FAQs
Preston to Manchester Airport: your questions
How much is a taxi from Preston to Manchester Airport?
Prices start from £73 in a Saloon Car. An Estate Car is from £77 and a People Carrier is from £91. These are weekday starting prices. You’ll see the exact price for your date and time before you book, and that’s the price you pay.
How long does it take to get from Preston to Manchester Airport?
It’s about 41 miles by road and usually takes around 50 min in normal traffic, usually via the M61 and M60. Allow extra time at rush hour, and add the time you need at the airport before your flight.
What time should I leave Preston for a 6am flight?
Most airlines ask you to be at the airport about 2 hours before a short-haul flight and 3 hours before a long-haul one. For a 6am short-haul flight that means arriving by 04:00. The drive is about 50 min, and roads are quiet at that hour, so a pickup at about 02:50 leaves 15 minutes spare. For long-haul, about 01:50. Check your airline’s own advice.
What if there are more of us?
Our 16 Seater Minibus seats up to 16 passengers with room for 10 suitcases, from £261 on this route, which is £16 each when full. The booking form only shows cars that fit your group and luggage.
Can I book a return journey?
Yes. Choose “Return” in the booking form and add the date and time of your journey back. Both legs are priced before you book. If you only need the way back, see Manchester Airport to Preston.
Is this a licensed taxi?
Yes. FindCab is a licensed private hire operator (Manchester City Council private hire operator licence PO8017). Every journey is pre-booked at a fixed price, and every driver holds a private hire licence.
