Car service - 4 passengers?
Hi all.
I have 4 upper class reward seats booked from LHR to ATL and was originally told that with 2 A and 2 C I would need 17,500 to book the car service. I transferred in exactly what I needed and now that I've got an address for pickup I called back and now they say with 4 of us, they'll need two cars so 2x 17,500.
Has anyone traveled on award seats and booked the car service for 4 people?
Any idea which representative is correct?

From this page
(the larger car mentions things like carrying skis not extra passengers)
Cars are normally able to carry a maximum of three passengers with a maximum of three large suitcases. See the Special Requests section below if you need a larger car.

I don't know of any car service which uses standard 4-door sedans which will transport more than three passengers unless one is a lap child. Here in the US I'm presuming that it's a liability / insurance matter.
Car service in Atlanta, even with an SUV, is pretty cheap if you are headed anywhere in the ATL area. A heck of a lot less than the value of 17,500 unless you've got them to burn.

Even in London, I would think paying for cash for a car service would be better than burning even 17,500 miles unless you have so many miles and need to find ways to use them.
