“What's the difference between a regular taxi and a ”jumbo taxi"? When you start looking for a larger taxi in Tokyo, you often find yourself confused by the many different types of taxis and their different calling methods. In fact, choosing the right taxi depends on the number of people, luggage, and purpose of use. In this article, we will explain in an easy-to-understand way how to choose the right type of taxi for using a taxi in Tokyo, as well as the appropriate scenes and the booking process.

What is a wagon taxi? What is the difference from an ordinary taxi?

"Wagon taxi" is a nickname for a large taxi that has a wider interior than a typical sedan-type taxi, and can carry large numbers of people or large luggage at one time. Our company offers two main types of vehicles, which can be rented individually for specific purposes. Both are available for one-way rentals, and can be used primarily within the Tokyo 23 wards.

GranAce (wagon taxi)

Toyota's large luxury minivan. With up to five passengers, the spacious, luxurious interior is appealing. It is ideal for executive transportation, visits from guests, and for comfortable travel in small groups.

HiAce (Giant Taxi)

A large one-box vehicle with a wide, super-long body. It can accommodate up to 9 people and can also store large items such as suitcases and golf bags.

Ordinary taxi

Suitable for short distances with 1 to 4 passengers and little luggage. However, when there are a large number of people, you will need to share the ride with multiple other passengers, and large luggage may not fit.

Tips for choosing:The basic rule is to choose based on the number of people and the amount of luggage. If you want to travel in style with 4-5 people, choose the Grand Ace; if you have 6-9 people or a large amount of luggage, choose the High Ace. If you are unsure, please let us know the number of people, luggage, and destination, and we will recommend the best vehicle for you.

Consult with us about which vehicle would be suitable.

When enough people are gathered, the private charter fee becomes more affordable per person. Leave the hassle of changing trains and the heavy luggage to us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are a wagon taxi and a jumbo taxi different?

At our company, we offer the GranAce (up to 5 passengers, a high-quality interior) as a wagon taxi and the HiAce Wide Super Long (up to 9 passengers, suitable for large luggage) as a jumbo taxi. We recommend choosing based on the number of passengers and the amount of luggage.

How many people can I ask for?

Even small groups can use it. Since it is a one-car rental, the burden per person decreases the more people there are. For 4 to 5 people, the GranAce is suitable, and for more than 6 people or if there are many suitcases, the HiAce is ideal.

Which areas of Tokyo can I use it in?

We provide service primarily in the Tokyo 23 wards. If the pickup or drop-off location is within the service area, we can also assist with the other location, even if it is far away. For more information, please contact us along with the destination.

Is there an extra charge even at night or early morning?

There are no additional charges based on the time of day. Even for early morning airport transfers or late-night travel, the convenience of private charter allows for easy calculation of the price.

When can I find out the price?
