Travelling with oversized luggage like skis, golf clubs, bicycles, or musical instruments can be stressful – especially when you’re heading to or from the airport. Whether you’re a professional athlete, a touring musician, or just taking your gear on holiday, here’s everything you need to know to make your journey hassle-free.
Can You Bring Oversized Luggage in a Taxi or Airport Transfer?
Yes, but not all taxis or transfer vehicles are equipped to handle large or awkward items. That’s why it’s essential to pre-book with a service that offers suitable vehicles, such as 5-8 seater taxis or minibuses with ample boot space.
At DM Airport Transfers, we offer spacious vehicles tailored for passengers with extra or oversized luggage. Whether you’re heading to a golf trip in Scotland or a music gig in London, we’ve got the room to move your gear safely.
Common Types of Oversized Items We Handle:
- Golf clubs
- Ski and snowboard equipment
- Surfboards
- Bicycles
- Cellos, guitars, drum kits
- Fishing rods and camping gear
- Oversized suitcases
Tips for Travelling with Sports Equipment & Instruments
1. Book in Advance
Let your transfer provider know what equipment you’re bringing when you book. This ensures the right vehicle is assigned and avoids last-minute issues.
2. Use Protective Cases
Whether it’s a hard case for your guitar or a padded bag for your snowboard, always use protection. Some airlines and transfer services won’t accept gear without proper casing.
3. Check Airline Policies
Each airline has different rules on sports equipment and instruments – including size limits, additional charges, and packaging requirements.
4. Label Everything
Include your name, phone number, and destination on all your gear in case anything goes missing.
5. Choose the Right Transfer Vehicle
Standard saloons may struggle with large cases. Consider an estate car, people carrier, or minibus instead.
