Mercedes-Benz V-Class:
why this car is made for travel

5 min read By the Transfero team
Key takeaways
  • The V-Class carries up to 6 passengers on individual seats, with room for their luggage — one vehicle instead of two cars.
  • Sliding doors, a high roof and climate control make it easy to get in and comfortable over several hours.
  • Prices per vehicle: transfer €50, hourly €50, full day €400; Tallinn–Tartu €260 and Tallinn–Riga €365 one way.
  • Shared by six, Tallinn–Riga works out at about €61 per person and Tallinn–Tartu at about €43 — door to door.

Short answer: the Mercedes-Benz V-Class is built around the passengers rather than the driver. Six individual seats, sliding doors, space for luggage and a calm cabin make it the car we recommend most often for families, small groups and any route longer than an hour.

Many cars are comfortable for twenty minutes. The real test is the fourth hour on the road to Riga, or the moment a family with two children, a pram and five suitcases lands at Tallinn Airport. That is where the V-Class shows what it was designed for.

Space that changes the journey

In a sedan, the third passenger in the back is always the one who drew the short straw. In the V-Class, nobody sits in the middle. Each passenger has an individual seat, room for their legs and their own place to put a phone, a book or a coffee. On a long trip that difference is felt in the mood of the whole group on arrival.

Five details that make it a travel car

  • Sliding doors. Easy to get in and out on a narrow street, in a car park or with a child in your arms — and no door swinging into the next car.
  • Individual seats. Comfortable for adults on long routes, and practical for child seats, which are included in every price.
  • Seats that can face each other. With a table between them, the rear cabin works for a family card game or a work discussion. Read more in When the car becomes a mobile office.
  • Room for luggage. Suitcases, a pram, a cabin bag for everyone. Tell us what you are bringing when you book, and we will make sure it fits.
  • Climate control. A comfortable temperature in a Baltic winter and on a warm July afternoon alike.

Every Transfero ride also includes Wi-Fi, still water, child seats, and meet & greet with a name sign at the airport.

What it costs — and what it costs per person

V-Class prices are per vehicle, not per seat. For a group, that makes the arithmetic simple.

ServicePrice per vehiclePer person, 6 passengers
Transfer (A to B, up to 1 hour)€50about €8
Hourly hire€50/hrabout €8/hr
Full day with driver€400about €67
Tallinn → Tartu (185 km, about 2 h 20 min)€260about €43
Tallinn → Riga (310 km, about 4–4.5 h)€365about €61

One-way prices. Per-person figures are simply the vehicle price divided by six and rounded. More routes on our pricing page.

The comparison that matters is not only the ticket price. Six people travelling by bus or train still need to get to the station with their luggage and from the station to the hotel. The V-Class goes from your front door to theirs, on your schedule, with stops when you want them.

Who the V-Class suits best

Families

Parents, grandparents and children in one car, with the pram and the suitcases. Child seats are included — just tell us each child's age, height and weight. More ideas in our guide to family travel.

Small groups of friends

A weekend in Riga, a day in Lahemaa, a trip to a countryside sauna. Everyone travels together and nobody has to drive.

Long routes

Tartu, Narva, Riga, Vilnius. On a journey of several hours, individual seats and space to stretch make the biggest difference. Read why the longer the journey, the more a private transfer pays off.

Business guests

Two to four colleagues heading to a meeting, using the facing seats as a small meeting room.

When another vehicle fits better

For one or two passengers with light luggage, a Skoda Octavia (transfer from €30) or a Jaguar F-Pace (from €40) is the more economical choice. For an executive or a VIP guest, the S-Class. For seven or eight people, the Sprinter for up to 8 (transfer €70), and for larger groups the Sprinter for up to 23 or a touring coach. See the full fleet.

The main idea: the V-Class turns "how do we all get there?" into one booking, one car and one price — with space for everyone and everything.
