Airport Pickups and Where We Meet You

Private hire vehicles cannot collect from the forecourt at Manchester Airport. That area is drop-off only, and waiting there for a pickup risks a £100 fine. All pre-booked cars collect from the designated pickup zones inside the multi-storey car parks.

For Terminal 2 that is the Multi-Storey West car park, signposted P3, a covered five minute walk from arrivals. For Terminal 3 you follow the signs for Express Pick Up. We send the exact meeting point with your booking, so you know where you are walking before you land.

We monitor your flight in real time. Your driver waits in the private hire holding area until you confirm you have your bags, then moves into the pickup zone. That keeps the car park charge down and means you are not standing around waiting.

Meet and greet is included free. If you would rather be met inside arrivals with a name board, tell us when you book. Full terminal by terminal detail is in our Manchester Airport pick up points guide.

Free Waiting Time

Your fare includes 1 hour of free waiting, measured from the moment your flight lands rather than from your booked pickup time. That covers passport control and baggage reclaim.

If your flight is delayed, the driver adjusts and you pay nothing extra. If you land early the same applies, and we will often collect you ahead of your booked slot.

Airport Drop-offs

Manchester Airport now runs two terminals. Terminal 1 closed in 2026 and its airlines moved across, so the terminal you flew from last year may not be the one on your ticket now. Check your airline confirmation the evening before and tell us the terminal when you book.

We drop you at the terminal forecourt and the airport drop-off charge is included in your quoted fare, so you are not asked for it and nothing is added afterwards. If you are driving yourself instead, our drop-off charges guide explains how the barrierless system works.

On timing we work backwards from your check-in deadline, not from the drive time. Our drivers know the M56 backs up between junctions 5 and 6 on weekday mornings and that the A34 southbound crawls during the school run. That is built into your pickup time before you see it.

Fixed Fares, No Surge

You get a price before the car is booked and that price does not change. Not for traffic, not for time of day, not for a delayed flight, not for bank holidays. No meter, no surge multiplier, no charge added at the end.

Payment is by card in the car, cash, or online at booking. Business clients can open an account and settle monthly on one invoice.

Early Morning and Late Night Transfers

We operate 24/7, including Christmas and bank holidays. Early morning airport runs are a large part of what we do. The difference with a pre-booked car is that your driver is assigned and confirmed the night before rather than being found at 4am.

Give us 24 hours where you can, which guarantees the slot you want. We take same day bookings regularly, so it is worth calling if something comes up.

Child Seats and Group Travel

Child seats are available for a small additional charge. Tell us the ages when you book so the seat is fitted before the car arrives, as it cannot be sorted at the door.

For a large group, sports equipment, or a pushchair, mention it at booking and we will send an MPV or mini bus rather than a saloon. Full capacities are on our fleet page.

Areas We Cover

We run daily airport work across Greater Manchester and the North West, all on the same fixed fare terms with flight tracking and free meet and greet included.

Route pages with local journey times and traffic detail are available for Wythenshawe, Rochdale, Liverpool, and Wilmslow. The full list is on our locations page.
