About black cab taxis

A wheelchair-accessible fleet of licensed “black cab” taxis operates from Manchester Airport. Taxi ranks are located just outside both terminals and at The Station. No booking is required, just make your way straight to one of the taxi ranks.

Why travel by black cab?

How much will it cost by black cab?

Set fares for within the Manchester Licensed Area are shown on the taxi meter. For journeys outside Greater Manchester, or four miles outside the City of Manchester, there is a published tariff of maximum fares, but it may be possible to negotiate a lower, fixed fare with the driver before beginning the journey.
