If you are planning a trip to England’s Golf Coast, you are about to play some of the finest links courses in the world. From the 154th Open venue Royal Birkdale to the stunning dunes of Formby and Hillside, the North West is a golfer’s paradise.

However, there is one logistical hurdle that catches groups out every year: The Gear.

Most standard taxis and even many SUVs simply cannot handle four adult passengers plus four massive tour bags and luggage. This often forces groups to book two separate cars, doubling the cost and splitting the group up. At Manpool Transfers, we have a much better way.

The MPV Myth: Why Standard Taxis Fail

Many golfers book a “6-seater” or a standard MPV thinking it will be plenty of space. The problem is that when you use all the seats in a standard MPV, the boot space almost entirely disappears.

  • The “Lap Bag” Disaster: Nobody wants to spend an hour traveling from Manchester Airport to Southport with a 20kg golf bag across their lap or tucked under their feet.
  • The Two-Car Cost: Booking two standard taxis might seem cheaper at first, but with “event pricing” and two separate fares, it usually costs significantly more than one executive transfer.

The Manpool Executive Solution

We specialize in golf group logistics. Our fleet is chosen specifically to ensure that your group stays together and your equipment is handled with care.

1. The Mercedes V-Class (The “Gold Standard”)

For a group of four, the Mercedes V-Class is unbeatable. It provides a luxury “mobile lounge” experience where you can discuss the day’s round in comfort.

  • Capacity: 4 Passengers comfortably.
  • Luggage: 4 Full-sized Golf Bags + 4 Carry-on Bags.
  • Why it works: We use the extra-long versions of the V-Class, meaning the boot is deep enough to swallow four tour bags without infringing on the cabin space.

2. The XLWB Ford Tourneo (The “Big Boot”)

If your group is larger—or if you just like having extra room to move—our Extra Long Wheelbase (XLWB) Ford Tourneo is the perfect workhorse.

  • Capacity: 6 Passengers.
  • Luggage: 6 Full-sized Golf Bags + 6 Carry-on Bags.
  • Why it works: The “XLWB” is the key. It has a significantly larger luggage area than the standard model, allowing us to fit six of everything without anyone feeling cramped.

Professional “Wait & Return” Service

Planning to play Royal Liverpool (Hoylake) in the morning and head back to your hotel in Southport in the afternoon? We offer a full Wait & Return service. Your driver will drop you at the clubhouse door, handle the loading of your clubs, and be waiting exactly where you left them the moment you finish your 18th hole. There’s no waiting around for an Uber to find its way to a remote golf club entrance.

  • Royal Birkdale (Home of The Open 2026)
