Why a private car beats the taxi queue
Manchester Airport is the busiest airport in the north of England, with three terminals and flights landing from early morning until late at night. After a long flight, the last thing you want is a queue at the rank or a train change with your luggage.
With a private Manchester Airport transfer, your chauffeur is waiting in arrivals with your name on a sign, takes your bags and drives you straight to your hotel, home or office. For two or more travellers the price is often close to the cost of train tickets and a taxi at the other end.
- Meeting point at your own terminal
- No change with luggage at a station
- One price for the whole car, not per person

Getting from Manchester Airport to the city
Manchester Airport (IATA code MAN) is in Ringway, about 10 miles south of Manchester city centre, close to the M56. It has three terminals. Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 handle many holiday and European flights, and Terminal 3 serves several scheduled and long-haul carriers. Because the terminals are separate, your chauffeur needs your flight number to meet you at the right one. A reliable Manchester Airport transfer is the first thing many travellers arrange.
Travel time and best departure time
Outside rush hour, the drive from Manchester Airport to the city centre takes about 30 minutes via the M56 and Princess Parkway. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, or when there is an event at a city stadium or arena, allow up to an hour. For departures from Manchester we suggest leaving the city centre about 3 hours before an international flight.
Private transfer, train, tram or taxi?
Trains and the Metrolink tram connect the airport with the city, and they are good value for a single traveller with light luggage. You still need to get from the station to your final address, and services are least convenient very early, very late or when there are engineering works. A taxi uses metered fares and a rank. A pre-booked private car gives you a fixed price, a named chauffeur and a vehicle sized to your luggage.
Beyond Manchester
Many guests continue straight to Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Chester or the Peak District. We drive anywhere in the UK at a fixed price: enter the address in the booking form for an instant quote.
Groups, families and business travellers
Our Mercedes V-Class carries up to seven passengers with luggage, which often makes a private transfer the most economical choice for groups. Companies can book a corporate chauffeur service with invoicing for guests arriving at Manchester Airport.
