The board and the boots, as well as all the other members, will head to the snowy mountains together. The ski and snowboard expedition is possible with a private jumbo taxi; you don't have to load or unload anything.
From Saitama and Tokyo to the slopes in Echigo-Yuzawa, Nemba, GALA Yuzawa, and Gunma. 5 to 9 people + long boards and large luggage in one vehicle. We take care of driving on snowy roads and traffic jams, with no extra charge and no estimate required.
The skis are about 160 to 170 cm long, and the snowboard is about 140 to 160 cm. When you add boots, clothing, and changing clothes for the entire group, it simply won’t fit in a typical sedan taxi. Furthermore, when the group is between 5 and 9 people, the car has to be split up, and you need a snowplow driver to operate it. With the Jumbo Taxi for Rent, you can bring your board and equipment along and have the driver take care of the driving. This article answers frequently asked questions about this type of taxi for ski and snowboard expeditions, using numbers.
Why Jumbo is the choice for ski and snowboard expeditions
Long boards can be stacked together
The HiAce Wide Super Long has a long cargo compartment, allowing you to pack multiple sets of ski poles, snowboard equipment, and boot bags together. The interior is also spacious and won't feel cramped.
Everyone is in the same car
Up to nine people in one vehicle. On the way, there is a tactical meeting; on the way back, we all share the feeling of being on a slippery slope. We don't get separated as we split up.
Driving on snowy roads is for professionals
Mountain roads in winter are prone to snow and ice. Leave driving to the driver, and everyone can rest thoroughly during the journey.
No traffic jams on the way back
Even during the traffic jam on the way home on weekends in the evening, you just sit there. You don't have to drive with a tired body that has finished sliding.
Just telling the number of sheets and the number of people
When enough people are gathered, the charter fee is shared among everyone, making it more affordable. Whether you need to carry bulky boards or drive on snowy roads, we can take care of it all for you.
Consulting about ski and snowboard transfer servicesFrequently Asked Questions about Skiing and Snowboarding Shuttle Service
How many ski boards can I store?
We provide information based on the assumption of loading a set of boards, boots, and bags for a group of people. Boards and snowboard bags that are 160 to 170 cm in length can also be efficiently stored by adapting the use of the luggage compartment. If you let us know the number of people and the amount of luggage in advance, we will suggest the optimal stacking method and vehicle type.
Is it okay for snowboarding, boots, and large bags as well?
Yes. You can also pack large bags containing your snowboard, boots, gear, and clothes together. If you would like to separate wet gear, you can discuss this during the day of loading.
How many people can ride?
Up to 9 people can travel together. It is a size suitable for groups of 5 to 9 people, and it is also easy to balance the load with luggage. It is also suitable for use by smaller groups.
Are the snow tires and chains okay?
Equipment and driving skills are essential when driving on winter mountain roads. Professional drivers are in charge of driving, so you don’t have to worry about driving on unfamiliar snow-covered roads on your own. Detailed information about equipment and routes will be provided upon inquiry.
How far can I go to the ski resort?
If you are from Saitama or Tokyo, we can provide comprehensive service to destinations along the Kansei Highway, such as Echigo-Yuzawa, GALA Yuzawa, Nemba, and Kagara, and slopes in the Gunma area (as long as the destination is within the coverage area, either the place of departure or the place of arrival is acceptable). Please contact us with your destination details.
Can you help me even if I don't know when I'll be home?
Pick-up can be arranged at the end of the ski day or for round-trip reservations. During the weekends, the morning commute from Tokyo tends to be the busiest time, so we recommend setting your schedule with plenty of time.
A rough comparison of transportation methods
| means | Boards and large luggage | Driving on snowy roads | Group Movement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Train + Shinkansen | The burden of transporting and changing transportation methods is on you | No | Even the seats might get scattered |
| Self-drive rental car | It can be stacked, but you need a certain number of pieces. | By myself (snowy roads, traffic jams) | The car will be separated |
| charter jumbo cab | Assemble the number of people together and load them | Leave it to the professionals | All together on one device |
When splitting the cost:By dividing the charter fee by the number of people, the burden per person becomes much more manageable. The hassle of carrying the boards, driving on snowy roads, the fatigue from having to share rides, and driving in traffic on the way back—these are all difficulties that are hard to put a price on, but we can all share them a little at a time. Chartering is economical when the number of people and the board match.
