Taxi vs Manchester Airport parking

Manchester Airport charges £5 for a 5-minute drop-off and £6 for 10 minutes, at both Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. Pick up from the drop-off forecourt and you risk a £100 penalty. Add parking for your whole trip, fuel both ways and the shuttle bus. A fixed-price family taxi is often the simpler and cheaper choice. One fare, no clock-watching, no £100 risk.

Free Child Seat Manchester Airport Taxi

Yes, the baby or child seat is free on every Manchester Airport family taxi, for ages 1 to 12. Tell us each child's age when you book and the correct seat is fitted before pickup, at no extra charge. There is no hire-car add-on fee and nothing for you to carry through the airport.

Manchester Airport Taxi Pick Up Points

Manchester Airport now has two terminals, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. Your driver meets you at the official pick up zone for your terminal, and the pick up charge is already in your fixed fare. Keep your phone switched on so your driver can reach you.

Terminal 2 Pick Up Zone (P3)

For Terminal 2 pick up, follow the signs for the T2 West Car Park and Pick Up Zone. The sat-nav postcode is M90 5PR (P3). It is a multi-storey car park, and you wait at the Express Pick Up area on the ground floor. Your driver stays in the free holding area nearby. They drive to you once you are ready, as the zone has a short wait limit. No UK SIM? Connect to the airport's free _FreeWIFI to message your driver.

Terminal 3 Pick Up Zone (P14)

For Terminal 3 pick up, follow the signs for the T3 pick up zone. The sat-nav postcode is M90 1QX (P14). It is about a 3-minute walk from arrivals. Wait there, keep your phone on, and your driver comes to you from the holding area when you are ready.

Manchester Airport Taxi Changes: Terminal 1 to Terminal 3

Manchester Airport closed Terminal 1 in November 2025 as part of a £1.3 billion transformation programme. The old Terminal 1 building reopened as Terminal 3 on 5 March 2026. The airport now has two terminals. Almost every airline uses Terminal 2. Only Ryanair uses Terminal 3. If your booking still says Terminal 1, check with your airline. Then update your pickup terminal in Manage My Booking or call 01582 22 80 80.

Why We Don't Pick Up at the Forecourt

Manchester Airport uses a barrierless ANPR camera system. Picking up at the drop-off forecourt triggers an automatic £100 penalty. Our drivers always use the official P3 (Terminal 2) and P14 (Terminal 3) pick up zones instead. The pick up charge is built into your fixed fare, so you never see a surprise on your bill. For the airport's own rules, see the official Manchester Airport pick-up guidance
