Flying from Manchester Airport and need a taxi from Ashton-under-Lyne to get you there? Whether it is a long-awaited holiday, a business trip, or a last-minute flight, the one thing you do not want to be worrying about on travel day is your transport. Call a Car takes that off your plate completely.
Our taxi from Ashton-under-Lyne to Manchester Airport starts from £31 plus drop-off fee. The fare is agreed when you book and it stays exactly that. Just a straightforward, fixed-price transfer from your door in Ashton-under-Lyne to the terminal you need.
We have been running airport transfers across East Manchester since 1970 and Ashton-under-Lyne is one of our busiest areas. Our drivers know these roads properly and they understand what it takes to get passengers to the airport on time, every time.
Here is what to expect on the journey so you can plan your departure time properly:
Plus Drop-off Fee
Approximately 14 miles from Ashton-under-Lyne to Manchester Airport
Around 25 to 35 minutes depending on traffic and time of day
Primarily via the M60 motorway, giving a direct and reliable connection from Ashton-under-Lyne straight to the airport
The M60 gets noticeably busier from around 7am on weekday mornings. If your flight departs before 9am, we always recommend booking your pickup a little earlier than feels strictly necessary. Security queues and bag drop both take time, and arriving at the airport with breathing room is far better than arriving in a rush. For very early morning flights before 6am, the motorway is usually quiet and the journey comes in well within that estimate. Not sure what time to book? Give us a call and we will work it out with you.
The Ashton-under-Lyne to Manchester Airport transfer fare starts from £31 plus drop-off fee. That figure is confirmed at the point of booking and does not change between then and the moment your driver drops you at the terminal.
A quick note on the drop-off fee since it is something passengers ask about. Manchester Airport charges all taxis and private hire vehicles a fee for entering the terminal drop-off zone. Every company operating airport transfers pays it and it goes directly to the airport. We show it separately in your booking so that your total cost is completely visible from the start. There is nothing added on quietly at the end.
Happy to pay by cash instead? Not a problem. Call us on 0161 320 7117 or book through the E-Booker.
Manchester Airport has three terminals and each one is in a slightly different location on the site. Knowing yours before your driver picks you up is one of those small details that makes the start of a trip run much more smoothly.
Terminal 1 is the largest and busiest of the three, handling airlines including Ryanair, Jet2, Emirates, and a wide range of other short and long haul carriers.
Terminal 2 is the newest and most recently expanded terminal at the airport. Airlines including easyJet, British Airways, and TUI operate from here, along with several other major carriers. If you are on a popular holiday or low-cost route there is a good chance Terminal 2 is where you need to be.
Terminal 3 is the smallest terminal and handles a mix of scheduled and charter flights. Always worth checking your boarding pass or the airline website before you travel to confirm.
When you book your Ashton-under-Lyne to Manchester Airport taxi, just let us know your terminal and your driver will head directly to the right drop-off point.
This is something that does not always get thought about until it is too late. If a friend or family member usually drives you to the airport, think about what happens after they drop you off. They have to park up, wait around, or just head straight back home. It costs them time, it costs them fuel, and if they are dropping you for an early morning flight, it costs them a decent night’s sleep, too.
Here is a much simpler arrangement. Book both legs of your trip with Call a Car – the outbound transfer from Ashton-under-Lyne to Manchester Airport and the return from Manchester Airport back to Ashton-under-Lyne when you land. Your driver handles both.
When you book the return, we track your inbound flight from that point onwards. Landing times shift all the time and your driver is updated automatically if the arrival changes. You come through arrivals and your Call a Car driver is already there. No phone calls, no waiting around, just a straightforward ride back home to Ashton-under-Lyne.
We operate 24/7 the entire year, so it genuinely does not matter when your return flight lands.
