THOUSANDS of guests who stay at the luxury Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, Scotland, will be ferried around in Renault Grand Espaces which have been added to its chauffeur fleet.

As well as providing chauffeur drive services, the vehicles are used to show guests around the resort and will cover an average 80,000 miles a year.

Seven have been added to the fleet, replacing the previous-shape Espace which the hotel ran for five years.

Chauffeur manager John Riddell, who runs a team of 13 drivers and is responsible for the management and upkeep of the vehicles, said: ‘We have used Renault Espaces for the last five years. The seat configuration is ideal for our requirements, offering flexibility and space for guests and their luggage.’
