A New Seven-Seat VIP Mercedes Sprinter for UK Tours, Airport Transfers and Golf Travel

At White Glove Chauffeur Service, we do not simply purchase vehicles and place them into service. We consider how our clients travel, what they bring with them and what would make every journey more comfortable.

That philosophy has shaped some of Britain’s most distinctive chauffeur-driven vehicles—and it is now inspiring our next creation.

The Araror Club will be a bespoke seven-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter designed around one particularly important requirement: delivering an exceptional private-jet-style passenger experience while retaining genuinely generous luggage capacity.

It will be created for luxury airport transfers, private UK tours, golf travel, corporate hospitality and longer chauffeur-driven journeys throughout Britain.

This is not intended to be the largest vehicle in our fleet. It is being designed to be one of the most versatile.

Why Are We Creating the Araror Club?

Luxury group travel frequently presents a challenge. A vehicle may provide beautiful seating for seven or eight passengers, but once everyone arrives with large suitcases, hand luggage, golf bags or additional equipment, the available luggage space can quickly become restrictive.

This is particularly relevant for international visitors taking an extended private tour of Britain. American guests travelling for seven days or longer will understandably bring more than a small overnight case. Golf parties may arrive with a combination of suitcases, golf bags and cabin luggage. Families and corporate groups can have similarly substantial requirements.

Our existing eight-seat Araror Mercedes Sprinter is exceptionally capable and will remain one of the flagship vehicles within our fleet. The Araror Club is not replacing its role or suggesting that the original Araror is unsuitable for UK tours. Instead, the new vehicle will offer another carefully considered option for groups that require fewer passenger seats and significantly greater luggage capacity.

The concept is simple: seven luxurious passenger seats, a spacious private rear cabin and a separate luggage compartment designed around the way our clients actually travel.

Why the Name Araror Club?

The original Araror has become one of the most recognisable and successful vehicles in the White Glove fleet. It has carried clients to sporting events, corporate engagements, airports, celebrations and destinations throughout the United Kingdom.

The name therefore deserves to grow into a distinct family of bespoke White Glove vehicles.

“Club” captures the character we want this new Mercedes Sprinter to possess. It suggests the atmosphere of a private members’ club, an executive business lounge and the elevated experience associated with Club World travel.

It also carries a subtle reference to one of the vehicle’s specialist roles: transporting golfers and their clubs in genuine comfort.

Most importantly, the Araror Club will carry considerably more than golf clubs. Its adaptable design will make it equally suitable for private tours, international airport arrivals, corporate hospitality and luxury group travel across Britain.

A Private Seven-Seat Passenger Cabin

The Araror Club will feature seven individual passenger seats within a beautifully appointed private rear cabin.

The proposed interior will include:

Seven individual Nappa leather passenger seats
Heating and massage functions
Generous reclining comfort
Three tables for drinks, dining or working
Wireless charging facilities
Two televisions
A starlight-style illuminated roof
Electric privacy blinds
Dedicated rear climate control
Heated and chilled cup holders
Champagne and bottle holders
A refrigerator within the passenger cabin
A second refrigerator within the luggage area

The combination of individual seating, climate control, entertainment and carefully placed tables will create an environment suitable for relaxing, socialising or working while travelling.

Its high-roof Mercedes Sprinter body will also provide the feeling of openness expected from a premium group vehicle. Passengers will be able to enter and leave the cabin far more comfortably than they could in a conventional executive MPV.

Mercedes Air Suspension for Greater Touring Comfort

The Araror Club will also benefit from Mercedes air suspension, following the successful specification of the existing Araror.

This is especially valuable during longer chauffeur-driven journeys. Air suspension helps provide a smoother and more composed ride across motorways, rural roads and changing road surfaces, making it an important part of the vehicle’s luxury touring capability.

Comfort is not simply determined by the softness of a seat. It is created by the complete travelling environment: the seating position, available space, cabin temperature, noise levels and the way the vehicle responds to the road.

That complete experience is what the Araror Club is being designed to deliver.

Exceptional Luggage Capacity

Behind the passenger cabin will be a substantial dedicated luggage compartment measuring approximately 1,000–1,100mm in depth and around 2.5 metres across the width of the vehicle.

This will transform the practicality of a seven-passenger VIP Sprinter.

The luggage area is being considered from the beginning of the design process rather than treated as whatever space remains after the passenger seating has been installed. It will be capable of accommodating a meaningful combination of large suitcases, cabin bags, suit carriers and specialist equipment.

For golf travel, the width of the compartment should allow golf bags to be loaded securely across the vehicle while retaining useful space beneath and around them for additional luggage.

The same principle will benefit:

International visitors carrying luggage for extended UK tours
Families travelling together from a London or UK airport
Golf groups with clubs, cases and hand luggage
Ski travellers transferring to or from an airport
Cruise passengers with larger quantities of baggage
Corporate groups carrying presentation or event equipment

The objective is to keep passengers, their luggage and their chauffeur together in one exceptional vehicle whenever possible.

