If you’re attending a concert, sports match or any large public event and have booked your Manchester airport taxi service , it’s important to know where and how to meet your driver after the event ends.
Due to venue restrictions and traffic controls, drivers may not always be able to wait directly outside the event location. Here’s how to ensure a smooth pickup experience.
Pre-Arranged Meeting Point
To avoid confusion and delays, we recommend agreeing on a pre-arranged meeting point with your driver before the event begins.
This should be:
- A nearby accessible location
- Clearly visible and easy to find
- Within a short walking distance from the venue
Your driver will contact you via phone with exact instructions once they arrive, so keep your mobile phone switched on and available.
Plan for Extra Time
Exiting large venues can take longer than expected due to crowd control, security checks or transport changes. We advise allowing some extra buffer time between the end of the event and your scheduled pickup.
This ensures you reach the agreed meeting point without rushing and gives your driver enough time to wait for you.
Complimentary Waiting Time
Please note that:
- ⏱️ Your driver will wait for up to 15 minutes from the scheduled pickup time at private or event locations
- ⏱️ For pickups at airports, train stations or ports, the waiting time is extended to 60 minutes
If you expect to be late, please inform our support team as soon as possible so we can notify your driver and make necessary adjustments.
How to Coordinate With Your Driver
We recommend the following steps:
- Provide clear details about the event and venue during booking
- Share any known exit points or preferred meeting areas
- Keep your phone handy to receive calls or messages from your driver
- Contact our support team if you need help coordinating pickup arrangements
Our dispatch team can assist in relaying messages between you and your chauffeur to ensure a seamless transfer.
