Which Vehicle Is Better for Perth Airport Transfers?
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is our preferred and most popular airport transfer vehicle. It has a large boot that fits multiple suitcases, a whisper-quiet cabin ideal for relaxation after a long flight, Wi-Fi connectivity, wireless charging, and flight monitoring as standard. The stretch limo is available for airport transfers and is occasionally booked for celebration arrivals, but its limited boot space makes it less practical for travellers with significant luggage. For business and routine airport transfers, the Mercedes S-Class is the right choice.
Mercedes vs Stretch Limo: Which Is Better for Corporate Events?
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is purpose-built for corporate transport with an NDA-compliant confidential cabin, executive protocol chauffeurs, Wi-Fi, USB-C charging, and an understated profile appropriate for business travel. The stretch limo is more appropriate for corporate group events such as conference arrivals, client entertainment, and team celebrations where group transport and atmosphere matter more than individual discretion. For one or two executives, the Mercedes is the right choice. For corporate groups of 6-12, the stretch limo provides a group experience.
