Why the Mercedes V-Class became the quiet default

Not a van. Not a limousine. The vehicle that handles most of what travellers actually ask for.

Twenty years ago, the standard executive vehicle was a sedan. Today, across most of Italy, it is the Mercedes V-Class: a long-wheelbase, six-passenger vehicle with captain seats, polished wood trim, separate climate controls and a flat floor.

It works equally well for a family of four with luggage, a business team of six, or a couple who simply prefer the space. It is now the default vehicle AYR Concierge offers for transfers longer than thirty minutes.