Luxury Group Airport Transfers

The Araror Club will be particularly well suited to luxury group airport transfers.

It is common for a seven-passenger group to discover that the advertised capacity of a vehicle refers only to its seats—not to the number of passengers it can carry comfortably with their luggage.

The Club is being designed to address that problem properly.

It will offer a luxurious alternative for group collections from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and other airports throughout the United Kingdom. Flight monitoring and personal airport Meet & Greet can be combined with ample luggage capacity and a relaxed private cabin for the onward journey.

For international travellers arriving after a long-haul flight, the difference will be immediate: generous personal space, comfortable seating, chilled refreshments and no need to divide the party or luggage unnecessarily between several vehicles.

Created for Private UK Tours

A private UK tour places very different demands on a chauffeur vehicle from a short transfer.

Guests may spend several hours travelling between destinations, return to the vehicle throughout the day and rely on it to carry everything required for a multi-day journey. Comfort, luggage capacity, privacy and onboard facilities all become increasingly important.

The Araror Club will be an excellent choice for American visitors exploring Britain by private chauffeur and other international guests travelling through England, Scotland and Wales.

Whether travelling between London, the Cotswolds, Bath and Stonehenge; discovering Cornwall and the South Coast; visiting historic cities and country estates; or undertaking a longer journey between Edinburgh and London, guests will have one dedicated vehicle supporting the complete experience.

With only seven passenger seats, the cabin will remain intimate and exclusive, while the separate luggage compartment will make it practical for extended touring.

It will sit naturally alongside our original Araror and VIP Mini Coach, allowing us to recommend the most appropriate vehicle according to the number of passengers, length of tour and amount of luggage.

An Outstanding Vehicle for Golf Tours

Britain and Ireland offer some of the world’s most celebrated golf courses, but transporting a group of golfers comfortably requires considerably more than passenger seating alone.

Golf bags are long, bulky and difficult to accommodate alongside conventional luggage. A group arriving from the United States may also be carrying large suitcases and hand luggage for an extended stay.

The Araror Club is being developed with these requirements in mind.

Its wide, separate luggage area will provide the flexibility needed for golf bags and personal luggage, while the private passenger cabin will allow guests to relax together between courses, hotels and airports.

From corporate golf days and hospitality events to bespoke multi-day golf tours, it will combine specialist practicality with the experience expected from a White Glove chauffeur service.

Corporate Hospitality and Executive Group Travel

The name “Club” is equally appropriate for business travel.

With seven individual seats, wireless charging, tables, privacy, onboard screens and refreshments, the vehicle will provide an impressive environment for executive groups travelling to meetings, hospitality events and sporting occasions.

Guests will be able to converse privately, prepare between appointments or simply relax while their dedicated chauffeur manages the journey.

The Araror Club will be particularly well suited to:

Corporate roadshows
Executive airport transfers
Premier League football hospitality
Royal Ascot and major race meetings
Wimbledon and other sporting events
Business conferences
Client entertainment
Multi-destination corporate itineraries

Unlike a conventional minibus, the experience will feel private, considered and distinctly exclusive.

The White Glove Standard

Every journey in the Araror Club will be supported by the details that distinguish White Glove Chauffeur Service.

Depending on the journey and agreed requirements, these can include glass-bottled water, premium refreshments, champagne, a luxury snack hamper, blankets, neck pillows, umbrellas and other carefully selected amenities.

The vehicle will be operated by our own professional chauffeurs as part of our independently owned fleet. We do not subcontract journeys to unknown operators.

This gives our clients the reassurance of knowing who is providing their vehicle, who is responsible for its presentation and who is delivering the service.

It is an important part of the White Glove Standard.

Bespoke Vehicles Built Around Our Clients

The Araror Club represents the direction in which White Glove Chauffeur Service continues to develop: distinctive, chauffeur-driven vehicles created around genuine client requirements.

Its generous luggage compartment will not be an afterthought. Its luxury cabin will not be based on fitting in the maximum possible number of seats. Every major decision will be made to balance passenger comfort, practicality and exclusivity.

The result will be a specialist vehicle with an unusually broad range of capabilities: a private touring lounge, an executive hospitality vehicle, a luxury airport transfer solution and a purpose-designed vehicle for golf travel.

Specialist, yet remarkably versatile.

The Next Member of the Araror Family

The Araror Club will build upon everything we have learned from operating our award-winning fleet and the original eight-seat Araror.

It will provide a different balance: one fewer passenger seat, considerably more luggage capacity and a beautifully appointed cabin designed for groups who want to travel together without compromising their comfort.

For private UK tours, group airport transfers, corporate hospitality, golf travel and special occasions, it promises to become one of the most versatile luxury Mercedes Sprinters in Britain.
