Airport transportation for multigenerational group of 7

[mgc]

Hi All- I've read through posts and it seems like a van with Tiffany Town Car might be the way to go, but just want to see if others have advice or experiences to share.
Group of 7 people- one slower moving grandmother, 2 kids in booster seats. Initially was just going to do Mears or The Sunshine Flyer but it seems like a haul from luggage terminal to bus terminal and with 7 of us- the difference between the total cost for 7 vs the cost of the private transport seems worth it. Are there any other options I should be considering?
Also- we are doing a split stay, starting at Boardwalk and ending at AKL- does anyone know if we would still be considered "round trip" or would we have to do 2 one-ways?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, a car service is your best bet. You can be dropped off and picked up from different locations. Still considered round trip.

Will there be enough space for all the luggage for 7 people?

But yes , do the car service. Last year, just DH and I , walked from luggage pickup to ME and it seemed like 10 miles. I mean the walk was long before , but with dragging/wheeling luggage made it 10 times as bad. This year we used a car service. One note, this year my DH used wheelchair assistance from the airport. We used an elevator. The driver was waiting by the escalators. So just something to keep in mind.

For a group of that size I would definitely recommend a private van service, note that Mears also offers this, you just have to book on their normal website (not Mears Connect) or call them directly.
