Where We Pick You Up and Drop You Off

We drop off at the Terminal 2 or Terminal 3 forecourt of Manchester Airport, so you walk straight into departures. On the return, we pick you up from the official pickup zones. Terminal 2 is P3 (postcode M90 5PR), Terminal 3 is P14 (postcode M90 1QX). Never the forecourt, which triggers a £100 penalty from the airport's ANPR camera system.
In Chester, we pick up from any postcode, CH1 to CH4, plus CH60 to CH66 on the Wirral. That covers the City Centre and Hoole hotels, homes in Handbridge, Hoole, Upton, Boughton, Newton and Vicars Cross, and offices around The Rows and along Northgate Street. We also collect from the University of Chester and Chester Racecourse at the Roodee.
