If a motor coach is the better fit, we will recommend a specialist operator.
