Mercedes V-Class & Viano Hire — 7 Seater People Carriers
Seven seats, luggage space, and a driver if you want one
The Mercedes V-Class is the default answer when a group needs to travel together and nobody wants to draw the short straw. Still widely known by its previous name, the Viano, it seats seven in proper comfort with luggage space behind the back row, which is why it has become the standard vehicle for airport runs, corporate visits and family trips across South Africa. Veloce keeps one of the deepest V-Class fleets in the country, available for self-drive or chauffeur-driven hire from both Cape Town and Johannesburg.
A V-Class booking usually means one of a few things: a chauffeured collection from Cape Town International, OR Tambo or Lanseria; an executive group moving between meetings across a day; a wedding party that needs to arrive together; a wine-route or golf day where nobody wants to be the designated driver; a family holiday with a week of luggage; or a matric dance group travelling in one vehicle rather than four. Our team can advise on how many vehicles a group actually needs once the luggage is accounted for.
The seven-seat layout is the whole point. Individual rear seats mean nobody is stuck in a middle place, the rear pair can be turned to face each other for a working journey, and there is still boot space behind the third row for airport luggage. For groups of five to seven it is almost always simpler and cheaper than running two cars, and it is considerably more comfortable over distance than a large SUV with a cramped third row.
Self-drive V-Class hire starts from R6,000 per day and includes 150 km daily, with discounted multi-day, weekly, and monthly rates available. The security deposit is 3-5% of vehicle value (capped at R150,000), and every renter clears biometric verification, document checks, and a vehicle-specific briefing before driving. International visitors are welcome with a valid home licence and an International Driving Permit. Chauffeur-driven V-Class hire, including airport transfers and full-day bookings, is quoted as a flat package by event.
