RideX runs a private transfer taxi service from Eccles to Manchester Airport, with clear details for the whole journey. We charge a fixed fare, with no surge pricing at any peak time. You can book 24 hours a day, all year round, including every UK bank holiday, and all airport pickups include 1 hour of free waiting after your flight lands. We cover both terminals at Manchester Airport: Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. To book, call +44 161 507 6677 or book online. RideX is a private hire operator licensed by Wolverhampton Council (licence PHOP445), and we have run compliant airport transfers across Greater Manchester for many years.
All our drivers pass strict background checks and hold valid private hire driving licences. They know the route and its traffic well, including the regular congestion points on the M60 at Barton Bridge and the dedicated entry points for each terminal. When planning your pickup time, they build in buffer time for possible traffic disruption.
Pickups cover the whole of Eccles, including Monton, Patricroft, Winton, Peel Green and Barton. The standard route runs from Eccles onto the southbound M60 via the A57, then joins the M56 into the airport. The full journey takes roughly 20 minutes off peak. During the weekday morning peak (7:30 to 9:00am) and evening peak (4:30 to 6:30pm), allow approximately 35 minutes. Travel within the airport grounds adds an extra 5 to 10 minutes depending on your terminal, and the different entry points for Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 are factored into your pickup time in advance.
