Inside
Three hours pass better when the space is real
Naples to Rome takes about as long as a short-haul flight. What makes the difference is what surrounds you while it passes.
Light leather, not black
In summer a dark cabin turns into an oven even with the air on. The seats here are light leather and the rear windows are tinted: you can look out without being looked at, and without cooking.
The doors slide
They open sideways instead of swinging wide. In a tight car park or under a hotel portico you step straight out — no contortions, and no door in the side of the car next to you.
The climate works at the back too
Whoever sits in the back is not stuck with the driver’s choices. A small thing, until six of you travel in August.
A boot behind the third row
Six large cases fit without folding a seat away and without anything ending up on anyone’s lap. With a lot of luggage, this is the one.
On board
Three hours is a lot. Spend them however you like.
Nobody expects you to make conversation. The most appreciated part of this job is a quiet journey — talk if you want to, disappear if you would rather.
Work
A socket at every seat and Wi-Fi on board. Two hours of motorway are two hours of work, if you need them.
Sleep
At four in the morning most people sleep, and rightly so. The seats recline and the blinds are there.
Watch it go by
The stretch between Naples and Cassino at sunset is one of the reasons not to be the one driving.
What car it is, exactly
A long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz Classe V, 5.37 metres. Automatic gearbox, light leather with wood trim inside, sliding side doors. That is the standard of our own car: what changes from one trip to the next is the road, not what you find on board.

In partnership
E-Class, for one or two travellers
A saloon for when the van is more than you need: two people, two suitcases, a business trip.
This car isn’t ours, and we’d rather say so here than let you find out on arrival: we pass the driving to a colleague with their own private-hire licence, chosen from the people we have worked with for years.
The booking stays with us — you message us, you agree the price with us — and before confirming we tell you who is picking you up. You pay them for the journey, and they give you the receipt or invoice. What happens on board is down to them; what we can vouch for is the choice of who does it.
If the car isn’t ours, you’ll know before you confirm.
