One-Way Service
One-Way Service covers one journey between two addresses: Terminal 3 to a hotel at Salford Quays, Terminal 2 to a client meeting in Chester, a house in Stoke-on-Trent to Terminal 2 for an early flight. For an airport pick-up, your chauffeur checks the flight status and times the pick-up to when you actually land, and your booking confirmation shows where to meet the chauffeur; the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules. For a flight out, you set the time.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: Terminal 2 to a conference hotel in the city centre on arrival, then out to Terminal 2 again after the closing session, or Terminal 3 to a family home in Hyde and back for the return flight. In the weeks of the Christmas Markets, demand for cars across the city rises. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pick-up times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Some arrival days do not end at one address. With hourly service from MAN you choose at booking where the day starts, where it ends and how many hours you need, and the same chauffeur and vehicle remain with you for that whole period. Send the day's programme with the booking, so the chauffeur has it before you land. It suits a day built around appointments rather than a single destination.

Chauffeur Service at Manchester Airport (MAN)

In 2025, 32.07 million passengers used Manchester Airport, the third-largest in the UK. Terminal 1 has closed, and flights now leave from two terminals: Ryanair from Terminal 3, easyJet, Jet2 and the other airlines from Terminal 2, so give your terminal in the booking and the car goes there. Picking up passengers in the terminal drop-off zones is not allowed; collections take place in the car parks, such as the Terminal 2 West multi-storey.

Manchester city centre is 9 miles north, 30–40 minutes by car. Hyde is 15 miles to the north-east, 30–40 minutes. Liverpool lies 36 miles west, 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Leeds, on the far side of the Pennines, is 57 miles, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes.

When you fly in, your chauffeur checks the flight status and times the pick-up to when you actually land, and your booking confirmation shows where to meet the chauffeur; the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules. For the flight home, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

Sprinter Van Service at Manchester Airport (MAN)

Touring crews form a Manchester Airport group of their own. Co-op Live, the arena beside the Etihad Stadium that has held concerts since May 2024 for up to 23,500 people, is about 12 miles from the terminals, 35–50 minutes. If a band flies in for a show, its technicians and guests travel with instrument cases, stands and wardrobe trunks. For a crew of that size, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 passengers with their luggage. Put the number of cases into the booking, so the vehicle is matched to the load.

If the party travels on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own. When you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation, so a tour manager sees the whole schedule in one place.

Families and racegoers head south-west instead. Chester, a walled Roman city with a racecourse on the river, is about 34 miles from the airport, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes; in a van, a family's suitcases and pushchairs ride together for the whole drive.

Coach Service at Manchester Airport (MAN)

The G20 leaders' summit is planned for Manchester Central, the convention complex in the city centre, in November 2027. Delegations, officials and the press are expected to land at the airport in the days before it. Coaches come in several sizes with up to 56 seats, and the luggage travels in the hold, so a delegation of forty can travel as one party from the terminal to its hotel.

Coach groups also go further. Stoke-on-Trent is 37 miles south, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes, for school parties visiting the Potteries; Preston is 41 miles north, 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, on the way to the Lancashire coast.

Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early for summit weeks and for the Christmas Markets, which fill the city centre from 6 November to 22 December 2026. Streets around the markets are busy, so send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop. If your plans go beyond a standard booking, write to support with the dates, addresses, number of passengers, flights and luggage, and the team will arrange it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your airport transfer with Bookinglane.

Which terminal does my flight use at Manchester Airport?

Ryanair flights use Terminal 3; easyJet, Jet2 and the other airlines use Terminal 2. Terminal 1 has closed, so the airport now works with these two terminals only. Your airline confirmation shows the terminal; put your terminal and flight number in the booking.

How do you pay the drop-off charge at Manchester Airport?

The drop-off zones at Terminals 2 and 3 have no barriers and no pay machines. Cameras record each car; payment is made on the airport's website or by phone before midnight of the following day; without payment, a parking charge notice goes to the registered keeper. Collecting passengers in these zones is not allowed. The rules and current rates of each charge are published by the authority or airport that runs it.

Is there a train station at Manchester Airport?

Yes. Manchester Airport station has trains to Manchester Piccadilly and other cities in the north of England, and the Metrolink tram line ends at the airport. A car is the simpler choice with heavy cases, small children or an address away from the rail lines.

Our group arrives on different flights — can that be arranged?

It can: book one transfer for each flight, for example a Ryanair arrival at Terminal 3 and a long-haul arrival at Terminal 2. Before a van or a coach is chosen, tell support how many cases, boxes or sports bags travel with the party, not only the number of passengers. For the G20 summit in November 2027, arrange the bookings well ahead.

What do passengers need to know about Manchester Airport (MAN) in 2026 and 2027?

Since early 2026 the airport has run two terminals, and Terminal 3, used by Ryanair, is being enlarged into the space Terminal 1 left. easyJet starts flights between Manchester and Southampton on 4 December 2026. The G20 leaders' summit is set to take place at Manchester Central in November 2027.
