Land with four or five kids and the taxi rank is the first wall: a standard cab takes four passengers, so you are splitting across two cars before the holiday has even started.
Why a pre-booked van usually wins
One minibus transfer keeps the family together, quotes a single fixed price, and the driver meets you at arrivals — no rank queue, no fare surprise, child seats arranged in advance.
When two taxis still make sense
Very short, cheap hops where no transfer operates. For anything else with 6–7 people and luggage, the van is calmer and often cheaper than two metered cars.
